Our guide, Jim, gave such an informative, interesting tour of the mansion. You came away feeling you really got to know a lot about the people who had lived there! Every room was breathtaking in furnishings and decorations for Christmas! This was a perfect time to visit! Even though the mansion is very large, it felt like a home...just lovely!

I took the Kykuit house tour of the home and grounds. I did not expect to see such spectacular views and a Picasso art collection that was so extensive. Our guide, "Merla" was a treasure. She made every room and outdoor view come alive. The weather that day could not be better and the grounds were as interesting as the home. Be sure to go on a day when good weather is predicted. You will be amazed at the sheer beauty of the location as well as the extensive and priceless art collection. What was particularly special was how close you could get to the objects. So much better than any museum.

The cemetery was well kept and it was a beautiful fall walk. The graves were interesting and some were unusual. Interesting that Roosevelt, Carnegie, and Gompers were all in there together. Made for good commentary when discussing the gilded age in history class.

We've been going to this mall since it opened. It certainly has changed over the years, and we miss some of the "nicer" stores that were there in the past, but we still enjoy it. It still has a pretty good variety of stores. We go to shop, and to the theater, but frequently, we have lunch on the 4th floor, then we walk, doing a circuit of every single floor. Then back to the 4th floor to the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble for a decaf. Because we're retired we only go during the week, and so avoid the crowds. It isn't the most attractive mall, but there is plenty of parking and it's close by where we live.

We had a great time on the Al Vento with captain Kevin et al. The boat is beautiful and the team couldn't have been nicer. A great way to see the lower Hudson Valley waterfront. I'll bet a multi day trip would be great fun.

Some of the characters in Irving's Legend can be found buried in this cemetery.
Reviewed By therese l - Cobleskill, New York
We were here for the "Legend" which included both an excellent storyteller in period costume and an equally good musician also in costume. Getting to sit on these historic pews allowed us to go back in time and imagine what it was like for the early settlers (who must have worked very hard to appreciate those wooden benches).
