Tivoli NY is a very close knit community located in the township of Red Hook in Northern Dutchess county. Tivoli
was incorporated in 1872 and because of the proximity to the Hudson River was once an economic center in the heydays of the steamboat, and railroad. The area went into a decline but in the 1980's went through a period when some of the older homes were renovated and the first condo complex in Northern Dutchess was constructed. Since then, Tivoli has had a surge of community spirit. Efforts are now underway to explore the idea of redeveloping the waterfront with a park and ferry service to Saugerties on the western shore.
The present population of Tivoli NY is less that 1,500. Some of the residents are only around for part of the year since they are students at nearby Bard College. The town is also very popular with the artist community.
Although located in the Town of Red Hook, Tivoli is classified as a village and does have a village government headed by a Mayor. The Village Offices as well as the Library are housed in the Watts de Peyster Historic Hall located next door to the Tivoli Fire house. Unlike many of the neighboring communities Tivoli has both a municipal water and sewer system.
RESTAURANTS
Athough Tivoli is a small community it has many fine restaurants. One of the buildings on the four corners in the center of town was renovated a few years ago into a wonderful hotel and restaurant. Called the Madalin Hotel and the restaurant Madalin's Table.
A variety of cuisines can be had here in Tivoli, so based on what you would like to eat this is what is available:
Santa Fe Restaurant - Here you can find Tex Mex with a contemporary flair.

Luna 61- Vegetarian fare.

RECREATIONAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Tivoli has it own park and here you will find young families having fun. With Clermont State Park just up the road it is not uncommon to see many taking walks up Woods Road to the Park.
As I mentioned earlier, Tivoli is popular with artists so here you will find an artist's Co-op which offers many art exhibitions throughout the year.
Also on Broadway is the Kastbaan Dance Center with performances of modern interpretive dance.
In the summer you can take a ride on the Hudson River with the Tivoli Sailing Company a popular activity for both locals and tourists alike.
Another popular activity is is the community activity of street painting when the Broadway is closed down for a creative street painting competition.
Other Cultural activities (such as, Bard college's famous Summerscape series of concerts, concert talks and films) are just minutes away at the Frank Gehry designed Richard B, Fisher Center.
