Tarrytown

Tarrytown stands as Westchester’s most iconic river town, forever linked to Washington Irving, whose classic tales “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” immortalized its scenic beauty. Originally drawn to Tarrytown for its idyllic countryside while visiting a friend, Irving fell in love with the area and made it his home, renovating his Sunnyside estate—now a public landmark and centerpiece of “Sleepy Hollow country.” Year-round tours of Sunnyside and local monuments are especially popular in autumn, when the town embraces its Halloween heritage. Tarrytown’s riverfront downtown is lively and walkable, featuring galleries, unique design shops, and gourmet food stores, surrounded by a mix of historic homes and modern townhouses and condos.
