Things To Do
Times Square
With its neon lights and billboards, Times Square is New York's most famous landmark and is the liveliest area in the city, located at the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue. In Times Square you will find bars, restaurants, theatres, museums and a great atmosphere.
Bear Mountain State Park
This natural splendor in the Hudson Valley, just 45 minutes from New York City and seven miles from the United States Military Academy at West Point, offers year-round activities for the entire family. From scenic, breathtaking hiking to world-class fly fishing and boating to cross country skiing and ice skating, we offer everything for the outdoor enthusiast.
Riverfront Park
With a backdrop of the Hudson Highlands, kayakers, swans and occasional barges, this is an ideal spot to river watch, enjoy a picnic or bring the kids to a playground.
Hudson Yards
The neighborhood buzzes with activity, and is known for chic art galleries, inviting restaurants and bars, and international fashion and design.
Untermyer Gardens Conservancy
The Untermyer Gardens Conservancy is dedicated to the revitalization of Samuel Untermyer’s once great gardens, now a City municipal park in Yonkers, New York. Working with the City of Yonkers, the Conservancy will showcase exuberant horticulture in the magnificent landscape designed by Welles Bosworth in 1916. An emphasis on the lives of Samuel and Minnie Untermyer will deepen the appeal and meaning of these gardens for all people.
Glen Island Park
his 105-acre island property is connected to New Rochelle by a drawbridge built in the 1920s. After Playland, Glen Island is the second most widely used park in the County Parks system. One of Westchester’s unique jewels, it was initially developed as a summer resort by John H. Starin. The original design exhibited the five cultures of the western world on individual islands linked together with piers and causeways. Today the islands have been merged with substantial fill areas totaling 130 acres and providing a beautiful crescent shaped beach with access to the Long Island Sound.
Kensico Dam Plaza
The Kensico Dam was built under the old dam that formed Lake Kensico, using stone taken from the adjacent Cranberry Lake Park. More electric power was applied for its creation than any other construction work for the Catskill water supply. The crushing plant at the quarry was the largest ever placed on contract work, and a railroad was built solely for the purpose of carrying debris from the construction site to landfills. At the quarry village, a school operated for the children, sewing classes for the women, and English language classes for the predominately Italian male workers.
