So, thanks all.
When it came to it we still hadn't made much of a decision even on the morning we picked up the car (which took forever, I hate rental desks). West Point didn't appeal to my other half.
Therefore I paid for a navigation unit and hoped for the best. We'd seen Sleepy Hollow, by the Hudson River on the map so thought that would be good to go to (because they named a film after it). A mistake. There was nothing there.
So we went to Pleasantville up the road instead, because of the name (we are real suckers). It was better, it had a 7/11 and a Dunkin' Donuts. You'll probably think it's stupid but going to a 7/11 was a novelty. You guys have large crisp ('potato chip') packets. Dunkin' Donuts is a bit expensive though.
Then we managed to point up Bear State mountain (via a Bay with a nice view and a large car park) and I got to enjoy taking the Town Car up some windy mountain roads which I loved. At that point we crossed a bridge and headed back down the west side. The smaller roads got boring so I pointed to the interstate, I-95 I think. Oh and we got stung for $8 toll for the pleasure of about 1 mile on one of the interstates just North of the Bronx - what's all that about?
Did 150 miles in total - enough to see enough and experience the car but sorry if I didn't take in the best sights. I enjoyed it though!
I think that's all, I don't really have any interesting pictures for you. Loved the trip though.... really good.
