1601 NY-9D, Garrison, NY 10524, United States

“Beautiful grounds, historic home and incredible views. We visited at Christmas for the candlelight evening tour. It was so lovely. There was a live pianist. The staff was helpful and friendly. They also had festive refreshments & Christmas activities in the visitor center & gift shop. There was plenty of parking and spotless restrooms. We live in NJ and found it by chance”

North End Ave &, Vesey St, New York, NY 10280, United States

“Such a beautiful little monument in the middle of Downtown Manhattan!! With views of the World Trade Center from such a green and natural park. In memory of the Irish famine of the 1800s. Lots of historical quotes and information written on the sides.”

1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301, United States

“When we visited this place last year, we were greatly impressed with how beautiful the garden is but I was really disappointed from my recent visit to this garden, especially since I came from another state to make a whole trip was not worth it at all. The garden is extremely beautiful but it is not being well preserved. The paint on the building is chipping away, the lights are so dusty and unclean, can not sit anywhere because of how dirty it is and different bugs/spiders.There are countless spiderwebs everywhere, leaves on the pond (not being cleaned)The Koi fishes are also not being fed at all (since they keep reaching for humans for food it is very noticeable). it is extremely disappointing to see such a beautiful place filled with immense culture and history not being well-maintained soon it will lose its beauty. As always, we humans ruin everything. I am genuinely begging for them to see this post so please fix this place before it is too late, so in the near future more people can visit and appreciate the beauty of this please 🙏”

Elizabeth St, New York, NY 10012, United States

“A small but beautiful garden in the midst of the hustle and grind of Soho. Statues stay watch in this serene escape from the craziness that the city brings. You can immediately feel a sense of calm as you pass through the gates into this little beautiful getaway. There is seating spattered throughout the park and it is a beautiful place just to sit, sip a coffee and get lost in a daydream.”

New York, NY, United States

“If you need a space to admire nature and spend some time disconnected. It has a beautiful view surrounded by emblematic skyscrapers. This is an ideal space to visit alone or with family.

We found tons of fossils, including trilobites which my son really wanted to find! From booking to our guide, the staff was helpful and super friendly. Highly recommend if you’re interested in fossils.”

100 Crescent Beach Rd, Glen Cove, NY 11542, United States

“What a find in Glen Cove, NY. We had to call to get directions in because it's a little hidden away, but it did not disappoint. The people were super nice and helpful. There was so much information and so many treasures. The garden was as breathtakingly beautiful as it was heartbreaking. I highly recommend it.”

4199 Webster Ave, Bronx, NY 10470, United States

“I have been doing ancestry since 2006 and in late 2016 my dad gave me a billfold then I found some paperwork and finally being able to locate my great great grandmother and this is the cemetery she’s buried in. Sad part is I went in on Veterans Day 2023 and the office was closed so no one was able to help me. I was able to ask someone on the grounds if he worked there and he did not, but he gave me a map and gave me directions to the section I needed to be. I was able to locate my ancestors after one hour of looking for them because the sections are not marked with anything. If you don’t know you just don’t know because I’ve never been there in the end. I was very happy to be able to locate them. 400 acres of if you know where to go, you know where to go.”

“Lovely old carousel with its original horses and organ. Maintained in absolutely amazing condition. Sadly she has lost her steam engine at some point in favour of an electric motor. A great ride for the kids and kids at heart.”
