Spring’s Most Stylish Weekend
635 South Broadway
Tarrytown, NY
When Artrider rolls into Lyndhurst, you don’t just go—you show up. This is way more than a craft fair. It’s a weekend-long celebration of creativity, style, and community, unfolding on the stunning riverfront lawn of one of the Hudson Valley’s most iconic historic estates. From May 2–4, more than 200 of the country’s most talented artists and makers transform the grounds into a vibrant open-air gallery filled with everything from hand-thrown pottery and modern jewelry to whimsical home decor and wearable art.
But the shopping? That’s just the beginning. Think live music echoing across the lawn, gourmet eats and craft cocktails served up by local favorites, and interactive demos that give you a peek into the magic behind the handmade. Whether you're hunting for that perfect Mother’s Day gift or treating yourself to something extra special, it’s a choose-your-own-adventure kind of day. You can grab a seat under a tree, sip something delicious, watch a blacksmith at work, and still have time to catch a sunset selfie with Lyndhurst’s Gothic mansion in the backdrop.
Twice a year, this fair redefines what it means to shop local. It’s fun, it’s full of surprises, and yes—once you go, you’ll count down the days until it comes back. So rally your friends, bring your best tote bags, and don’t be surprised if you leave with more than just a few treasures. This one’s a vibe, and it’s not to be missed.

Dobbs Ferry’s Waterfront Stunner That Always Hits Just Right
1 High St
Dobbs Ferry, Ny
Let’s talk about a restaurant that actually lives up to the hype. Half Moon in Dobbs Ferry isn’t just a place to eat—it’s an experience that starts with jaw-dropping views of the Hudson River and ends with you plotting your return before dessert even hits the table. Right on the water, this spot blends relaxed, coastal vibes with that sleek, Westchester polish. It’s like Montauk energy, without the drive.
The space is pure eye candy—floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor patios, and front-row seats to epic sunsets over the Palisades. In the warmer months, the South Patio Bar is the move for cocktail hour, and the indoor dining room keeps it cozy without sacrificing a single river view.
Now let’s get to the food, because wow. This menu’s bringing the ocean to your plate—with fresh Montauk seafood, juicy steaks, a raw bar that slaps, and a Montauk clam bake that’s basically a mic drop in a bowl. And yes, their lobster roll deserves a fan club. It’s unfussy, flavorful, and totally unforgettable.
Whether you’re heading there for date night, brunch with your crew, or a waterfront celebration, Half Moon is the kind of place that makes everything feel like a special occasion. And if you're looking for a party spot with a view? They host private events, too—big or small, riverside style.
Long story short: this isn’t just one of the best restaurants in Dobbs Ferry—it’s one of the best in New York. Period.
Giveaway Prize:
3 course lunch or dinner for 2 plus a bottle of wine. Prize value is $250.

Tarrytown’s Crown Jewel of Flavor and Style
49 E Sunnyside Ln
Tarrytown, NY
Goosefeather isn’t just one of the most talked-about restaurants in the Hudson Valley—it’s a full-blown experience. Tucked into the historic King Mansion at Tarrytown House Estate, this MICHELIN-recognized stunner is where Chef Dale Talde brings modern Cantonese flavor to life in the boldest, most unforgettable way.
The food? Fire. We're talking kung pao wings with a buttermilk ranch twist, crispy shrimp bao that melts in your mouth, and a mochi waffle brunch that deserves its own fan club. It’s playful, creative, and packed with flavor—but never fussy. Every bite tells a story, and the plot twist is always delicious.
Inside, the vibe is moody and magnetic—vintage mansion bones meet sleek, artistic flair. You’ll dine beneath dreamy murals, sip craft cocktails by glowing fire pits, and feel like you just discovered your new favorite place before the first course is even over.
Whether you're posted up for a date night, rolling deep for a group celebration, or brunching like a boss, Goosefeather delivers style, soul, and a culinary punch that leaves a lasting impression. This is not your average night out—it’s next-level dining that feels both elevated and effortless.

Classic Charm with a Whole New Glow
49 E Sunnyside Ln,
Tarrytown, NY
Tarrytown House Estate isn’t your average hotel—it’s a Hudson Valley icon that brings serious wow-factor to every stay. Sitting pretty on 26 scenic acres above the river, this place mixes timeless elegance with just the right dose of modern edge. Think historic mansions, sunset views, and a property so photogenic you’ll wonder if you accidentally walked into a movie set.
From the moment you check in, the vibe is relaxed luxury. Georgian-style suites, cozy fireplaces, and garden paths that practically beg for golden hour strolls—it’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and settle in. Add in a seasonal pool, fire pit hangs, and gorgeous gathering spaces, and it’s easy to see why this estate is a favorite for weddings, retreats, and weekend escapes.
And let’s not forget Goosefeather—the on-site restaurant that’s rewriting the playbook on modern Cantonese dining. It’s bold, stylish, and ridiculously good, making your stay feel more like a full-on experience than a night away.
Bottom line: whether you’re here to relax, celebrate, or just take in the view, Tarrytown House Estate delivers something unforgettable every time.

Tarrytown’s Waterfront Vibe Queen
If you’re the kind of person who picks a restaurant based on the view and the vibe, The Sailhouse is about to be your new obsession. Perched on the Hudson with the Mario Cuomo Bridge stretching across the horizon, this spot delivers elevated coastal energy and an atmosphere that’s straight-up transportive.
Designed to make the view part of the experience, every corner of The Sailhouse is intentional. Think hand-wrapped basket weave bar stools, rattan light fixtures, and a back bar styled like a bookcase for a playful, lived-in touch. Delft tiles featuring traditional ship imagery nod to the area’s Dutch roots, and the tile-framed fireplace anchors the entire space—adding warmth, charm, and a quiet sense of history to the room.
But this isn’t just a pretty place to post up. The food absolutely delivers—spicy rigatoni that slaps, buttery lobster ravioli, crispy crab cakes, and cocktails that deserve their own photoshoot. Brunch is a whole mood, dinner is a vibe, and even a casual weekday meal feels like a mini getaway.
The energy? Laid-back but lively, with sunset martinis, trivia nights, live music, and a staff that makes you feel like a local even if it’s your first time. It’s polished without being pretentious, playful without trying too hard.
The Sailhouse isn’t trying to impress—it just does. Come for the view, stay for the fire menu, and leave already planning your next night out.
