The wings are the thing here: mild, hot, extra hot or Chernobyl, plus teriyaki and bbq. Regulars know to ask for a hot/teriyaki mix. Cash only. Read more.
Most of the time it's $35 per person for a 2.5 guided tour, with the ferry (that's right, one ferry) leaving at 12:30 from Beacon. Just a heads up, "self-guided" tours are only on 3rd Sundays.
Do the hiking trail around the island. It is beautiful walking along the water.
It's always a good walk up. The last staircase will kill you. After you takes break at the top for awhile. Take the indian trail back down. Cross the bridge and go down to couches staircase.
A must-see, even if you're not swimming. Hiking points allow visitors to experience the falls from above or below, with a swimming hole available in the middle. Directions are obvious.
A restaurant located in the chef's basement? Unusual perhaps, but DIY chef Damon Baehrel uses the proximity to his backyard farm to create masterpieces that showcase his genius and the earth's bounty.
Make sure you start at the planetarium. That's where you need to buy tickets for the mansion tour. The people at the gatehouse forget to mention this fun fact and it's a long walk back if you have to.
Great food. They offer a full pig which is something I'd LOVE to come back for.
Once the largest dam in the world + 2nd largest hand-hewn stone masonry structure (after the Great Pyramids at Giza). Breathtaking views from Croton Gorge Park AND the top of the bridge. A MUST!
Fairly easy climb: short, but steep at times. Pay attention to the trail markers, navigating can be a little tricky. The view from the top is beautiful!
A place to hike with the family. This spot often has special programming, including cabaret nights, opera and more. Also used as a location for movies and television.
Reserve your tickets in advance! There's a limited capacity tour and they're usually sold out.
