I'm driving from NYC to Ludlow Vermont. I'm not interested in speed, but the prettiest and most interesting route that takes one day. Any suggestions? Hudson Valley or CT/MA? I don't plan on stopping much, but want something interesting to look at along the way. Thanks in advance.

Do you ever use via Michelin to check out what they recommend as a scenic route? Even if I go to other sources, it's interesting to compare.
One thing to remember if you are going after the clocks turn back is that unless you get a really early start, or don't stop for anything, you'll end up doing part of the drive in the dark. I don't like to get up early, and I do like to eat lunch, so I'd probably do some of the road for speed, and some for scenic so I could get into Ludlow before dark.
RFK Bridge-Hutchinson River Pkwy-onto Merritt Pkwy-to I 91-right on up to VT.
Or maybe Henry Hudson Pkwy to Sawmill R. Pkwy to Taconic to I90 east to Rte 7 North
Or maybe Hutch to I684 to I84 to US 7 in Danbury onto 7 and up to VT
not 684 to 84!
Taconic to NY 23 to Great Barrington, MA
US 7 to Bennington, VT
VT 9 to VT 100
VT 100 to Ludlow
As of last weekend, the color on VT 9 and VT 100 was good to excellent.
If you need to make time, take the Taconic to I-90, get off at West Stockbridge and pick up US 7 in Stockbridge or Lenox.
