IDH is correct, of course, but also slyly humorous.

According to river experts, whomever they may be, say the Hudson River is indeed a river as it has a fresh water source in the Adirondacks. It also has a school named after it, which of course has nothing to do with fish or bad teachers, but were landscape artists enthralled with romanticism.

I would add the Museum of Art and Design, if you have not been there.
