5). Hammond Museum & Japanese Stroll Garden:                                                           http://www.hammondmuseum.org

Located in North Salem, New York (Westchester area), this is truly an undiscovered treasure. Beautiful gardens with ponds to stroll around, a variety of art exhibits and shows, traditional tea drinking ceremonies (my favorite experience there !) and other special events related to Japanese culture. Worth a visit.
