Cold Spring, NY --- in the station
Mt. Kisco NY, in the station
Pleasantville, NY, in the station.
You would be hard pressed to do any train watching from this next couple of places, but I'm going to point out the bar on the Vanderbilt Ave. balcony of GCT. AND --- just a few feet from it, off the same balcony, is the absolutely classiest watering hole in the neighborhood: The Campbell Apartment. Believe it or not this place acutally has a dress code!. And of course a few flights down from there is the Oyster Bar, famous for eating and drinking. After decades as a weekday-only establishment it is now open Saturdays.
Next to one of the stations ---- I think Hastings, is that right? --- on the lower end of the Hudson Line is The Chart House --- one of the national chain of that name. It's on the river side of the tracks and great for train and river watching.
The noted area restaurateur Peter Xaviar Kelly has just recently opened a new place on the Yonkers riverfront. I haven't seen it but I would guess it offers good train views too.
