NYC MUST DO: 2014 MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL
By: Team Hermann, Licensed Real Estate Salesteam at Halstead Property’s Washington Heights Office.
Hear ye, hear ye, all hail the 2014 Medieval Festival in Fort Tryon Park
Every autumn, the scenic hills and dales of Fort Tryon Park in Northern Manhattan are transformed into a Medieval Kingdom, complete with a cast of kings and queens, jousters and jesters, and even a castle. This year’s Medieval Festival at Fort Tryon Park is on September 28th, from 11:30AM to 6PM.
It includes medieval music, dance, crafts, drama, comedy, puppets and games for all the members of your royal family. It’s a great opportunity to visit the park that is already a favorite destination for all New York City residents, particularly those interested in the period art and architecture that is The Cloisters. Within it’s authentic halls, you can see a suit of armor and period tapestries that depict the life and times of the people in Medieval Europe, then return to the Festival and enjoy live tournaments with knights, horses and carriages.
The park offers a lovely backdrop for a picnic over looking the scenic Hudson River and the majestic Palisades, and there is always the Royal Food Court at the festival. You might also consider a short stroll to the heart of Hudson Heights, to try one of a variety of restaurants along 187th Street or Fort Washington Avenue. My personal favorite is Rusty Mackerel, just off 187th St. on Pinehurst Ave. (A reservation is recommended.) Finally, after a regal repast, and if you are considering looking for a castle of your very own, you can visit us, Team Hermann, at the Halstead Property Washington Heights office located at 819 West 187th Street.
Be, then, my lords and ladies, till the Festival.
