10 Reasons Spring in Westchester is Heaven

 

Though the forecast calls for snow on the first few days of Spring in Westchester it won’t be long before the?flowers bloom and weather permits us to play outside. And when that time comes, some spots in Westchester feel like paradise.

Here are 10 reasons why Spring in Westchester is heaven:

1.) Because as soon as the ground thaws, ?Rockwood is the first place you head to for your long-awaited you-time with nature.

You’ve been waiting for months?to spoon with a tree.

2.) Because you can get?BOGO sundaes at Carvel, one of the early places to start buy-on-get-one sales, and decide whether to bring a friend with you.

3.) Riding?your bike in the middle of the Bronx River Parkway on Bike Sundays.
