Local service in Riverdale
Riverdale is the Bronx’s greenest, most suburban corner — Wave Hill, the Hudson River estates, and schools such as Horace Mann, Riverdale Country School, and Fieldston, with Manhattan College on its eastern edge. The Henry Hudson Parkway runs right through it, putting the George Washington Bridge, Teterboro, and North Jersey within easy reach.
Our chauffeurs know the area — Wave Hill, Manhattan College, Horace Mann and Riverdale Country School, Henry Hudson Parkway, and Van Cortlandt Park — and pick up at any address, hotel, or building entrance in Riverdale and across the Bronx.
