Bridge View Tavern in Sleepy Hollow

Try a beer over the Hudson and a host of scrumptious comfort food.

January 9, 2013

Bridge View Tavern has something for everyone. The foodie loves the house smoked meats like pulled pork, brisket, wings and ribs. The beer aficionado comes for the rotating selection of over 20 beers on tap and growlers to take home. Enjoy wine on tap, wine lovers, and sports fans, you’ve got several TVs playing the game of the day. (But they weren’t intrusive for someone like me who doesn’t want to watch the game.) Others come for the spectacular views of the river (even if it’s a tad industrial with the old GM plant right in view). And kids love the kids menu with pot of super cheesy mac and cheese.

Westchester Parks: Kingsland Point Park

This Sleepy Hollow park packs stunning river views.

August 13, 2012

Kingsland Point Park is one of the Rivertown’s best kept secrets. It’s tucked away behind a charming neighborhood in Sleepy Hollow, and you wouldn’t even know it was there unless you happened upon it, like I did several months ago. “Kingsland is the best park in the Rivertowns,” I overheard one mom tell another recently at the Irvington Farmers Market.

It reminded me of how much I love it too — so I found myself there with my sister and son last week. [...]

Don’t Miss: Pirates of the Hudson 2012

Pirates are Set to Swashbuckle their way through Sleepy Hollow.

June 29, 2012

Remember the 1985 movie “The Goonies“? A group of pre-teens find an old map, and to save their homes from demolition, they go on an adventure to unearth One-Eyed Willy’s hidden treasure. It was a hit for the same reason that “Pirates of the Caribbean” is coming out with a fifth sequel: Pirates make a child’s imagination run wild.

There is ample room for pretend play at this week’s “Pirates of the Hudson: The Siege of Sleepy Hollow” at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow.
