ravel the river towns of the Hudson Valley and discover “New York Living” at its best! Every stop offers its own unique blend of urban, Tsuburban and rural settings, must-see attractions, and delightful destinations. For instance:

There are recreational opportunities for outdoor lovers, like boating on the Hudson, walking along the many wooded trails or just experiencing the seasons in the wild. The river towns’ main streets are all about dining, shopping, and entertainment with an ever expanding menu of choices. Shopping options abound from weekly Farmers Markets to large shopping centers, and from antique stores to art galleries. For artists in every field, the Hudson Valley supports a lifestyle defined by creativity and it provides inspiration in many hues and textures. From the region’s premiere destination—the Paramount Hudson Valley offers world-class performances by top flight entertainers on stage here all the time. The history of the river towns is truly historic from its beginnings with Dutch settlements to its role in the Revolutionary War. George Washington commanded troops from this vantage point. Each of the region’s waterfront communities has its own Metro North station. You can hop on a train and be in Grand Central in 30, 45, or 60 minutes—depending on your place of departure. Small town charm is evident in many of the communities. That’s why so many people choose to live, work, play, invest, and raise a family here.

This visitor guide and directory provides all the information needed to enjoy all our region’s advantages whether you are a business person, visitor or resident wanting to know more. Feel free to stop by the chamber and pick up additional information on all that is offered!

Sincerely, Deb Milone Executive Director

Growing Hub of Cultural, Commercial & Residential Development

Welcome to Peekskill, a city on the move! Peekskill has approximately 25,000 residents, and many thousands more call it a good place to work and conduct business, not to mention the thousands of tourists who are drawn to the community annually. The City of Peekskill is rich with economic opportunities and a vibrant, diverse and committed citizenry. With the help of its economic and creative partners, the future of the City of Peekskill is very bright. For instance, the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce and the Peekskill Business Improvement District (BID) are two important organizations that have acted as catalysts to facilitate the reputation of the City. Their efforts have helped lead the way to Peekskill’s residential growth, commercial development and expansion as a major hub for cultural, entertainment and business activities for the Northern Westchester County area and beyond. As Mayor, I am proud of the long-awaited commercial development which we now see all over the City. This last year alone has seen construction underway at the Lofts on Main Street project. Work has also started at the Abbey Project at Fort Hill. This will provide market rate rental housing, an inn and spa, and an enhanced and enlarged Fort Hill Park. Next year the City will also see the redevelopment of the property formerly known as “The Cove,” which will include a restaurant and catering facility, a bowling alley, brewery and distillery, and a family amusement center. The City of Peekskill is actively pursuing commercial businesses to provide PEEKSKILL’S HISTORIC TIMELINE jobs and economic opportunities here.

PEEKSKILL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION The Peekskill Business Improvement District (“BID”) works to promote the growth and development of downtown Peekskill as an attractive place to live and conduct business through business recruitment and retention, marketing campaigns, capital improvements, beautification efforts, event sponsorship and advocacy. Founded in 1996 as a non-profit corporation, the Peekskill BID encompasses downtown’s Central Commercial District — a 25-block area home to national corporations, law firms, medical practices, non-profits, artists galleries and live/work studios, bustling restaurants and cafes, fitness studios, hi-tech design and soft-ware firms, and other specialty retailers. The BID is primarily funded each year by a special tax levy on downtown property and business owners to be used on activities that strengthen commerce downtown. All property and business owners within the Central Commercial District are members of the Peekskill BID, and the BID elects a Board of Directors to govern its activities and supervise the day-to-day management of the BID by a part-time Executive Director.

A Valley for all Seasons T o National Geographic, the Hudson Valley is a national treasure. To area residents, the Hudson Valley is a treasure for all seasons. To urban folks, well, they just call it “A Real City Break!” According to travelhudsonvalley.com, the Hudson Valley region stretches 150 miles from the end of Manhattan all the way to Albany. As a designated National Heritage Area, it is “steeped in history, natural beauty, culture and (has) a burgeoning food and farmer’s market scene.” Here, scenic attributes are in abundance – so much so that it was once the source of inspiration for a group of famous 19th Century painters called the “Hudson River School of Painters.” Once described by Lonelyplanet.com as the valley that’s “a real city break” for city dwellers, it’s no surprise that the Hudson Valley region is frequently listed on various Top 10 lists as one of the best destinations in the world. Perhaps that’s because fall, winter, spring or summer, there’s always plenty of things to see and do by land, air or sea. Land: hiking, biking, running or just strolling. Air: Birdwatching and stargazing. Sea: Kayaking, cruising, sailing, jet skiing and more. Starting with the legendary 2,000 mile long Appalachian Trail, photographers, hikers and tourists tout the area as one of the most scenic spots in the country. In addition, there are a number of creeks and marshes, and enthralling vantage points for panoramic views and glimpses of unique wildlife. The good news here is that, in recent years, the majestic bald eagle has made a comeback as an endangered species and now calls the mountainous terrain of the region home. Indeed, there are many valley festivals to celebrate that fact. No wonder bird watching, especially at Croton Point Park and Peekskill Riverfront Green, is an increasingly popular sport, anchored by an annual event known as EagleFest held in February at both aforementioned locations. Whatever your passion is and whether you have lived here for decades or are just discovering this national treasure for the first time, the valley is always fresh and new. To help you in your journey, here are some more specific information and details:

This nationally known gem of the Hudson Valley region offers every exhilarating outdoor attractions, they start to feel a great sense of pride type of recreational activity imaginable. According to www.nystateparks. not only for the beauty and wonder of the Hudson Valley Gateway region com, it is “situated in rugged mountains rising from the west bank of but, indeed, our country. That said, be sure to include a trip to the U.S. the Hudson River.” It features a large play field, shaded picnic groves, Military Academy at West Point, New York. According to its website (www. museums and a zoo, as well as lake and river fishing access, swimming, usma.edu), visitors may take a nominally priced guided bus tour of the hiking, biking, skiing, bird watching and even ice skating. But, you don’t Academy grounds departing from the West Point Visitors Center. Entrance have to work up a sweat to enjoy the famous park as Perkins Drive leads is allowed for business, for visiting staff, faculty and cadets who live on to the Perkins Memorial Tower. It rises more than 1,300 feet above the West Point, and for public events such as concerts, sporting events, cadet Hudson River and is a perfect spot to take a break, or photos, and just sit reviews and graduation. There’s a famous museum too. What better way back and be awe-inspired by the valley’s exquisite beauty. And, since one to end the day. day is not enough to do this park justice, lodging is available at the inn or Based on all of the above, anyone can see how extraordinary and in stone lodges. adventurous the Hudson Valley Gateway region can be. In fact, it’s one enchanted destination where five little words like “I’ve got nothing to do” Blue Mountain Reservation is particularly unique in that it is located are never heard. Have fun. Your Hudson Valley adventure awaits you. practically in the center of the City of Peekskill. It contains 1,538 acres. It, too, showcases miles of trails for all kinds of activities, including nature study. Two large peaks, Mt. Spitzenberg and Blue Mountain, look down upon its enthusiastic walkers, bikers, hikers and sightseers. And, although more of a local day trip destination, the reservation has its own lodge for group rental. It sleeps up to 30 people dormitory-style and comes complete with showers, a kitchen and a dining hall with a large fireplace which makes for an interesting family reunion or scout outing (914-231-4575).

The Briarcliff to Peekskill Trailway is accessible from the Blue Mountain trail system and those who have blazed this unpaved road claim that it is top notch for walking and hiking. Two comfort stations that are reminiscent of early 20th Century National Park structures are included on this trail. Other Hudson Valley parks abound (see below), especially Tea Town Reservation in Ossining, Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson and Muscoot Farm located in Somers. Muscoot is a departure from the other parks because its mission is “to preserve and interpret, for the public benefit, the agricultural, cultural and natural heritage of a Westchester county farm, circa 1880-1930.”

Woodbury Commons: There’s always the argument that shopping is a recreational sport in its own right, epecially when it’s accomplished outdoors at Woodbury Commons in Central Valley. In fact, people come here from all over the world as it is easily accessed from New York City via the NYS Thruway at exit 16, Harriman. Woodbury Common Premium Outlets features more than 200 outdoor stores featuring nationally known retailers. Folks literally clock miles walking around from one retail outlet to another but there’s rest and refreshment at its Market Hall located indoors.

Flea Markets: On a less formalized scale, however, tribute must be paid to those of us who say “what’s a Sunday drive without a little antiquing or flea marketing along the way?” These folks consider the great outdoors the perfect place for flexing those muscles too. So, yes, the Hudson Valley answers that clarion call as well. Peekskill, for one, is growing in popularity for its spring-through-early fall Sunday flea market in the downtown area of the city (on Saturdays, it’s the destination for a growing farmer’s market as well). But, further north, and according to Chronogram.com, there’s a whole world of treasure hunting going on including Stormville Airport Antique Show and Flea Market (now in its 42nd season and with 600 vendors), Beacon Flea Market (items range from furniture to vintage designer handbags and even retro cookware), Mower’s Flea Market (one block from Woodstock’s Village Green, now in its 36th season), Rinaldi’s Flea Market in Poughkeepsie (featuring furniture, tools, records, books and more) and Middletown Flea Market (said to be the valley’s largest indoor flea market).West Point:
