Armonk, NY —
There’s something for everyone of all ages

I’ve been living in the town of North Castle for over 25 years and Armonk, a hamlet in the town, is a wonderful place that we call home. Being a part of this small town has been a fabulous experience raising my family. One of the main reasons we moved here was the outstanding reputation of the award winning Byram Hills Public Schools. There are many other benefits when living in a small town like ours. You can walk to everything and there’s a great sense of pride in our community from the local shops to the several outstanding restaurants. I especially love walking through Armonk Square and stopping by the friendly Tazza Cafe for a delicious chai tea latte, or getting a quick bite for lunch at Armonk’s Country Kitchen... the turkey dumplings are still my daughter Crissyʼs favorite. And when it comes to dining, weʼve got that covered, with options in American, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and Indian cuisine. I adore the Chicken Vindaloo and Peshwari Naan at Indi-Q

There’s something for everyone of all ages - whether it’s hiking and bird watching in Betsy Sluder Nature Preserve or visiting the landmarked Smith’s Tavern which now serves as the North Castle Historical Society. It dates back to the late 18th century and was headquarters for the local militia during the Revolutionary War. It became our town's historical museum, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I remember bringing my kids on a school field trip many years ago where they experienced life in colonial times, from making butter to shearing sheep. So rich in history!

If you’re an avid skier or cyclist, you must stop in and visit Hickory & Tweed, a family-run business and premier ski and bike shop in the country. This charming red and white house situated on Main Street has been a staple in our town for almost 60 years!

As for parks, we have several to relax and enjoy whether youʼre into sports, picnics, or fun playgrounds. Wampus Brook Park with our Gazebo bandstand and tranquil brook, Winkler Park, John Lombardi Park and North Castle Community Park, just to name a few. As for our seasonal annual festivities we have the Armonk Lions Club Fol-de-Rol held every June at the Wampus Community Park. This fundraising event consists of rides, a pet and car parade, games, craft and food vendors, entertainment, animals, and much more. Definitely a fun-filled time for the kids and adults as well. In September, we have the renowned Armonk Outdoor Art Show, ranked #2 Best Fine Art & Design Show in the nation! Run by community volunteers, this juried show is sponsored by the Friends of the North Castle Public Library and the proceeds benefit the North Castle Public Library and Whippoorwill Hall Theater. I can’t believe we will be celebrating our 58th year. Each time I attend, I love to buy something that is truly unique and memorable: a painting, sculpture or jewelry to clothing, accessories or decoratively hand-painted wooden bowls.

Finally to kick off the winter holiday season Armonk hosts Frosty Day. This event is held in honor of the famous winter song “Frosty The Snowman” written in 1950 by Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson. Nelson lived in Armonk during that time and many believed that the town served as his inspiration for the song. Our beloved Frosty Day is filled with many activities such as face painting, cookie and ornament decorating, live music performances and train rides. Ending this extraordinary day is the parade on Main Street followed by the tree lighting ceremony. Itʼs such a magical experience for all to enjoy.

"Like the song goes in “Cheers”, itʼs truly a special place “where everybody knows your name and youʼre always glad you came.”"

Iʼve been a huge fan of the TV show “The Gilmore Girls” and for me, Armonk is definitely my Stars Hollow. Like the song goes in “Cheers”, itʼs truly a special place “where everybody knows your name and youʼre always glad you came.”
