"Commissioner Thomas Foley of the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) announced today that the agency’s recent project to improve safety and access at the entrance of Wave Hill, a public garden and cultural center in the Bronx, has been recognized with a Merit Award from the Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) as part of its 2023 SARA California Design Awards."

"Take a stroll through the city’s gardens, hidden oases of flora to amaze and engage year round. Many of the gardens include sensory sections to engage the smallest visitors (and parents will enjoy them, too!) and various themed activities and crafts. Our garden recommendations are the Botanical Gardens in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, Snug Harbor in Staten Island, and Wave Hill in the Bronx."

"If you're in the mood for quick trips to the Bronx and the Yankees aren't in town, look no further than this flowering waterfront oasis for an uptown borough getaway. Wave Hill, a 28-acre estate on the banks of the Hudson River in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, contains pristine gardens, two historic houses (both Teddy Roosevelt and Mark Twain have lived there) and a cultural center."

"Keep warm in NYC’s parks this Valentine’s Day by cuddling up with your sweetheart in some of our favorite romantic spots. Have a dinner reservation? Set the tone by watching the sun set over Manhattan at Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn, or the Palisades at Wave Hill in the Bronx."

"Learn about the diverse wildlife of Conifer Slope on this winter nature walk. Children ages 6 to 10 are welcome, accompanied by an adult. The Wildlife Winter Tracks Workshop is free with the cost of admission to the grounds and is part of Wave Hill’s Hibernators Weekend."

"With its celebrated grounds and scenic views, the 28-acre estate offers a romantic setting for an unforgettable wedding. Exchange vows under the lushly planted Pergola overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades, celebrate your first dance in historic Armor Hall at Wave Hill House and photograph your wedding party by the Aquatic Garden, Armor Hall welcomes up to 130 guests with room for a small band and dance floor, wavehill.org"

"Inspired by King’s visit to Gee’s Bend, Ala., quilting returns to Wave Hill garden and cultural center in the Bronx, as a part of its weekly family art project. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Jan. 14, children and adults can learn about shapes and colors as they patch together fabric cutouts and personalize their quilts, influenced by the Freedom Quilting Bee community led by Black women in Gee’s Bend in the 1960s, who shared quilt-making techniques across generations."

"If you want an authentic New York experience, this overlooked borough might be your best bet. Sports fans can root, root, root for the Yankees, who play their home games in a South Bronx stadium. Lovers of the great outdoors can’t go wrong with a visit to the New York Botanical Garden or the smaller, but underrated Wave Hill."

"A year-round destination with stunning views of the Hudson River and Palisades, Wave Hill is an extraordinary venue located just 30 minutes north of Manhattan. Due to the serene beauty of its celebrated gardens, along with its modern amenities, Wave Hill is an ideal location for your conference, corporate retreat or full-garden rental."
