    Sunnyside - No one needed to workout at a gym a century ago.  An Old-fashioned laundry wringer worked your arms.

    We did quite a few old home tours while up in the area and this was easily one of my favorites…read more Guides in period garb explained various portions of the home and answered questions as well. The pace was never hurried or rushed and there was plenty of time for photo opportunities. Unfortunately our day was besieged by high winds, so we didn't explore the grounds much, but the buildings were really fascinating.

Although I think it would…read morebe even more enjoyable near Halloween, this is still a great historical site to learn about Washington Irving as one of the great early American authors. There is a big parking lot then a short trek to the visitor center. The tour groups are small so it can be good to buy tickets online, but we bought them on site with no problem. The gift shop has a lot of great items to peruse while you're waiting. The tour guides dress in period costumes which is a fun touch. Our guide was newish so didn't have all the answers to questions, but she was still pretty knowledgeable. A lot of the items in the house are directly from Irving or his descendants, so it was very informative to learn about his life and his most well-known books. The house has a nice view of the river and makes for a nice walk around the property after when the weather is nice. It's a great site in the Hudson Valley and worth visiting.

As someone who had a grandfather who survived WWII and a great uncle that did not, it was poignant to see such a nice depiction.

    For 1.3 million World War II American soldiers, Piermont, NY was their last stop in the country…read morebefore they sailed across the Atlantic to join the war in Europe. They were housed in nearby Camp Shanks, and on the day they left America to join the war, 40,000 men a month walked down the pier, and boarded either a ship to France or a ferry to New York on their way to England. For many, the walk down the Piermont pier was their final walk on American soil. This striking monument features a statue of a helmeted GI in full uniform. He has a hand grenade and a shovel on his belt, and a sash with many pockets for equipment storage. His right hand is raised in a sign of farewell. His left hand is resting on a stone whose plaque bears the following inscription: Last Stop U.S.A. During World War Two, 40,000 U.S. troops per month, including many Piermont residents, passed this spot enroute to the end of Piermont Pier, the largest port of embarkation on the East Coast, where ships were waiting to transport them to military duty in war-torn Europe. Many of these troops landed on the shores of France where the invasion began on June 6, 1944. Thus this area came to be known as "Last Stop U.S.A." After the war came to a victorious conclusion, some 533,869 men returned home to the U.S.A. first setting foot on their homeland at the end of that same Piermont Pier. "Lest We Forget," many of the men who embarked from Piermont never returned. This plaque is dedicated to the honor of those who served and the sacred memory of those who never returned. Dedicated 1994

    Governor Mario M Cuomo Bridge - Happy 4th Of July 2025 from Tapan Zee Bridge!

    This will always be the Tappan Zee Bridge to me and many other New Yorkers. Not only have I driven…read moreacross it I've also run a half marathon up to it when up in Sleep Hallow/Tarrytown. The bridge was renovated and improved and has a terrific look to it, especially when lit up at night. The bridge has a pedestrian and bike path which makes it safe for runners and the views are great. I think it's about a 5K trek from one side to the other. Definitely a nice route to take on for a training session.

This may be reasonable if my fillings weren't already loosened from the highway both before and after crossing. The roadway is riddled with potholes and seam bumps. Perhaps the cost of a steak dinner would be justified by the cost of good roads. On my 2000-mile journey from North Carolina to Massachusetts, however, the roads in Rochester and Westchester are among the worst I encountered. I-287 rated one star in https://www.yelp.com/biz/interstate-287-tarrytown?hrid=m0TRxKKllKLpBqlatt-4Lw. On this same trip, I crossed the Henry Hudson Bridge (a much more reasonable $8.25) and the Pell Bridge in Rhode Island (practically free at $4.00). Even my time on the New Jersey and Massachusetts Turnpikes didn't cost as much as the 4 miles of the Mario M Cuomo Bridge! Next time, I will drive the extra 20 miles to take the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge because not only is it only $2, they only charge it eastbound. [Review 959 of 2025 - 562 in New York - 24513 overall]
