IS THERE
ANYTHING
WESTCHESTER
DOESN’T HAVE?
Westchester County is the heart of New
York, with a variety of amazing destinations
that includes grand Rockefeller properties,
well-preserved 18th-century homesteads
and picturesque farming villages that dot
the countryside. Plus, our shows, fairs and
festivals are second to none – from the
annual Riverfest summertime celebration
showcasing Yonkers’ redone waterfront to
top productions staged throughout the year
at a variety of performing arts centers.
The county offers year-round fun, but
with a serious side that lets you get down
to business. After all, Westchester is New
York’s Intellectual Capital®, where a highly
educated workforce resides and constant
inspiration comes from world-renowned
4
colleges, universities and research centers.
Here, among our variety of attractions,
meeting spaces and accommodations, you
can be productive and still play hard, too!
Although “the city” often refers to New
York, Westchester boasts “the cities” – New
Rochelle, Yonkers and especially White
Plains, the county’s commercial and cultural
hub. They each offer their own urban vibe,
with culture and nightlife in abundance.
For the kid in all of us, Westchester is
home to Playland, a Long Island Sound
amusement park with family-friendly
entertainment. At the other end of the
county – and the energy spectrum –
Westchester is also home to Bedford, a
picturesque Colonial town set amid rolling
estates with celebrity residents like Meryl
Streep and Richard Gere.
Here are some big attractions you’ll enjoy
learning about in this Destination Guide:
William Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie.
Imagine yourself arguing the finer points
of Colonial law in the Bedford 1798 Court
House. Westchester County is home to
more than 200 properties on the National
Register of Historic Places, and many have
ties to African-American heritage and the
Revolutionary War.
Chic Shopping
In White Plains, The Westchester satisfies
even the most discerning fashionista, with
more than 150 upscale stores, including
Neiman Marcus, Burberry, Gucci and Brooks
Surrounded by History
Visit the home of Thomas Paine, father of
the American Revolution, furnished with
original 18th-century artifacts. Stroll among
the gravestones in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery,
the final resting place for Washington Irving,
The Westchester
Brothers. Westchester’s Ridge Hill is a
sophisticated outdoor shopping, dining and
entertainment destination in Yonkers, and
nearby, the Cross County Shopping Center
offers favorites such as H&M, Macy’s and
Victoria’s Secret.
Bargains sparkle at Port Chester’s Empire
State Flea Market, featuring more than 150
independent merchants, including 20 fullservice fine jewelers. Several other shopping
destinations are located within the county,
and its downtowns offer boutiques, art
galleries and specialty shops. Even the rural
countryside entices shoppers with antiques
shops, locally owned stores, artisan products
and fresh produce from roadside stands.
Water, Water Everywhere
Westchester is a paddler’s paradise and
boater’s bliss, bordered by the Hudson
River and Long Island Sound and bisected
by large, scenic lakes. George’s Island and
Croton Point parks are just two of many
places providing access to the Hudson, but
some people prefer the ambiance of the
pristine, 900-acre, three-mile-long Cross
River Reservoir.
Along Long Island Sound, rent an umbrella
and beach chair at Playland’s beach or cool
off in the pool. The city of New Rochelle is
home to the county’s second busiest park,
Glen Island Park, which boasts a beautiful
crescent-shaped beach.
Festivals, Fairs and Fun
Westchester’s calendar is packed with
plenty of enticing events. The Lyndhurst
Crafts Fair, Yonkers Riverfest, Great Jack
O’Lantern Blaze and Frosty the Snowman
Parade are just a few of the offerings
throughout the year. And of course, nobody
should miss Clearwater’s Great Hudson
River Revival, an annual summer treat
inspired by the environmental efforts of folk
legend Pete Seeger.
In the hamlet of Cortlandt Manor,
beautiful ensemble music can be heard
wafting from the rustic Copland House,
former residence of influential composer
Aaron Copland. Elsewhere, the Westchester
Philharmonic and Caramoor Center for
Music and the Arts enjoy an international
reputation for high-quality classical music
and other entertainment, while the Emelin
Theatre in Mamaroneck often welcomes
more contemporary pop and rock stars, such
as Aimee Mann and Commander Cody.
Throughout the county, smaller art centers
and theaters provide plenty of opportunities
to enjoy quality entertainment.
Winter Wonderland
What’s a little winter when it brings with
it crisp starry nights, invigorating crosscountry ski trails, hiking, snowshoeing, ice
sailing or just relaxing by a warm fire with a
DID YOU KNOW ...
The prestigious Sleepy Hollow
Country Club followed up its
starring role in the 2010 movie
The Bounty Hunter (which
featured Jennifer Aniston and
Gerard Butler splashing into one
of the golf course’s water hazards)
by recently serving as the setting
for Beyoncé’s music video, “Best
Thing I Never Had.”
cup of hot chocolate and a good book?
See a hockey game, practice your
own skating at a public ice rink or use
those chilly months to visit the Hudson
River Museum, attend a golf expo and take
in a musical at the Westchester Broadway
Theatre.
Stay Awhile
Whether you want to rest in a castle
on the Hudson or an ultra-modern hotel,
Westchester can accommodate you.
Bed and breakfasts, conference centers,
luxury lodging and budget hotels provide
just the right place to stay and play.
When it’s time to work, meeting space
is plentiful, including theaters, classrooms,
banquet halls and hotels with business
centers and wireless Internet access.
Conference centers offer a chance for
team-building activities, too. The Tarrytown
House Estate and Conference Center,
located in two 19th-century mansions
on 26 acres, revolutionized the meeting
industry when it opened in 1964, and
today it’s still the industry-leading
destination.
With all of this going for it, the Smart
Choice is definitely to meet, stay and
play in Westchester County!

Westchester fits the bill, with plenty of performing arts
venues. Full-service luxury spas and multiple

10 Reasons Why
Westchester is
Your Smart Choice
The Cliffs
Whether you’re just looking for a place to go for a small group
outing or planning an event for hundreds of guests, Westchester County
is the destination for you. Here are 10 reasons (among many!) to
think Westchester:

1. Play at a variety of award-winning attractions
and stay in Westchester’s relaxed and
convenient accommodations.
2. Location, location, location. No matter what
setting you desire, we can offer it, from a
remote hamlet to a happening city scene.
As an aside, did you know that more than 55
feature films and cable TV shows have been
shot here in recent years? The camera
doesn’t lie!
3. Planes, trains and automobiles – whichever
form of transportation you prefer, it’s easy to
get here and easy to get around!
4. We have something for everyone – If variety
is the spice of life, your cultural palate will
be well-satisfied in Westchester. Nature
lovers, night owls, music buffs, sports fans,
fashionistas and foodies all get to explore
what they love.
5. Leave your worries on shore and spend a
day boating on the Hudson River or Long Island
Sound, which both border the county.
6. Lose your head in history. The county that is
home to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow is rich in
historical and cultural sites to visit.

7. Follow the fairways – Westchester boasts
some of the region’s best golf courses, including
Saxon Woods, a favorite with the public since
1931.
8. Keep the team together for a great night
on the town. Clubs, restaurants, theaters and
performing arts centers keep the beat.
9. Stay busy. Our fully loaded calendar of events
always has something going on.
10. We’re just as good as we think! While in

– you are among thousands of brilliant men
and women who live and work here. New
inspiration is around every corner, and the
excitement is definitely contagious.
That’s why we’re so proud to say that
Westchester is definitely your
SMART CHOICE
for meetings, events and group
activities.
Think Westchester for team-building
exercises that promote cooperation and
communication, allowing participants
to further develop their problem-solving
and decision-making skills.
Along with having two quarter-mile
European-style tracks outdoors, Grand
Prix New York in Mount Kisco combines
indoor open-wheel racing with events
space and conference rooms. The Cliffs,
found in Valhalla, offers indoor rock
climbing and fitness challenges. What
better way for your group to relax than

instruction and everything they need at
Make Your Own Wine in Elmsford. LIFE
The Place to Be is a 29,000-square-foot
special events and entertainment center
in Ardsley. Those attending a corporate
meeting can enjoy breakout sessions of
arcade games, laser tag and bowling.
The region’s conference centers also
arrange everything from adventurebased activities to indoor events.
Sometimes, whether it’s a family
reunion or an employee union, people
just need a chance to relax in a social
setting, like Emma’s Ale House in White
Plains or Mulligan’s at Doral Arrowwood
in Rye Brook. Whether it’s a gourmet
meal or a karaoke contest, arranging an
outing can improve morale and energize
participants.

extension of your team, providing
hands-on service to ensure success.

A Quaint Place to Stay
With an Elegant Feel
If you’re looking for some of the amenities of a fullservice hotel but with plenty of charm and perhaps
a bit more scenery, Westchester County has a
variety of top-notch inns and bed and breakfasts
that offer a quiet, peaceful getaway.
Set on 14 wooded acres in the heart of horse
country, the Bedford Post Inn, owned by film
star Richard Gere, is Westchester’s only Relais
& Chateaux property. It is an eight-room luxury
inn with a yoga studio, a reflecting pool and
bathrooms that have double-soaking, antique
claw-foot tubs imported from Portugal. Two onsite restaurants, The Barn Restaurant and The
Farmhouse, offer casual and upscale dining
options, respectively.
Just a short walk to the village of Croton-onHudson, the Alexander Hamilton House is a
bed and breakfast that sits on a cliff overlooking
the Hudson River. Featuring some rooms that
include a fireplace and a whirlpool tub, the lavish
inn is close to historic houses, Blue Hill at Stone
Barns, Kykuit, wineries and more.
Westchester County also features several motels that
capitalize on convenience and comfort.

When Your Group
Works Up an Appetite
Whether you need to arrange a corporate dinner or a
wedding reception, Westchester has the ideal venue.
Enjoy authentic Puerto Rican dining at Don Coqui where
your group can participate in corporate team-building events,
interactive cooking parties or Iron Chef competitions. Thirdgeneration restaurateurs Jewelle and Jaleene Rodriguez
showcase signature dishes carrying on their family legacy. If
you and your group are looking for a quick, inexpensive bite
of fresh food, look no further than Lonnie’s Fish n’ Chips, a
take-out only place that serves up battered shrimp, chicken
and fish, along with homemade salads and baked goods.
When the workday is over, your group can enjoy
Westchester’s vibrant nightlife. Plan a pub crawl from
Korova Milk Bar to Red Hat on the River; an evening
over vino at The Gnarly Wine or an outing to sample
fabulous cocktails such as espresso martinis from the
Goldfish Oyster Bar & Restaurant. Our late-night
hot spots guarantee you and your group a fun, comfortable
atmosphere. Can’t decide where to go? Check out
Village Social, a popular bar and restaurant that buzzes
in Westchester, combining the party scene with intimate
dining.
