About Ardsley, New York
Ardsley is a village in Westchester County, New York, United States. After the Dutch came to the area, the land was part of the Bisightick tract of the van der Donck grant purchased by Frederick Philipse in 1682, first lord of Philipsburg Manor. The screenplay for Unfaithful (2002 film) specifically cites Ardsley as its location; the script calls the setting, "a quiet commuter suburb." (Wikipedia)
