Tips for Yonkers
- Metro-North Hudson Line trains run from Grand Central Terminal to Yonkers station, a short walk from Getty Square and the waterfront.
- The Ethan Flagg House is a private building on North Broadway, seen from the street rather than visited inside.
- Untermyer Park is on North Broadway about 3 km north of Getty Square; buses run along Broadway, or it is a short drive.
- Untermyer Gardens is free to enter; wear good shoes for the steep paths down to the Temple of Love and the woodland Vista.
- The Yonkers waterfront esplanade and pier by the station give wide views of the Hudson and the Palisades, best at sunset.
