Pocantico park is the largest park in Briarcliff Manor. This 70.9-acre site was acquired in 1948 and added to in 1963, 1964 and 1967. The park abuts the Pocantico River and is home to a large number of animals found in the region including the white tail deer. Some hiking trails are marked.

I’ve lived in Briarcliff Manor for 23 years and I can’t believe that I didn’t know that this park existed. It’s about an hours walk from my house. It’s a decent enough park to take the dog for a hour, hour and a half walk. When I went it had a few interesting fungi, and a couple of interesting rock foundations, but other than that there’s nothing particularly interesting to see.

With friends and family at Aji Limo, an excellent Peruvian restaurant in Ossining, NY which describes itself as follows:

Ají Limo is a tribute to the most traditional Peruvian cuisine,that of our houses, markets, carts, picanterías, huariques and cevicherías. But also a meeting of ways to fill with the Spanish,Italian, African, Chinese and Japanese influences that have been enriching and coexisting with Peruvian cuisine over the centuries. Welcome to our place, welcome to Peru!
