• Untermyer Gardens
  "Lovely"
  "The Untermyer Gardens are lovely, but it is a shame that they were allowed to deteriorate. I applaud the society working to restore them. New York lost a gem when it could not maintain the house and grounds. The walled garden has the most magnificent weeping beech trees (at lest that is what I beli..."eve them to be). The views to the Hudson River are stunning. I hope in the future the gardens can be further restored. " More >

Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, Calif., though on a smaller scale. As you stand amid the flowers, overhanging trees and fountai..."ns, looking at the Persian-style sphinxes, Greek columns and the Hudson River, it's easy to feel yourself transported to a land of elegant, timeless, classical beauty. You can almost imagine Keats or Shelley reciting here (John Masefield, the poet laureate of England, lived and worked nearby around 1895), or imagine nymphs and satyrs cavorting in the pastoral scene. (OK, I shouldn't get carried away.) Descend the steep steps to get a closer look at the river. In the summer, concerts and the occasional play are presented. There is no better place around for these shows, and even when there's nothing going on, it's a quiet, idyllic spot. If you were to see nothing else in Yonkers, you would be... " More >
