Also- any good places to eat?  I like anything.... prefer cheap to medium eats.

FDR and Eleanor's homes ?

I think FDR's house is 30+ miles north in Hyde Park.

The is the county run range - Blue Mountain Sportsman Center, but you might need a pick me up after you go there, due to the very restrictive shooting rules.

There is also a (private) trap/skeet club...maybe one of our members here is a member there, in Chappaqua...it is called the Mt. Pleasant Sportsman Shooting Club.

Yeah I have been to the FDR museum, it's a bit North of the area I will be working in.

I wasn't planning on going to do any actual shooting... didn't bring any guns (hmm, there's still time to pack something)

Downtown White Plains has had a rebirth in the last 4-5 years. . .there are several bar/grills along Mamaroneck Ave that seem to have quite a scene if you're single. . . even if you aren't there are some places that have a nice beer selection. . .



There is a big-ass movie multiplex down at the northern end of Mamaroneck Ave as well. . . .as far as stores go, there is very good REI over in Yonkers––google it. . . new shopping center up on top of a big rocky outcropping adjacent to I-87. . they rape you on parking though. . .like a minimum of $3. . .



You could come down to Mamaroneck itself. . . there are a bunch of very good restaurants on the downtown main ave––-Mamaroneck Ave––yeah, it's the same road––-goes all the way up into WP. . .SmashBurger, (just opened, affordable family place,  very good burgers AND they have beer!) Molly Spillanes (very fun place––bar/grill), Franky and Fanucci's (thin crust pizza is very good). . . free parking after 6pm. . cool little town, they don't allow any tall buildings downtown, so the main business district kinda looks like a little town out west from the 50's. . .diagonal parking and all. . .


 

Excellent choice. The Ossining/WP area sucks donkey balls.



If you have some extra free time you might want to check out the Sing-Sing Prison Museum exhibit at the community center. I would call first though. Disclaimer: I've never been there.








 

Thanks guys; adding these to the list.

Maybe you meant FDR park in Yorktown Heights?

Stopped at;

Harriman Army-Navy
186 Rt 17M
Harriman, NY 10926

It was pretty much a disappointment.  They do have a decent tactical flashlight section and a wide range of holsters but prices are high and no other firearms stuff to speak of.

grab some grub at Westchester Burger Co. in White Plains. If I go out to eat, i've got to be really impressed with a burger... these burgers impress the fuck out of me.

Take the Bronx River Pkwy down to Arthur Ave near the zoo. Get some cannolis.

davis sports shop in sloatsburg

Dick's in white plains

army/navy store in pearl river, theres also the firing line shooting range in that area

if you havent been to ridge hill in yonkers, thes an REI and dicks there too, but no guns

we shoot USPSA in the blue mountain sportsman center every second sunday (which just passed) the next one will be Dec 9, and then we move to action pistol in coyne park's shooting range in yonkers

hmm watch the cars rust and natives get upset when they don't get there free hand outs from the chosen one since he wants to whack us for 1.6 Trillion.

if you go here, eat at lefteris on the corner. lefteris platter if you are hungry, gyro platter if not so hungry. excellent salad and other choices

Turns out there are two army/navy stores in Pearl River:  Mel's, which I found pretty boring (just clothing) and Central, which had promise but I didn't find too much there to buy.  Prices were a little high as well.

The West Point museum was great though

Take the metro north to grand central if you're bored. It's about 30 minutes.

Fastest peak train from Ossining > GCS is 43 min. Regular train is 55min-1hr



 

Thought it was Hyde Park.   ( ? )

Yes, addressed previously.
