Walking the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail: A Village-by-Village Guide

Twenty-six miles of history stretch from Cortlandt to Yonkers along the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail. We walked the entire route and broke it down village by village — where to park, where to eat, and the best hidden landmarks most hikers walk right past.

Northern Westchester's Quiet Corners

Past the sprawl of White Plains and the traffic of I-287, Westchester opens into something unexpected — horse farms, stone walls, and winding roads that feel more Vermont than New York.

From the antique corridors of Bedford to the conservation trails of Pound Ridge, the northern tier of the county rewards anyone willing to get off the highway. Our town guides cover where to park, what to eat, and the side streets worth getting lost on.

Town Guides

Every Village Has a Story

Westchester's 48 towns and villages each carry their own character — from the maritime roots of Mamaroneck to the artsy stoops of Hastings-on-Hudson.

Our town guides go beyond the visitor center brochure. We cover the main street you'll actually walk, the park you should bring lunch to, and the cafe that opens earliest. Each guide is written from firsthand visits, not search-engine summaries.
