This Legendary Halloween Destination Is Just 30 Miles From NYC-With Spooky Events and Vibrant Foliage Every Fall

"Less than 30 miles from Midtown Manhattan is the quaint village of Sleepy Hollow in New York's Westchester County. Each fall, the otherwise unassuming destination, which has a population of about 11,000, lures in throngs of travelers looking for thrills and hauntings. What's more, the dynamic village is renowned for its rich history and deep-rooted connection to Washington Irving's 1820 tale, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.""

"The Sleepy Hollow Hotel is one of the village's very few hotels. The property spans 11 acres of grassy, tree-lined grounds. When guests aren't out and about exploring, they can be found swimming in the lap pool, relaxing in the sauna, or digging into breakfast staples like omelets and fresh-baked pastries at the charming Hudson Bistro restaurant. A few minutes down the road in nearby Tarrytown, travelers can choose from historic hotels with castle-like exteriors, like the Tarrytown House Estate."
