Tarrytown is perhaps Westchester’s best-known river town, owing its notoriety in no small part to repeated appearances in popular culture across a span of more than four centuries. Washington Irving wrote volumes inspired by the surreal landscape of so-called “Sleepy Hollow country” from the comfort of his Sunnyside estate, today a popular attraction at the 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 find art galleries, eclectic design shops and specialty food stores to fill a canvas tote with everything from artisan-cured charcuterie to locally-roasted coffee. Whether catching a show at the ornate Music Hall or sojourning to the storied gardens of Lyndhurst, the Gothic manse a rosebud’s throw from Main Street, it’s a fine place to tarry awhile.
