A Hidden Gem with Heart This was my first time visiting the…read moreHabitat for Humanity ReStore, and it was such a wonderful experience. A friend of mine is opening a small artisan consignment shop, and we were able to find amazing store displays--stand shelving, a bench, and several other pieces that helped create the perfect rustic yet chic, neutral look she was going for. The staff and volunteers were incredibly pleasant, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. Parking is free, and I highly recommend going early during the weekday to make it easier to find a spot and less crowed. This place truly carries everything you could need for your home--sofas, bedroom and office furniture, bathroom items (from sinks to toilets), pots, home décor, light fixtures, shelving... you name it, they likely have it. They are constantly receiving new donations, so you never know what you'll find on a daily or weekly basis. Every time we thought we had found everything we needed, we decided to take one more look--and each time, we discovered even more great items. On top of that, it feels especially good knowing that your purchases support such a meaningful and worthwhile organization. If you have furniture or home items to donate, this is absolutely a place to bring them. I will definitely be back and highly recommend stopping in--you never know what treasures you'll find!

I didn't find what I needed but got tons of help from the staff as I looked. They even lent me their tape measure since I had forgotten mine.

She also mentioned that they have a moving company to help you transport purchases for those of us who are car-free. * friendly helpful staff * clean * large inventory * transport available

First breakfast and they served it at the bar - not thinking this is typical during the warmer weather as ambient temps hovered around brisk 49*. Bacon, egg and cheese on a roll with salt & pep, a Coors light and a shot of Jack. Breakfast and lunch service by the young barkeep was outstanding. His company of chit chat and recommended Yonkers golf tracks was most welcome. Glancing around the glade, the course is well woven into the mountain side at a sneaky 6400 yards of sloping fairways as you descend. On the practice range an older local gentleman approached me and delivered a summary that I quickly took down in yellow Sharpie and I'm glad he did. Managing your game, hitting shorter accurate shots is the only way to survive out here. When the holes slopes left to right, ya gotta draw it into it and fade the opposite way for us righties as balls settle deeply in the bog where the turkeys roam. The greens looked to have been airated (punched) a week ago, so they were mostly healed up, but putts did bounce a bit -- keeping an honest line and were quick from the back. After battling light hail on 18 tee - a par 3 and the cold front that was it's predecessor from 15, the golf day was done, totally dispensing my prior opinion of mountain golf. Back in the clubhouse quaffing steins of Yonkers Ale and making merry again, one eye on the sports tele, one ear on the sizzle of my burger a mere ten feet away and a hand on the Jack that keeps apoearing before me by the fellow to my left. Each little cook temp preference I gave was written down line by line resulting in the EXACT meal I was envisioning -- so double credit to my attentive barkeep and to the chef with the kind face and happy smile that delivered a doosie of a burger and fries.

If you're not into hiking or biking, this still seems like a nice park to sit and enjoy the day for a few hours. Pack a picnic lunch and go!

WATCH OUT FOR THE STUPID SECURITY GUARD…read more I was there a few days ago (April 29), early in the morning looking for the LLBean store to return an item. I asked a young, male Hispanic security guard who was sitting in his clearly marked security car where the store was and he told me it was on the other end of the strip. (it turns out the store was on the block we were on). I was later told by a worker (who barely spoke English ) at a pizza restaurant at the other end of the strip that the LLBean was at the other end of the mall where I had been. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S STUPID OR INCOPETENCE, BUT HOW DO YOU WORK SECURITY IN A MALL AND NOT KNOW WHERE THE STORES ARE (WHAT IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY). I HOPE HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY A FIREARM. HE NEEDS TO EITHER BE RE-TRAINED OR FIRED.

For many decades, it was believed that the November 20, 1776 landing of Cornwallis' troops occurred at this location, which was then known as Upper Closter Landing or the Closter Dock, and that General Cornwallis made this house his headquarters. It turns out not to be true, as mentioned by a park employee. A plaque was even created back in 1933. Looking back, he actually disembarked about six miles north of Fort Lee at Huyler's Landing, which puts it in today's location about 1 1/2 miles down south from here. It was restored to reflect three significant periods in its history: as an 18th-century home, a 19th-century fishing homestead, and the early 20th-century park headquarters. The area surrounding this house offers ample space for picnics, making it an ideal spot for families and history enthusiasts alike to enjoy the serene views, which we can recommend.

Sadly, there's a bit of graffiti spoiling it as of our visit, hopefully that will get cleaned up.
