Timeline

  1. 17:24

    Janniello's Market

    Pick up a quick bite. Janniello's Market is open late enough on weekdays and weekends to grab a sandwich or a small meal to take with you. If it is a Sunday, note that they close at 15:00, so this step would not work then.

  2. 17:52

    Scarborough Park

    Walk 22 minutes to Scarborough Park. This small patch of green borders the Hudson River and offers gorgeous views across to the Palisades. It is one of the only riverside parts of Briarcliff, making it the perfect spot for the evening light.

    Scarborough Park

    Watch the sunset. On 15 October the sun sets toward the west at 18:14. The golden light begins around 17:37, so the sky will be bright and warm by the time you arrive.

  4. 18:34

    Hunan Garden

    End the evening with a warm meal at Hunan Garden. It is a 13-minute walk from the park. The restaurant is open until 22:30 on weekdays and Saturdays, or 21:30 on Sundays, giving you plenty of time to sit down for dinner after the view.

Local tip

Scarborough Park is small, so arrive early to secure a good spot on the benches or walkways facing the river.
