Nyack is a vibrant riverfront village that lies primarily in Orangetown with a small portion in the neighboring municipality of Clarkstown. It’s much-beloved for its multitude of restaurants, eclectic shopping, and entertainment, all composed into a charming downtown with a true small-town feel. Located directly across the Hudson from Tarrytown, Nyack itself joins four neighboring hamlets—Central Nyack, South Nyack, Upper Nyack, and West Nyack—to be known collectively as “The Nyacks.” Nyack Beach State Park at Hook Mountain is popular with walkers, bikers, and picnickers, and serves as a link between Rockland Lake State Park and Central Nyack. For the culturally-inclined, the Debra Weiss Dance Company provides both dance programs and classes, and the Hopper House Art Center, the birthplace of the famed realist painter Edward Hopper, is a must-see, featuring outdoor jazz in the summer.
