Nyack is a bustling river town village in Orangetown and Clarkstown featuring a multitude of indoor and outdoor entertainment and food options with a vibrant west-village downtown feel.
Beautiful
Nyack Beach State Park at
Hook Mountain is popular with walkers, bikers, and picnickers and serves as a link between
Rockland Lake State Park and Nyack central. There’s also
Nyack Memorial Park, which has a lovely little children’s playground. For shopping, the
Palisades Mall, one of the largest malls in the country, can entertain a whole family for hours.
For the culturally-inclined, the
Debra Weiss Dance Company provides both dance programs and classes, and the
Hopper House Art Center, the birthplace of the famed realist painter Edward Hopper, is a must-see, featuring outdoor jazz in the summer. No one with a good palette should miss
Didier Dumas Patisserie, a delightful little French bakery,
Wasabi, the best local Japanese fusion, or the Middle Eastern cuisine at the
Art Café. For more dining options and local activities, be sure to visit our
