center scattered with parks, steeped in history, and abounding in culture and
entertainment. All of this and just 2 mi (3.2 km) north of Manhattan's
upper reaches. When the world's first elevator factory set up on Yonkers' riverbank

mix of distinct neighborhoods and strong Irish-American, Italian-American and
Hispanic communities. Visitors can can get around this hilly hub via Yonkers'
excellent public transit system to explore varied attractions, including must-see
historical spots like Philipse
Manor Hall–Yonkers' oldest building (1692)–and the impressive Hudson
River Museum, which also features a planetarium and the 1876 Glenview Mansion.
Both the sprawling Tibbetts
Brook Park and Bronx
River Parkway Reservation are popular destinations for outdoor recreation,
while shopaholics shouldn't miss the county's biggest mall, Cross
County Shopping Center. Fast-paced excitement awaits at Yonkers
Raceway and Empire
City Gaming, and the whole family will enjoy popular annual festivities such
