I came here for a Halloween party in Oct '17 thrown by Matte/The Danger List. I'll be reviewing…read morejust the space and not the event, although the event was awesome!!! Alder Manor is also referred to as the W.B. Thompson Mansion. Built in 1912, it's an officially protected historical site. First built by a mining magnate, then turned into a high school, then a junior college, then abandoned. At this point in its history it doesn't come off as a perfectly preserved landmark, which gives it much of its character. It is filled with rooms upon rooms, some of which are still waiting for restoration. Behind it is a newer building, looking very much like a small HS. The property is nice and large. Although not in prestige condition, it gives off a strong sense of elegance. I'm not sure what the price would be to rent the space. But whether it be an elaborate party or a massive wedding, this would be a fantastic space for most events.

We got married at Alder Manor this past fall. Overall it was an amazing place to get married and we…read morehighly recommend it. The garden is romantic and wild, and there are a variety of outdoor spaces that can be used for cocktails. The hall is huge and beautiful with many rooms that you are free to use - perfect for designing your event in whatever way you like. There are great dining spaces, dancing spaces, and lounge spaces with vaulted ceilings, marble, and hard wood with many lighting options. They are just getting going as a major event space and some things can be improved. Here are some specifics of our experience that might be helpful both to them and to you if you are planning an event there: On the Caterer - Sergio, owner of Chefs at Work is the exclusive caterer for the event space. He is an outstanding chef, will work long and hard with you to ensure that the food is exactly what you want, and it will be delicious and beautifully presented. That's the very good news. The less good news is that he is not a good manager. He went through several event managers while we were working with him and just when we would get to know one and actually get our phone calls returned, she would disappear and we would have to start over. Hopefully this was just growing pains and he will find someone permanent who will take over that side of the operation. Be a little careful there though if you are the kind of person who gets frustrated with not having phone calls returned. Make sure he has someone who is planning to be around for a while (or even better by the time you read this, has actually already been around for a while) and can take on the event-planning side of things. On the Florist - Susan, the house florist (not required) is not to be recommended. We started with her as a default because she knows the event space. Her quote came out a factor of two higher than another local florist for the same set of flowers so we were thinking of hiring the other florist. We talked it over with Susan and she said that she could bring the price down to something reasonable by using in-season flowers, etc. We agreed on a specific set of flowers that we love, wrote specifics into the contract, and signed on with her. Unfortunately, the flowers that showed up were not the flowers that we agreed on and the larger arrangements in particular were really not very nice. We were very disappointed. To make matters worse, part of the contract specified that she was to bring baby bush roses to be used to the cake. She didn't do this at all and we ended up having to scramble with some full-sized roses brought for something else. Find someone else.

I went to an event here. The place is lovely inside. The food came out late, and I am not sure if…read morethat was by the planners or in general. The food was quite good when it came out.

However, this time around I wanted it to be special, I wanted my daughter's 5th birthday to reflect exactly what she wanted, which is a fancy tea party. I'm not very good at the decor and party planning thing, so I definitely needed some help, some creative direction and someone that had a true eye for detail, to make my daughter's "tea room" come to life. So I thought about my talented and beautiful longtime friend Yanil of Casa De Reveurs and of course, she was as excited as I was! Within a few days, she was already on top of so many details, the venue options, the decor, the photo booth props, tea hats for the girls and bow ties for the boys, the cake, goody bags etc. We went to do a site inspection together. She brainstormed and covered so many detailed points with the sites event coordinator. Not to mention, she was always willing to help and to answer questions or help me make decisions, if I was feeling overwhelmed. That was so helpful and really made me feel like she had everything under control. The day of the party, there was a bit of a hiccup with the site opening up the space on time for setup, however Casa De Reveurs handled it and the decor was fantastic! Super sophisticated, adorable, the colors complemented each other so gorgeously and my guests were in awe. Everyone had beautiful things to say about my daughter's tea room, the kids had a great time and the full experience and surroundings were classy, relaxing and fun. The teacup cake, teacup cupcakes, adorable tea cup set and place settings for the kids were just too cute. I am so glad I asked Yanil to plan this event, because Casa De Reveurs really put love into my daughter's tea party. The photographer and helpers were also beyond awesome to my guests. I will definitely use their services again and again and again. I am a truly satisfied customer! Thank you Casa De Reveurs!

7th September 2026 Untermyer Gardens…read moreYonkers, NY Very Sunny 72°F Did you know that in 1913 Samuel Untermyer hired William Bosworth who was the same designer of Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico, to design the "finest garden in the world"? His vision was of a theatrical, magnificent landscape blending Indo-Persian, ancient Greek, Roman, and Italian Renaissance designs. When I was last here in 2013, the Untermyer gardens looked sadly desolate and neglected. Today, the gardens have been restored to their true remarkable glory thanks 100% to generous donations in the millions. We could not have chosen a more perfect day to visit the celebrated historical Untermyer Gardens overlooking the Hudson on this glorious Labor Day Monday. I took many photos which do not do justice to the gorgeous scope and details of the beautiful manicured 43 acres. ***Open 7AM to 7PM - seasonally.*** There's more information on their website and QR codes at the entrance with rules to respect the environment. Good job! **Get there early.** We went at 8:30AM. By the time we were leaving at 11AM the park was packed and parking impossible. Thank you so much for reading.

Untermyer Gardens is one of the most beautiful hidden gems in the New York area. The grounds are…read morealways stunning, but they're especially spectacular in September when everything is in full bloom and the gardens are filled with vibrant colors. Admission is completely free, although donations are accepted to help preserve this incredible place--which is amazing considering how well maintained it is. It's the perfect destination to spend about two hours, whether you want to enjoy a peaceful stroll, take plenty of photos, or do a little of both. The breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades make the visit even more memorable. There's also plenty of free parking, which makes getting there easy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that it can get fairly crowded on beautiful weekends, but it's absolutely worth visiting and returning to throughout the year.

It was easy for all of us to walk in and out and the waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable. It was restaurant week which we were in aware of so we were pleasantly surprised as we were able to have a three course meal for not a bad price at all. I had French onion soup to start and I was very happy with my choice as it was very flavorful and had a ton of onions which I love when they leave in all of them when they serve it. My friends had clam chowder and calamari. I had a few calamari and was very happy with how fresh and crispy it was. They gave a nice portion on all three. As for my main course I had a a very nice size steak sandwich that were absolutely delicious. It came with hand cut French fries. I couldn't believe how good it was. I'm usually extremely picky and the steak was so tender and it melted it my mouth. The fries were killer good as well. For desert, I had bread pudding and that was wonderful as well. It came in a cream sauce and I was very happy with what I picked. All in all, I loved my meal and the time spent with my friends that I hadn't seen in almost a year. We had laughs and a very nice conversation and they did not rush us at all. I will definitely be back for some amazing food and a wonderful atmosphere to soak it up with.

I very much have always loved the experience of Texas de Brazil…read more I love the cheesy bread, the salad bar and tried a really yummy Brazilian soda this time around. At the salad bar, I got some cheese, prosciutto, rice, potato salad, green beans, asparagus and potatoes au gratin. The only thing I found worth getting again was the potato salad but I didn't even need it because the mashed potatoes they bring out were enough for me, they're pretty good. I didn't like how the vegetables were all cold. The potatoes au gratin were warm but weren't good in my opinion but I was here for the steak so let's get to it: Picanha top sirloin - fire honestly, my favorite. Perfectly cooked. No notes whatsoever. This heavily weighed my rating. Tri tip - Pretty good taste, could've been more rare in my opinion. Flank - Okay, a little tougher than I was expecting. Garlic steak - Tough, not garlicky enough, overdone :/ not good. Barbeque ribs - Alot of cartilage, flavor was fine, not my favorite especially when there's steak involved. Bacon-wrapped filet - it was first brought out well done so I asked if they had it more rare. The server was nice enough to put in a medium rare request for me! He came back in about 5-10 minutes and it was more medium than rare (he asked me if it was alright and I lied because I didn't want to cause more stress so that's on me lol) I will say that it was definitely more rare than that first one and was more tender than the garlic steak but it fully absorbed the bacon flavor and it was a bit too much for me to enjoy. Other notes: I avoided the chicken because I remembered that it tends to be dry and I was right based on my family's reactions. I'm not a huge fan of sausage but my brother did have three of them so they're probably good lmao. The bananas are a good palate cleanser for in between and after. Since my birthday is coming up, I got a piece of the banana's foster pie and it was good! Just could do without the nuts inside personally. I would try something else next time probably. I think overall, Texas de Brazil is a bit hit or miss but I do enjoy the experience of trying and comparing different cuts, and there are some really good ones that make it worth it especially when I've been to expensive steakhouses that definitely don't have anything as good as that amazing picanha steak.

My partner ordered coffee and at first she told us the machine wasn't working, but a little while later she sent one of the workers across the street to fetch some. I got the fish and chips and my partner got the 3 egg omelette, where you also get to pick 3 fillings. The food was prepared fresh and came out nice and hot. The prices were great too, I think we both ate for around $40. I wanted to take advantage of the $6 brunch mimosas, but they had a sign up saying that they only accept New York IDs. Odd, but ok!
