3. Letchworth Village

This is one of the greatest attractions of this part of NY state and a true "must see'' location. Going to Letchworth Village feels like a surreal adventure from a fantastic movie set. Former 1911 asylum for mentally and physically sick of all ages stands abandoned since 1996. The area is huge and fascinating. It is completely legal to enter and the city maintains it as a safe favorite place for dog walkers. Parking is available and there is no cost to enter.
At its peak Letchworth Village consisted of over 130 buildings spread out over many acres of land. Many of these buildings are ghostly now, some are in disrepair but many still have signs of former glory. The Village was styled architecturally after Monticello. Among its most prominent buildings is former Boys Dormitory. Lechworth Village is know to be a haunted place and subject of many urban legends. It is a place where reports of horrific treatment of patients and abuses of staff surfaced over the decades. There is also extensive documentation pertaining to experimentation on humans residing in this facility. A better example of it is introduction of live-virus then experimental polio vaccine first administered here to a mentally retarded boy. Local cemetery has now a monument to "those who shall not be forgotten" as for years the subjects buried here were known only as numbers and not by their names.
We met some urban explorers here and some local dog owners.
The area is truly amazing and a great photo opportunity location. We ended up here also due to its geological uniqueness as it is a place where geological faults are nearby.
Locally there seem to be "haunted tours" and "ghost adventures" which take place here.

The park contains two small mountains, and is closed for much of the year.
However the Long Path goes through it and directions for parking, etc can be found on the website of the New York – New Jersey Trail Conference.
In addition to hiking, swimming and picknicking are available in season.
The park is traversed by a 3.5-mile section of the Long Path. In addition, a woods road leads north from the parking lot to cross the Long Path along the ridge top and continues north to the top of the promontory known as Little Tor.
There are good views of the Hudson River and from a couple of vantage points New York City. This winter day, the views were splendid.
6. The Stony Point Battlefield Lighthouse

Oldest lighthouse on the Hudson and only preserved Revolutionary War battleground in the lower Hudson Valley.
Reviewed By Steve T - Sayville, New York
History has a way of sometimes glorifying certain aspects (Battle of Yorktown, Valley Forge), which are very important factors in the battle of Independence, but somehow other areas without “trendy or fashionable”names are overlooked (Setauket, Battle of Long Island or Stoney Point). We visited Stoney Point on July 16, which was the 237th anniversary of the Continental Army retaking this fort. The story is pretty much a afterthought of the Revolutionary War, but showed how after years of losses and missteps the Army pulled off a daring assault of a fort that the British occupied to control the Hudson River and was one of the last northern battle during the war. It actually is spotlighted in an episode of 'Turn'. Stony Point was also the west port of the Kings Ferry to Verplanck Point on the east port which British General Andre' used when transporting information from Benedict Arnold About West Point. The site just got a little more interesting now. The site is maintained by the New York Park service, which has a museum with factual information about the battle, 2 Short hiking trails and the Stony Point Lighthouse which is the the oldest Lighthouse on the Hudson River. Throughout the year the Park Service has displays and reenactments that relate to the Revolutionary Era.

Lucas Candies has been around since 1896! It is a Haverstraw Landmark. You must visit this chocolate shop if your travels take you to the village of Haverstraw.
The chocolate here is perfect.............aromatic, sweet, rich, decadent, delicious, and addicting.
They have been around for 120 years, so they must be doing something right! Go here for the quality of the chocolate and the excellent customer service!
8. Galaxy Lafayette Theatre

Reviewed By AJNJ44 - Lincoln Park, New Jersey
The Lafayette Theater is a good 40 minute drive from my home but a few times a year we make the trip because the place is unique, historic, and awesome. In a day of leather recliner power seats in luxury theaters some might have a problem with the 'old school' seating and ambiance. To those people I would say you're missing the point. Stepping through the doors at the Lafayette feels like stepping back in time - complete with Wurlitzer organ music on Friday and Saturday evenings. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. As the Lafayette starts to close in on 100 years I, for one, absolutely love feeling like a part of the nostalgia and history of the place.

The wine tasting was very nice. The staff did an excellent job presenting and explaining the wines. They explained the grapes, how they were preserved and what was in the wines. There were quite a few that I enjoyed. Not too far from NYC. There was a line band. As we walked in they were playing the Doobie Brothers. Fun. The server was less attentive but the outdoor setting overlooking the vineyards was very nice.
