Mount Vernon, New York is Westchester’s most densely populated and culturally vibrant city — birthplace of Denzel Washington and Dick Van Dyke — offering a Revolutionary War landmark, beautiful lakeside parkland, and an extraordinarily diverse Gramatan Avenue dining scene.
St. Paul’s Church National Historic Site is one of the most significant and least-visited Revolutionary-era landmarks in the region. Willson’s Woods Park delivers wave pools, fishing, and beautiful lakeside trails through a park that generations call their summer haven.
For dining, The Bayou serves authentic Cajun frog legs and falling-off-the-bone ribs, and Tasty Budz delivers phenomenal jollof rice and fufu that devoted regulars dream about long after leaving.
