Sleepy Hollow Tarrytown Chamber of Commerce

SIX stars! one of the most spookiest places on the spookiest of days. Although maybe the scariest thing about this place now is the tax base!
I will say this area isn’t loony like Salem mass is this time of the calendar, but it is home to one of my favorite hotels! Thanks zoning commission!
So yeah, this is the home of the headless horseman and the street signs are black and orange! You would think Richard Christie comes here tonight, but maybe not, have a pumpkin ale and watch your neck!
BOO!

We noticed during a generic search for a Chamber of Commerce that the Sleepy Hollow/​Tarrytown Chamber of Commerce is the only one of the «top ten» who had engaging pictures and a self-​generated description of itself. Kudos for paying attention to the «social» in social media. Your brethren could do well to follow your example.

I have been visiting Sleepy Hollow since I was a child. I would come from South Africa to visit friends and family that live in the area. I have been visiting this area since before the name change of the Town. Before the name change ‘Sleepy Hollow’ was known as North Tarrytown. My Mother used to read ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ on the long plane ride from South Africa to New York to show me the power of fear that we can create in our heads. I would think nothing of the story until my Mother would ask me to go to the store only a few blocks away when it was just getting dark out.
The residents voted in 1996 to change the name from North Tarrytown to Sleepy Hollow to honor Washington Irving’s story ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.’ Before the name was changed everyone in the area called it ‘Sleepy Hollow.’ I think this is was a smart move with because shortly after the name change a movie was made by Tim Burton named ‘Sleepy Hollow’ following the story of the Headless Horseman which brought in a HUGE amount of tourism.
Sleepy Hollow is a village in the town of Mount Pleasant in Westchester County, New York. It is located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, about 30 miles north of midtown Manhattan in New York City.
Sleepy Hollow is a quaint little town that has yet to be affected by the BIG City only a few miles away. The town of Sleepy Hollow gets a strong breeze off of the Hudson River at night which keeps it nice and cool during the summer months. You still have your Mom & Pop shops and the feel of ‘Old Town’ America. If you find yourself in New York take the short train/​car ride to ‘Sleepy Hollow’ and support local businesses that are competing against the BIG box stores.
I love this area and look forward to my next visit=)
