Loved this little shop in Tarrytown. Everything is handmade (well almost) and made in different parts of the world. The owner of the shop is a very nice and helpful lady, highly recommend stopping by if you are visiting Tarrytown or of you live there.

I wasn't sure what to expect of the scenic Hudson Riverwalk, which comprises 31+ miles along the shoreline from Tarrytown up. The path is paved and is right next to the water, from which you can see the new Tappan Zee bridge, a muted view of the Manhattan skyline, shrubs and flowers growing along the water and New Jersey across the river. I'd say the views were phenomenal, even on this cloudy day! We walked all the way to the Lighthouse which was not open although you can walk across a small bridge to the Lighthouse, which looked to be quite old but in good condition. We continued our walk to another park from where it was hard to find the continuing path along the water, so we just walked back through suburbia. Loved the area, people were friendly - lots of dog walkers and joggers. Would love to return one evening.

We walked from the nearby Courtyard Marriott and entered a busy, lively sports bar with at least 5 different games and passionate NY fans. The beer and food were delicious and the service was excellent. We were not rushed and were very comfortable with the noise. We will return.

Stephanie was very welcoming and gave us an appointment to come shop (due to COVID protocols you have to do that, she even had masks at the door on a little table) on short notice. The store is on 2 floors of a Victorian house, beautifully decorated and you'll find furniture, home decor, jewelry, clothes, and more. There are also cute new things with a vintage air. We bought some cute things and really enjoyed it. I would definitely go back.

We started in Sleepy Hollow for Kingsland Point Park and the views are so beautiful especially on a clear day. Walked down to the lighthouse and the path goes all the way to Tarrytown. Loved it

Southern-most of the 8 Hudson River live-in lighthouses.

Lovely little lighthouse with some awesome views of the Tappan Zee (Mario Cuomo) Bridge. Access to the lighthouse itself is currently closed but there a walkway from the Kingsland Point County Park that you can take there. Right now they have a community project there with a long mural wall of art along the waterside. It is quite lovely.
