Iconic building straight out of a picture book. Even if the approach to the bridge from here is a little complicated, the detour to the lighthouse is worthwhile.

The Little Red Lighthouse, located in Fort Washington Park along the Hudson River in Manhattan, New York City, under the George Washington Bridge. It inspired the famous children’s book, The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge (Originally published in 1942)

A dreamy place to stay. A bit noisy due to the bridge over one, but there are nice views of Upper Manhattan and Jersey City, as well as up the Hudson towards Sleepy Hollow.
