Briarcliff Manor Public Library
End your evening at the Briarcliff Manor Public Library. This Tudor Revival building was originally built as a train station in 1906. It is a quiet, historic spot to reflect on the day.
Local tip
Scarborough Park is about a 60-minute walk from the library. If you start eating at Dive Oyster House an hour before sunset, you will have time to stroll to the park and catch the view without rushing. Check the route if you need directions from downtown to the park.
