Ok – I like taking photos – I admit it…Any excuse to photograph towns and villages in the area will do.
One of the most picturesque towns in Westchester is Tarrytown NY. Many people fall in love with this town because of its central location and unique character. With respect to location, it doesn’t get any better than this! Located right on the Hudson River, an amazing sunset is served up every single night! Futher, Tarrytown is an express stop along the Hudson Line. Just 35 minute to Grand Central Station and you are in midtown Manhattan. With I-287, I-87 and the Tappan Zee Bridge – Tarrytown is situated for easy access to areas like White Plains and New Jersey making a commute either east or west and across the Hudson very easy to deal with. North to south there is the Saw Mill River Parkway, The Sprain Brook and the Taconic. So points north and south are also easy for commuters to access. When you live in a high density area, your lifestyle is ruled by your commute and it doesn’t get much easier than this.
The photos are from Tarrytown’s Main Street. It has a character and charm from a bygone era – yet is surprisingly New York with high-end restaurants, art galleries and entertainment. The town has a lot of unique boutiques, The Tarrytown Music Hall which has a constant stream of entertainment is pictured below. It is the oldest Music Hall in Westchester and has been largely restored to its former glory! Enjoy the photos – they were taken in the late summer and are a reflection of the character and charm of one of my favorite River Towns.
