Untermyer Gardens is one of the most beautiful hidden gems in the New York area. The grounds are…read morealways stunning, but they're especially spectacular in September when everything is in full bloom and the gardens are filled with vibrant colors. Admission is completely free, although donations are accepted to help preserve this incredible place--which is amazing considering how well maintained it is. It's the perfect destination to spend about two hours, whether you want to enjoy a peaceful stroll, take plenty of photos, or do a little of both. The breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades make the visit even more memorable. There's also plenty of free parking, which makes getting there easy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that it can get fairly crowded on beautiful weekends, but it's absolutely worth visiting and returning to throughout the year.

Parking fills up quickly. They have an overflow lot a few blocks away, but it's an uphill walk to get back to the park. It's a great place to have a picnic. Lots of families and kids. We ate lunch at the cafe, but weren't super impressed by the food. The chipotle chickpeas were bland. The paper menus also didn't match what was actually available at the register. The line to order was quite long, but the wait for the food wasn't the worst. They had lots of seating indoors and a nice outdoor patio with more tables. We walked a few of the trails. Most were unpaved. We managed fine with a stroller, but the paths were a bit rocky. To see several sections, you need to climb stairs so a stroller was not the most convenient. The view of the Hudson, from both the upper and lower terraces, is wonderful and great for taking pictures. It was spring so they had tulips in bloom. Their shady grove of trees was cool to check out. I also loved the upper gardens.

Free parking. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began acquiring private parcels in 1917 as part of his vision of developing a beautiful park with majestic views of the Hudson River and Palisades for the public. Rockefeller gifted the land to the City of New York in 1931, and construction began soon after. The park is about 70 acres in area. Decades after its creation, park goers can run or walk on the park's 8 miles of pathways, play on the lawns, and enjoy the city's largest garden with unrestricted public access, the Heather Garden. We saw tons of nice flower beds and blooming plants. Fort Tryon Park is home to the Cloisters (separate Yelp review), a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that houses nearly 5,000 medieval works in a building comprised of several structures from Europe. Fort Tryon Park is home to Manhattan's largest dog run, complete with a gazebo for dog owners to sit and socialize, as well as two playgrounds, volleyball courts, and built-in ping pong tables. The pristine views of the Hudson River make the park the perfect setting for exploring, meandering strolls, and picnics. The George Washington bridge can be seen from one of the vintage points. If you are in the area, check it out...it's located on the northern part of Manhattan close to the border with the Bronx on the NW corner of the island.

I ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich--both were delicious and especially comforting on a cold winter day. The café features fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from the organic Katchkie Farm in Kinderhook, NY, and you can really taste the quality. We sat in the indoor dining area and enjoyed fantastic views of the Hudson River and the New Jersey Palisades while we ate. The setting alone makes the experience special. The service was also welcoming and friendly. Located within Wave Hill's 28-acre public garden and cultural center in Riverdale, the café is surrounded by impeccably landscaped gardens, historic houses, and sweeping panoramic views from its ridge overlooking the Hudson. It's the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a meal, and take in the scenery. We've Hill gets its name from the way the land mimics rolling waves along the Hudson River. Definitely worth a visit!

The cafe has very cute tables situated inside, with plenty of light and open air from the windows. The cafe itself is a walk-up counter, with friendly faces ready to greet you and take your order. I got a hot chocolate and my friend got a hot tea. The hot chocolate was $3 and some change, and was very rich and creamy. I was asked if I wanted whipped cream on top, but I decided to skip it for the morning. The vibe inside is very chill and welcoming, and I loved hearing our voices echo off the ceiling of the place. Immaculately clean as well! Public bathrooms are in the basement behind the front desk.
