Get to know Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow

Tarrytown is perhaps Westchester’s best-known river town, owing its notoriety in no small part torepeated appearancesin popular culture across a span of more than four centuries. Washington Irving wrote volumes inspired by the surreallandscape of so-called “Sleepy Hollow country” from the comfort of his Sunnyside estate, today a popular attraction atthe border with neighboring Irvington. Today’s Tarrytown is a live-and-let-live kind of place, with a sizable, pedestrian-friendly downtown by the river and an inland stretch of office parks and such heading towards Elmsford. You’ll findart galleries, eclectic design shops and specialty food stores to fill a canvas tote with everything from artisan-curedcharcuterie to locally-roasted coffee. Whether catching a show at the ornate Music Hall or sojourning to the storiedgardens of Lyndhurst, the Gothic manse a rosebud’s throw from Main Street, it’s a fine place to tarry awhile.
