Activities

 • Follow Ichabod Crane's flight from the Headless Horseman - Fans of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow can follow the route of Ichabod Crane from the center of Tarrytown north into the adjacent village of Sleepy Hollow. But don't expect to find the "Western Woods" or anything else from the 1999 movie Sleepy Hollow. Tim Burton's production is only loosely based on Irving's story, and was filmed largely in Hertfordshire, England.
 • Ice skating. If the winter is cold enough, there is ice skating on the smaller of Tarrytown's reservoirs.
 • Go walking or bicycling on the Old Croton Aqueduct trailway. The original water supply to New York City is now a walking trail that runs from Croton-on-Hudson in the north to Yonkers in the south. Notably, the trail passes through the Lyndhurst estate in the south end of Tarrytown, and very near Washington Irving's Sunnyside. Over the 180 years since it was built, portions have disappeared from the downtown areas of several river towns, including Tarrytown. Hudson Office Supply, +1 914-631-0192, at 10 Main St. sells maps of the trail.
 • Take in a show at the Tarrytown Music Hall, 13 Main St, +1 914-631-3390 - Nonprofit venue regularly hosts jazz concerts, classic movies, and cultural events. Show dates are posted outside the music hall's main entrance and on its web site.
 • Waterfront concerts. At the village's Pierson Park. Events are usually posted in the window of the Chamber of Commerce, 54 Main St.
 • Third Friday happens on the third Friday of the month, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. On that evening there are special events in the village, some restaurants offer bargains, there's usually music in the streets, and galleries and other businesses are open late. Participating businesses are on Main Street and the adjacent sections of Broadway.
 • Visit the farmers market. Fresh Hudson Valley produce, meats, and bread. Sometimes live music or demonstrations of traditional crafts. Saturdays, 8:30AM to 2PM, rain or shine, beginning of June to the middle of November. Patriots Park, next to the Warner Library on Route 9 (Broadway).
