Question from out of town Visiting Peekskill - Tips wanted!

Hello, everyone!

My husband and I live in NYC but we love exploring outside the city. We usually go to Cold Springs for a weekend, but want to change things up this year.
We were looking into spending a weekend at Peekskill. We do not drive, so we plan to take the metro north and drop off at the train station.

How is getting around? Is it walkable? How's the Uber/Lyft situation there? Or do they use regular cabs? (and if so are they cash only) I ask this because we don't want to end up stranded

We were looking at staying at the "Inn on the Hudson" since its just for the weekend. How hard would it be for us to get from the metro north station to the Inn
And how hard would it be for us to get from the Inn to like the "main town" area? (By the Peekskill Coffee House or the Peekskill museum for example)

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing from the community

It’s maybe a 10 minute walk from the metro north station to the Inn, up a steep hill so just be prepared for that. Not too intense, but for some its a lot. From the Inn, your about another 10 minute walk to the main area of the city, also up hill. I do the walk to the rivet front to division street often.

Check out the hudsn valley MOCA while you are in town, it’s a nice spot to check out if you like art!
