Origin of restaurant’s name
The restaurant is named after Wolfert Ecker who was a Dutch colonial government tax collector. His home and estate were bought by author Washington Irving and its name “Wolfert’s Roost” would become the title of one of Irving’s short stories.

A prominent place in American history would later be gained by the property, located in Tarrytown neat the Hudson River. Irving renamed it “Sunnyside” and after many years had passed, it would become a world-famous tourism destination operated by Historic Hudson Valley.

Wolfert’s Roost is located at 100 Main Street in Irvington, New York. Phone: 914-231-7576.
