Peekskill Shopping, Dining, Arts & Local Businesses
« Peekskill Real Estate & Local Guide
Peekskill has one of the region's more defined downtown business districts. The concentration of eateries, arts spaces and retailers is an important contrast to smaller Bear Mountain-area hamlets.
Main Street, Division Street and Downtown
The Peekskill Downtown Business Improvement District promotes downtown businesses, events, markets and local storefronts. Its district encompasses restaurants, coffee shops, specialty retail and professional services.
Arts and Entertainment
Paramount Hudson Valley is a historic performance venue tied to downtown's entertainment identity. Other galleries and artist studios contribute to the city's active arts scene.
Local Business Examples
The Business Improvement District has profiled businesses such as Gauchos Steakhouse on North Division Street and local floral and specialty retail operators. Check the district's current business directory before visiting, because business openings and hours change.
Farmers Markets and Community Events
Seasonal markets and community events are another part of downtown life. Parking arrangements and traffic patterns can differ between an ordinary weekday and an event weekend.
Downtown to the Hudson River
The Metro-North station and Riverfront Green are toward the waterfront, not in exactly the same spot as the downtown retail core. Visitors and potential buyers should test the connection between homes, shops, riverfront and rail.
What to Check When Buying Nearby
For a property advertised as 'walkable to downtown,' inspect sidewalk routes, street grades, parking, building type and noise at the address. A short distance does not necessarily mean a comfortable walk.
