Exploring Sleepy Hollow. A Great Fall and Halloween Themed Day Trip from NYC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I take a Metro-North train from New York City to spend a day in Sleepy Hollow, NY. The small town was made famous by author Washington Irving’s story of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” I first check out the historic Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse. Then I see the Old Dutch Church. Next, I explore the beautiful Sleepy Hollow Cemetery where Washington Irving is buried along with other notable individuals such as the Rockefellers and Andrew Carnegie. I also check out the famous Headless Horseman Bridge. Finally, I head to downtown Sleepy Hollow for lunch and check out the “Welcome to Sleepy Hollow” sign before heading back to NYC.

About Me:
I live in NYC and I’m about food, travel and work.
Trains, lighthouses, foliage and food... These are some of my favorite things!
Glad to hear it!
I loved living in Sleepy Hollow. Walking down to the waterfront was my favorite part.
I can see why. It's a beautiful place!
@@Jamesnu A lot of the river towns in Westchester are. It was a great place to grow up.
A very charming and picturesque area with a lot history. Great video and well done!
Thank you! Indeed, it was a beautiful town!
cemetery tour O_O !! It is somehow elegant.. with the cold weather.
Yeah, it really added to the whole experience!
Love your videos! I live in CT and am blown away about how much I don't know about all the great places you visit. Keep the UA-cams coming.
Thank you! I appreciate it! I definitely will!
Perfect flannel weather and location. Love the video.
Indeed! Thanks so much!
I visit Sleepy Hollow every Fall. I am glad you went.
Nice! It's such a neat place to visit!
I think it’s funny that Irving grew up in sleepy hallow for a short time as a kid and then moved to England but couldn’t keep that little town out of his mind, nor the folktale of the headless horseman. Now he’s propelled it into a world wide known American ghost story. It’s also poetic that he’s buried in the same graveyard as the horseman himself, rip to that poor soldier. 🎃💀🎃
Great point!
James, love your positivity. R.
Thank you! I always try to look at the best of things.
It’s Washington Irving not Irvine
Indeed. It makes me cringe hearing how I said it.
@@JamesnuI worried for a minute I have been pronouncing Washington Irving wrong for 59 years! 😅
@@barbarabee3834 Haha! Yeah, I clearly wasn't thinking.
@@Jamesnu 😊
🍁Beautiful video James Andrews! I love your charisma!! 🙂
Thank you so much!
So picturesque! I love the scenery. lol about the no fortune in cookie!
Yeah, it was beautiful! It was just my luck that I wouldn't get a fortune, lol.
Nice vlog of this historic town! My wife and I will be visiting there in a couple of weeks for the first time and we can't wait to explore! We are planning to visit some of the historic mansions as well, so if you have any suggestions, that would be great!
Thank you! Yeah, it's a wonderful place! That whole area along the Hudson River is beautiful and has a lot to offer, especially in Tarrytown. I wish I knew more about the area to give some better recommendations but I hope you enjoy your visit!
Thanks for making the video, it was nice to see the town again. I went last year exactly on this day today, saw some of the places you did, including that awesome sign and lighthouse. The highlight for me was the Lyndhurst Mansion and estate in nearby Tarrytown. I highly recommend visiting that place if you ever go back, it was amazing.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, if I had more time it definitely would've been a place I would've checked out, but next time though.
Sleepy Hollow used to be called North Tarrytown. Author Washington Irving’s home Sunnyside is in Irvington, NY. Some say it is haunted by the author himself. Tarrytown has some great places, like Flying Fingers yarn shop. Just look for the colorful sheep on Main Street. Elise is the owner and she sells allot of Manos Del Uruguay yarn. I will admit I do buy allot of yarn from stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn. But I like Manos Wool Classica. You can also take 1 subway train to 242 street Bronx. Then catch the Westchester 1T bus which goes straight to Tarrytown.
Thanks for sharing that history and information! I really enjoyed my visit and I'll definitely have to return someday.
Yeah, those "You will burn in hell" fortunes suck😂😂 nice video sir!
Haha! Thank you!
I wish someday I get to visit sleepy hallow too.
I hope that you get the chance!
That Chinese food looked amazing! I love egg rolls.
It was very satisfying after being so hungry.
Great Video. I live in the Lake George area and I’d love to take a trip down to see Sleepy Hollow!
Thank you! Sleepy Hollow is definitely worth a visit!
We stopped there on our way to Lake Placid last summer. It is beautiful and very neat. There’s a graveyard with tombstones over 250 years old. So much history.
That said, we took the Taconic Parkway to 87 from there. The Taconic is the scariest road I’ve ever driven on, and I’m not sure it’s close. I was terrified and my wife was so scared she closed her eyes to try to sleep.
Love your content! Such an underrated channel.
Thank you so much! That makes me happy to hear!
Um sonho de conhecer esse lugar lindo e interessante que deu até filme.
Thank you for watching!
Great production!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing. Curious - do you like the Tim Burton movie 'Sleepy Hollow'?
Thank you for watching! I think I liked the movie, but I only saw it once and it was a long time ago.
This was a great video! You just earned a new subscriber! Cheers!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
@@Jamesnu you deserve recognition for your hard work. It’s the least I can do
Only been to the hood in sleepy hollow, lmao .
Nice video! Which train line did you take from New York City and which stop do you get off? Trying to do this Halloween 2022 😃 🎃
Thank you! I took the Hudson Line train to the Philipse Manor stop. It's pretty easy to get to from NYC.
My family has plots there. I've never met them lol, but they were part of the family I came from. I'm a Garrett
It's definitely a gorgeous place.
New subbie!!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Ambateño? Noway Mexican. Ambato is a city located in Ecuador, my homeland.
Yeah, when I was editing this I didn't think so either and was going to put a notation indicating it, but unfortunately I forgot. I wish this place had a website or something, because there's just not a lot of info about the establishment.
@@Jamesnu great! I found info of this bakery on fb. There , I think u can send them a message ;) bakery from Ambato is highly appreciated here in Ecuador.
@@valeriabellettinijerves4308 Definitely! Thanks for the help!
I don't think you've complained enough about the cold...
Your vlog was humorous and entertaining. 😂 Are you a native Manhattanite? No offense but you radiate the slightly neurotic. Manhattan vibe. Lots of criticisms of everything and some sarcasm. 😂
I’ve been marathon watching Sleepy Hollow vlogs as I’m dying to visit in October; coming from Michigan.
Great vid.
Jenna
Thank you! I'm actually originally from Chicago, but live in NYC now. Yeah, Sleepy Hollow is such a neat place from its history, beauty and uniqueness. It's probably a nice place to visit regardless of the time of year, but October is certainly a special period.
@@Jamesnu awesome thanks
Good edited.
Thank you!!!
Great video . How much walking would say you did
Thank you! It's hard to say, but probably 2 to 3 miles.
Bro, you went to all the wrong places...why not hit Tarrytown, the OG Sleepy Hollow!? Lunch at Horsefeathers, walk the grounds of Sunnyside, Washington Irving's home where he wrote the story, and so much more!
There's only so much time in a day.
great video again! talking fashion: my "personal stylist" from outfittery (pretty sure you have them in the US, too) recommends flannels to me all the time. Problem: she doesn`t understand that i dont wear no other colours than black ( i know it is not a colour, but...) and dark blue :)
So... your flannel looks pretty dope. Are there any good places in NYC to shop fashion? Well, show us!
Thanks! Yeah I know exactly what you mean, black is the primary color in my wardrobe. There are definitely some great stores in NYC for clothing. The problem is most of them are expensive and I just instead by stuff from H and M, but hopefully in the future I can show some of those places off!
@@Jamesnu i would watch the freak out of that episode :) !!
@@borispeper6981 I'll try to do something like it in the future!
@@Jamesnu Cool! well and don`t forget the appartment tour, tho ;)) :P :)).
Just a joke. have an awesome day and take goodcare of yourself. thumbs up
@@borispeper6981 Thank you! I'm actually in the process of filming my apartment tour so there'll be a video soon.
Gateway flannel, lol..
Yeah, it was a good introduction to the world of flannel shirts for me. Haha!
Curious- what train did you take?
I believe it was the Hudson towards Croton-Harmon.
This is pretty cool. Do they give formal tours? Would love to visit.
Thanks! I think they might have tours in the cemetery, but I'm not positive. Sleepy Hollow is indeed a great place to explore!
@@Jamesnu 👍
I hate when I get a fortune cookie and the fortune tells me to burn in hell!
It's one of the worst fortunes!
Keep that south paw in check .....
If it's fall why are threre no fall coored trees?
Unfortunately the colors came late last year.
The local short day trip looks nice by watching UA-cam video 😂
Thank you! It was a fun and beautiful place!
No fortune in your cookie? So unfortunate!
Haha! Yeah, it happens.
I dont remember a lighthouse in sleepy Hollow ( Johnny Depp) am I loosing my memory?😂
Haha! It's a pretty nice site to see.
The movie didn’t show the fact that it’s so adjacent to the river
So Ambato is in Ecuador my friend, not Mexico. It'd be great if you can add a short caption correcting that... it may sound like too much to ask, but as Ecuadorians it is bit upsetting that Mexico is kind of the only latin country in everyone's minds :(
My message intends to be very respectful, to you and to Mexicans :)
Other than that, such a cool video, congratulations, really made me want to go some day. Respect to Washington Irving, and to you for this indirect tribute to his work.
Indeed. That's my fault. I wish I could easily correct it. Usually I research places before I go, but this was more of a spur of the moment thing and I made incorrect assumptions.
It's pronounced Andrew Car Nay Gie. Emphasis on middle syllable.
Indeed!
Would have been great but you keep changing pictures so fast on the important things like the signs and Irvings head stone. Viewers can't even finish reading them.. We are watching you eat but you never showed us the headless horseman statue...
@@lynnhatfield3715 Fair enough. I would just use the pause button in those instances.
That cafeteria is Ecuadorian, because in Ecuador there’s town call Ambato, thats why call sweet Ambateño bakery, learn before say something not everything in spanish is from mexico 🙄🙄🙄
Absolutely!
3:30
You show the local signage for one second!?
Do you think we search for "Sleepy Hallow" to look at your face? Whomever edited this video: Shame on you!
If you use the pause button you can look at the signage for more than one second.
Hi James,
I have sent you an email.
Hey Robbie, I just responded to your email.
