Armonk
About the area
The hamlet of Armonk has about 4,800 residents within its 6.1 square miles of rolling hills, roughly 39 miles from Manhattan. The large blue eagle at the intersection of Routes 22 and 128 directs visitors to the retail hub of Main Street, with stores like Hickory and Tweed, a ski and bicycle shop; Schriefer’s Delicatessen, where photographs of old Armonk line a wall; and Beascakes Bakery, a local favorite for doughnuts. Armonk Square off Main Street is an inviting place to stroll, with options for a snack or a meal. The Friends of the North Castle Public Library sponsor free productions by the Armonk Players, a community theater group, as well as the annual Armonk Outdoor Art Show. Playing fields, tennis courts and playgrounds can be found at North Castle Community Park and John A. Lombardi Park. Summer concerts take place at Wampus Brook Park, at Maple Avenue and Bedford Road.
