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.

Now I don't know if this is because of the film or all of theaters in there are like this, but my…read morefilm was in a theater that was the same size as some people's entertainment rooms, I'm sure! I'm not complaining! Loved the large extended leather chairs, great sound and truly what seemed like a private showing -- I mean we're talking 'small,' as in 'tiny!' Pretty cool! The only negative was the fact people (adults) sat on the one side and let their kids go ape $#*! on the other side! Remember, this is a SMALL venue. It reminded me of what I hate about a similar cinema in Pleasantville -- a lot of privileged people on their phones, feet on the chairs, talking... but I digress! Anyway, I can't wait to go back and see something else, and hopefully in the same theater. If I see kids again, I'm getting my money back! I really want to know if the other theaters are the same size or larger. Assuming larger! Oh, parking was brutal -- almost non-existent!

I love the Bedford Playhouse! This is my "go-to" movie theater in the Bedford area. The theater's…read morecommitment to maintaining a pristine environment shines through in many details, from the lobby to the auditoriums that shine like new between shows. The Dolby Atmos sound system in the downstairs theater delivers crystal-clear, immersive audio that elevates the movie-going experience to a whole new level. The reclining, reserved seats are roomy/comfy. The box office and concessions team are super efficient and friendly, making the whole process seamless and enjoyable. The 2 smaller auditoriums upstairs are a little more hit or miss, but due to the care of the staff and the presentation of the feature are still better than the other theater in the area. One thing to note is that the Bedford Playhouse is normally closed on Mondays, and showtimes can be limited, so be sure to plan ahead, you may want to catch that new release but if you blink, you may miss it as films rotate in and out usually within 2 weeks of opening. Whether you're a film buff or just looking for a unique entertainment experience, this theater is a must-visit.
