Rye is a coastal city in Westchester County of New York. Best known for being home to Rye Playland (also known as Playland Amusement Park) which was built in 1928, the only publicly-owned amusement park in the U.S.A., it has the feel of a charming, wealthy small town along the Long Island Sound. It is the youngest city in New York State.
