The mountain bike trail system at Graham Hills Park in Mount Pleasant, offers cyclists a day of fresh air and exercise in a wooded and natural environment. Graham Hills, a one-time Hamlet and station on the Putnam Railroad, takes its name from Dr. Isaac Gilbert Graham, a Revolutionary War army surgeon, who settled there circa 1785. The trails total about five miles in distance and are geared toward experienced riders. The route winds through the many diverse habitats of this beautiful 431-acre park. The trails are mostly single track, and can be used in both directions.
Welcome to St. John’s Episcopal Church. We are a warm, caring, and fun community primarily from Pleasantville, Hawthorne, Thornwood, and Valhalla who gather together for worship and service to Christ and our neighbors. Our membership is composed of converts from other denominations, those from mixed faith families; lifelong Episcopalians, new converts, and seekers.
Although we offer four distinctly different worship opportunities, we gather across generational lines many times during the year for combined worship service, social and fund-raising occasions. We have a vibrant church-school program, confirmation preparation for young adults, and adult education programs. Our team ministries provide members with an opportunity to serve the parish and community in many different ways. We hope you will visit us in person soon at one of our regular Sunday services.

Pace University Pace University was founded in 1906 by the Pace brothers as a business school for men and women who aspired to a better life. Pace Institute began its transformation into a modern university, with emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences, under Robert Pace 42 years later. With dynamic leadership and fiscally sound management, Pace has grown into one of the largest universities in New York State, with a multi-million dollar physical plant, an endowment of over $100 million and a reputation for excellent teaching and talented, ambitious graduates.
Pace is a comprehensive university with five schools and one college that offers a wide range of academic and professional programs for a large, diverse population of more than 13,000 students in for-credit programs, and in affiliated offerings. Through its Lubin School of Business, Pace continues to build its reputation for excellence in business education. The Lienhard School of Nursing, the School of Law, the School of Education and the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems are more recent responses to the needs of the New York City and Westchester communities for strong professional schools to prepare a well-educated workforce.
The University's decision in 1948 to develop a college of arts and sciences as both an autonomous academic unit and a foundation for the undergraduate core curriculum has strengthened and enriched the educational experience of Pace students and provided an ongoing source of intellectual enrichment to the University. The Dyson College of Arts and Sciences is central to the intellectual life of Pace, to shaping academic priorities, and to providing ethical, humanistic and scientific principles upon which lives and careers are founded.
Pace University draws strength from being a unified institution that offers students a choice of locations. From the quintessential urban experience of our three New York City sites, to the city of White Plains in Westchester, to the suburban/rural setting of Westchester's Pleasantville campus and Briarcliff location, each easily accessible location has its own distinctive atmosphere. Or, you can pursue your education through Pace University's Online learning community.

Pony Express is Westchester County's first all natural fast food restaurant. Pony Express is located at 30 Wheeler Avenue, Pleasantville NY 10570.
New York Times says: "Here is the fast food of the future. Serious, substantial freshly baked rolls come from the Good Bread Bakery in Port Chester. The fries, white or sweet potato, are cooked in oil without trans fats. Lots of fragrant herbs, especially dill, go into a dip based on low-fat yogurt, and thick vegetarian black-bean chili has just the right degree of spiciness. Delectable quesadillas ooze smothered Vidalia onions and Monterey Jack cheddar. Chopped salads, shrimp, chicken or Pickle-Licious pickles can be added to most items."
This tiny food shop has fewer than a dozen chairs, with additional seating outside in the warm months. Most patrons fax or phone in their takeout orders, as parking space can be difficult to find on this busy street. But curb-side service is available — a thoughtful touch, and the next best thing to a drive-through. Call when you arrive for a pickup, and your order will be brought out to your car.

Prospero Winery is located at 134 Marble Avenue, Pleasantville, NY 10570 in Westchester County.
Over thirty years ago, a young man left his home in the Abruzzi Region of central Italy. Tony Prospero arrived in New York with a dream of starting a successful family business with his father, Guido, and brother, Pasquale. They set-up a fruit and vegetable market in Pleasantville, New York, situated in the heart of Westchester County.
The market quickly became a profitable business, and Tony immediately envisioned expanding in order to include new lines of products. Prospero's began selling the finest California grapes, together with superb Italian winemaking equipment. While their family-run business was expanding steadily, the Prospero's were producing excellent homemade wine. They decided it was time that they shared their fine wine with the rest of the world. In 1997, Prospero Winery was founded in Paso Robles, on California's central coast, producing three wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel.
In 1998, Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Grenache Rose and a house blend were added. In 1999, a winery and tasting room were opened on the original site of Prospero's fruit and vegetable market in Pleasantville. The Prospero family produces exceptional wines made from the finest California grapes, and is dedicated to offering its customers high-quality products at exceptional prices.
