The saplings have since grown and now stand in excess of 60' tall, having endured more than time and inclement weather since their planting. . . an aged woodsman hath told me this forests' size once doubled the earth it now stands on, that half the acreage was destroyed by the encroaching expansion of the F0rest Lab0rat0ries, to the South. There are many contemporary theories of the ultimate purpose of these trees, from being planted either to measure time, for use in pagan rituals, or for a decorative demonstration of a Neoclassical ideal: Mans' attempt to control Nature. Here they stand, still awaiting a greater call. The forest can be seen from passing traffic on Commack Road, where its unusual gridlines create a notable strobing effect as you drive past, though the forest is best viewed and experienced from beneath. The Mysterious Forest is on private property beyond a fence & security gate. It is not open to the public.

This tunnel is a pretty tight drive as you pass through in your vehicle. As I said, this tunnel will stay within your memories as part of South Amboy, New Jersey. I lived in South Amboy, New Jersey and grew up in Central New Jersey, which many claim that central New Jersey does not exist. I disagree. Central New Jersey certainly is a place. It is not the more rural south Jersey nor claim Philadelphia as their city, nor is it directly in the shadow of Manhattan (though here is within the shadow of Staten Island, New York). This "hole-in-the-wall" is part of the landscape of my memories and I am better for having driven through it (definitely a better driver). Again, these little quirks will forever stay within you no matter if your life journey took you far from South Amboy, New Jersey. It is perhaps more poignant will you remember something as seemingly inconsequential as a narrow bridge as a part of a community that you fondly cherish. I remember this "hole-in-the-wall" and smile at its memory.

So I was a little prepared for this interesting art spot that is maybe a quarter or half mile south of the Little Red Lighthouse along the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park. These stacks are made from local rock, a type called Manhattan Schist. They seem to be ideal for stacking as they have square edges and flat sides. This phenomenon apparently started in July 2017 and were initially the work of Uliks Gryka, who was inspired to create them after noticing the medley of rough, jagged rocks strewn about the shore. With the Midtown skyline way off in the distance on a clear day, you could almost imagine that these stacks - some five or six rocks tall! - could be skyscrapers themselves. I wouldn't recommend starting stacking stones - it's quite habit forming to see how many you can stack successfully before they tumble like a heavier version of Jenga. And be warned - the existing stacks are not glued or cemented in place. They can fall (on you!) at any time. Best to observe from a few feet away. They're about level with 171st Street if it continued west to meet the Hudson (which it obviously doesn't). [Review 15649 overall - 246 in New York - 1153 of 2021.]

There are about two dozen of these stacks and they look great with the panorama of the GW bridge behind them.

So it's perfect when I have a hour to kill before my car is ready. The small businesses here are great to visit. Most, if not all, are family-owned and run. The Cookery is a great farm to table establishment. They have an awesome menu that changes with the season. Harper's Bar and Restaurant is another really good place to eat. They offer dining specials like half-price wine bottles. Cedar Street Grill is so good. I love their happy hour with discounts on their food and drinks but even without the money off their food is really good. After my run and sometimes even after I finish at the gym in Yonkers I take the drive to Raw Juice. Their juices hit the spot! They have super fresh ingredients and they serve up your order quickly. It pays to grab a shot also. Their Wheat Grass shot tastes sooo good. It's sweet. Sweet! New York Bagel Authority serves up some sexy sandwiches, made to order. My go-to is an Everything w/Lox and CC, Onion and Capers. Yaaas. The Dawg House dishes up some interesting gourmet hot dogs. The loyalty card is you friend there so pick one up with your order. Another good visit is Sushi Mike's. Very fresh seafood and awesome specials. The price is definitely suited for Dobbs Ferry but the food is unmistakably good and staff is very attentive. We've visited Cedar Smoke which is a nice smoke shop with every vape that you would want. There are a few boutiques with unique fashion options. I really love this sleepy village. It's so quiet yet fulfilling. Sounds stupid but you really want for nothing when you stop by.

    Love this village. Beautiful view of the Hudson. Friendly, small town vibe. Its on my short list…read moreof towns to live.
