I recently went back with my son and a friend for opening weekend. It was a low-key visit, but I was reminded how lovely the grounds are. I finally got to walk through the Rosen House--it's full of charm and history. The Sunken Garden was especially calm and relaxing. We had just been to NYBG, and while Caramoor is smaller, it's just as scenic and serene in its own way. Hoping to come back soon for a concert at the Rosen House--it seems like the perfect place to enjoy live music.

Mine for the last almost 30 yrs has been wanting to see Oumou Sangaré live. I couldn't help but feel like the luckiest fan on the planet when I scored $88 tickets a head for our 8pm concert and got watery eyes listening to her here- at the elegant Caramoor on a soupy Saturday. From what I've noticed, Caramoor always brings a top-notch and epic line-up covering a wide variety of genres as was the case with Malian Oumou Sangaré at this venue. On Girdle Road in Katonah, don't drive too swift otherwise you'll miss Caramoor's two stone pillars by the entrance. After that, you'll enter a lush, garden oasis leading to their elegantly lit driving path with white small bulbs. We'd gotten here 5 minutes late and were told to park anywhere we saw a spot and went with that. Thank you! Caramoor's grounds give off a truly cozy feel. There's even more than enough lawn space to grab a blanket or fold-up chair to chill out and listen to the music since the stage isn't far off- if that's what you want to do. With the weather being so unpredictable this summer and getting downpours we should've gotten in the Spring, it was great Oumou Sangaré played underneath an elaborate tent. I will mention though, I wasn't marveling at Caramoor's sound system. While I could make out which songs she was singing- the overall sound was terrible. The bigger picture is that I saw one of my favorite African singers of all time. Two, it says a lot that Caramoor strives to deliver a unique and global experience. To back this up, Angelique Kidjo also played here. While this is my first time visiting Caramoor, this is one experience I'll never forget.

Great Mathes is very talented and passionate about his music and this annual event -- people come back year after year - The talented horn/ sax players join each year to bring everyone into the holiday spirit .

With a spacious lobby area which includes a cafe one can relax prior to the show. As with any venue ones enjoyment primarily depends on performance. While we were disappointed with the "Monterey Jazz Festival" on Saturday evening we couldn't help but wonder why more "Pop" and "Jazz" concerts aren't scheduled here. Easy driving (in and out) access into the very spacious - and free - parking lot only adds to the comfort as does nearby restaurants for early / late dining.

The Peekskill Police presence (or lack thereof) is a major problem as is parking!

SARAH, the security guard is a predator!!!!…read more I went to House of Yes last night for Futch, a lesbian dance party. I been a couple times before and met Sarah there. She was always so friendly and flirty with me. Last night I came with my new partner. As soon as we walked in, she was standing nearby and she looked angry seeing us together. The rest of the night, all I could feel were her eyes on me from afar. At one point, she passed by me and secretly caressed my ass. I felt very uncomfortable and asked my partner if we could leave right after. I didn't feel safe asking for a manager to report her as she's already a supervisor security there. This is supposed to be a safe space and I DID NOT FEEL SAFE!!! Apparently from another person there, she gets "around" with girls there and even denied someone entry because they were no longer together. I would think she would be more respectful and keep it professional. I DID NOT CONSENT FOR HER TOUCHING ME LAST NIGHT!!! It's gross to think this is their employer. I will no longer be going back and neither will some of my other friends. It sucks, I really loved that party.
