Visiting Washington Irving and the Headless Horseman at Sleepy Hollow

It has become somewhat of an annual pilgrimage up to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery on Halloween.  And just 25 miles north of the city, it’s an easy morning or afternoon activity.  Also, since New Yorker’s love Halloween, you can make this trip and still be back into the city by the evening for ghoulish (i.e drunken debaucherous) pursuits.

Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum

Located in Washington Heights right off the 1 train on 153rd st., Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum is worth the trip.  Plan on spending 1-2 hours to walk the grounds and look for some of NYC past famous residents.  Also,  while you are exploring try and find the plaque that marks this place as one of the battlegrounds of the Revolutionary War.
