Things To Do
Pub Fare
Pearl River Hotel, Southbound, Noonans, and the Saloon are some of our favorites. “The most Irish place in New York State,” mainly due to the fact that 52.4 percent of its residents have Irish heritage. The annual Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day parade is the second largest in the country. And, so it stands, you might want to check out our pubs.
Family Fare
The Pearl River Saloon Chances are, if you are visiting from out of town, you will find yourself bellying-up and meeting way more locals than you anticipated. It's part of the experience - we'll meet 'cha at the Saloon.
Fancy Fare
The Old '76 House Although not officially used as a jail, in 1780 Major John Andre, a British spy, was imprisoned there for conspiring with Benedict Arnold. And...it's haunted, so if you're scared...stick to the Pearl River pubs.
Pizza
Nanuet Hotel A family favorite - sit at the bar or reserve a cozy private nook. Leave yourself some time, the pizza takes a few minutes, but it's worth the wait.
