1. Capitol Theatre

Can't really begin to say how wonderful this theater is for live music. Spacious seating, good lighting and absolutely spectacular sound. Only negative comment is a timing issue-if there's an opening act-it would be nice to have that clearly advertised particularly if the main act won't come on for almost an hour and a half past show time. I have a feeling it's probably standard procedure for this venue but it's something a first timer wouldn't be necessarily be aware of and would like to know. That aside, I can guarantee that one concert here will keep you coming back for more!!!
2. Playland Park

The park itself is very cute and has a lot of original and unique rides. Loved the old fashioned feel of the place but all the staff need to help retrained on customer service. Most were just plain rude and most were very uninterested in doing their jobs. It put a damper on the whole visit. Only one staff member on the dragon coaster was actually pleasant.
The food service also needs to revisit their policy and giving out water. Every theme park I have ever been to and since I'm a coaster enthusiast I have been to a lot, you my get a cup of water from the food stands. Not here. One staff member told us that they don't have water on their soda fountain, blatant lie as I could see the white tab that you use to get water.
Saw two staff members actually get into a fight. The male punched the girl in the face and took her phone and threw it into a restricted area. They were cursing and yelling at each other for a good 10 minutes and security was no where to be found.
Sadly will not return due to rude and Unenergized staff. Shame really as the park is great.

Manor park is a beautiful park in Larchmont on the water, with breathtaking view. In the summer the kids love to run up and down the rocks, or just simply sit there and enjoy the view. You can not picnic in the park, and must have your dog on the leash at all times.

Driving by Harbor Island Park, I was taken in by the beautiful view of the harbor with its boats. There are places for sporting events, walking trails, and a sandy beach. There is a charge for parking in the summer.

Explore Art and Science at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut.The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm; closed Mondays and major holidays. Closing at 3 pm the eve before Christmas and New Year's Day.
Reviewed By GettinOn - New York, NY
The Bruce is a modest museum over all, and it is subdivided to provide space for two or three adult art exhibitions, a natural history section, and children's attraction spaces.
Rather than being a smorgasbord of not-quite satisfying morsels, however, the site is consistently delightful with bite-sized showcases and at least one or two mind-filling courses.
Examples will vary. We've visited to view drawings of big cats, many featured on Hermes scarves; African American quilts; Paris paintings featuring the city during its period of public lighting improvements; and most recently the current exhibition of Toulouse-Lautrec works on loan from the Herakleidon Museum.
Regardless of the specific current draw, there is large single room devoted to an interesting lesser-known artist - and a number of dinosaur-related enticements for youngsters. During warm weather, the grounds offer picnic possibilities amid prehistoric beast sculptures.
In short, this is a fun place for adults, kids and families.

Pepsi was one of the few corporations to seriously invest in modern sculpture, and the result is this impressive collection.
Reviewed By Mark W
In its intelligent selection of Twentieth Century sculpture, the PepsiCo Corporate campus offers an overview of the century's variety of sculpture. Regardless of the time you allot to your visit, you can experience the sweep of the century's sculpture. Ideally speaking, there should be accoustaguides for rent, so that the visitor can deepen his or her knowledge of the sculpture and the sculptors who created these magnificent pieces. Maybe in the future, but not yet.

Walk through the woods or take the path bordering the open field, and you'll feel as though you're in a primeval forest. Most visitors choose to begin their visit following the woodland path, past felled trees where squirrels play and woodpeckers flirt. The path most travelled leads out to the field path. Turn left, and it descends to the marshes and, a little farther on, to a beach with shells and seaweed. Woods, fields, marsh and beach: a little patch of the primeval in suburban Rye.
Remember that poison ivy tends to grow freely in settings such as these. Know how to spot the shiny three leaves, and wear socks.

Greenwich's main street is filled with upscale shops and restaurants.
Reviewed By VTwelltravelled - Middlebury, Vermont
I grew up nearby but hadn't been back in a few years - lots of nice boutiques have been added including stores like Velvet. In short, Saks is still there, many fine jewelry stores and high end boutiques that make this a fun/fancy place to shop or just walk up and down. Also fun to car spot as the avenue doubles as a Porsche/Range Rover parking lot so you don't have to go to a dealership to see every exotic car in existence!! That part has changed since I was a kid!
