Lyndhurst was a dream estate built by Mr. Pauling that was sold to Jay Gould that overlooked the Hudson River. During Halloween, the house was decorated with Halloween decorations that took away from the overall historic feel of the house but was entertaining. I took the tour of the house it lasted about an hour and a half and get a good look at the furniture that was in the house during Jay Gould’s life. The house itself wasn’t anything extremely impressive. The most memorial piece of information about the estate for me was that the TV series, Dark Shadows, was filmed at Lyndhurst, and Barnabas’ and Angelique’s paintings from the TV series were displayed in one of the rooms. The house was built in a gothic revival style where ever door, window, room, furniture and et cetera had a parallel matching accompaniment. It was a enjoyable historic site to explore.

This theatre is an hour away for me but worth the drive. The wide variety of performers means there's a show for everyone. The theatre is small and every seat is great. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Music Hall is surrounded by a lot of restaurants if you want to grab a bite before the show. Parking is decent. There are some lots surrounding the Hall and street parking is free after 6PM Monday through Saturday.

4. Scenic Hudson RiverWalk Park

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 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
