I am so sad that one of my favorite restaurants in Westchester, Striped Bass is going to be closed down for a couple of months.

Striped Bass was located on the Hudson and was badly damaged during Hurricane Sandy. I will be closed until March 1^st,2013.

This is very sad, as Striped Bass was closed for a couple of months last year while been renovated ( I am not sure if the prior renovations were due to Hurricane Irene).

I will be the first one inline on March 1^ST 2013.

New York Ghost Tours

New York Ghost Tours

It should come as no surprise that there are ghost tours in New York. After all, one of the world's best ghost stories is set in Sleepy Hollow, NY. If you don't know which one I'm referring to, you should be ashamed of yourself. It's the Legend of Sleepy Hollow of course. Washington Irving's recount of the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane. But you don't have to travel to upstate New York or Niagara Falls to chase ghosts. You'll also find them near New York City, appropriately referred to as the city that never sleeps. The Amityville Horror, portrayed in a 1977 book by Jay Anson and later a hit movie, happened in Long Island in 1974 and the house has been the subject of controversy related to paranormal phenomenon ever since. Time Magazine named it one of the Top 10 Haunted Places in the world.

I'll add more information about these ghost tours soon. You can expect to find the length of the tour, mode of movement from place to place, reservation information, ticket price, parking information, and dates of tours when I am done. I apologize for not having this information up already.

If you have taken one of the following tours, I hope you will consider adding a review of the tour using the comment box found at the bottom of this page. Your review will be posted and help future visitors determine whether the ghost tour is worth their time and money.

If you work for a ghost tour, please feel free to leave additional information for consumers as well.

Here are the New York ghost tours:
