    WATER VIEWS

    MANOR PARK

    Walk off lunch in Larchmont’s idyllic Manor Park…a peaceful, sparkling gem, nestled on the Sound at the end of Larchmont Avenue. Sit and gaze at the water from a shaded gazebo, while children climb on the sturdy rocks below and sailboats peacefully glide by in the distance.  If you’re not in love yet…  skip to the dessert section below.
