Yonkers

The fourth-largest city in New York is Yonkers, which is also one of the greatest. Yonkers is a city in New York State, United States. It has many popular attractions, including the Hudson River Museum, Untermyer Gardens, and Center for the Urban River at Beczak, making it well worth a visit.

This New York City neighbor, which is located on the east side of the Hudson River, is a haven for travelers who work in Manhattan. Yonkers gives its residents (and visitors) views of the river and Palisades that are so breathtaking that they have served as the inspiration for numerous works of art. Ella Fitzgerald, Jon Voight, W.C. Handy, and Mary J. Blige were some of its more notable residents. Here, in 1853, Elisha Otis created the first "safety" elevator. The Untermyer Gardens Conservancy and Hudson River Museum are two of the city's must-see tourist attractions (the Walled Garden is particularly stunning, as are the Temple of Love and the Greek-inspired amphitheater).
