Yonkers is a popular mid-sized city that lies in the state of New York, just a short drive north of New York City’s Bronx district. Due to its access to the Hudson River, the city grew as a small port city and provided relief from New York City’s busy ports. The city also has a small rail line that serves to ship freshly imported goods to the rest of the country. Kawasaki Rail, a company responsible for much of the Northern railroad development, also has a headquarters here.
Apart from its history in the shipping and railway industry, Yonkers primarily serves as a large retail center for shopping and entertainment. NYC residents who prefer a more laid back and affordable shopping scene often take a weekend trip here to do a bit of “retail therapy.”
The city also has one of the country’s few harness racing tracks where people can go and bet on horse races. The track also has some recently-installed slot machines. This means that Yonkers also serves as a small gambling hub for the state of New York.
