Route Description
NY 128 begins at an intersection with NY 22 (Armonk–Bedford Road), an arterial boulevard, in the hamlet of Armonk (within the town of North Castle). NY 128 proceeds north on Main Street, a two-lane commercial street, intersecting with an old alignment of NY 22, entering the town center for North Castle, where it maintains the commercial backdrop through town. Passing west of Wampus Brook Park, NY 128 intersects with Old Mount Kisco Road, an old alignment as it leaves the town center. NY 128 soon parallels the park and Wampus Brook on its way north, maintaining the Main Street moniker until an intersection with Old Mount Kisco Road. At that junction, the route becomes Armonk–Mount Kisco Road, making a large bend westward near Al Ehrmann Park.
Now running northwest, NY 128 crosses through North Castle as a two-lane residential roadway, paralleling Wrights Mill Road into Wampus Pond County Park. Through the parkland, NY 128 bends northwest, running along the northern edge of the park, and passing Wampus Pond. NY 128 soon enters the town of New Castle, where it changes names to Armonk Road on its way north, remaining a two-lane residential street. The route winds its way north via several bends, soon becoming a wooded roadway through New Castle. Residences remain spacious, paralleling NY 128 into the village of Mount Kisco. Now in Mount Kisco, NY 128 retains the name Armonk Road until a junction with Lexington Avenue, where NY 128 proceeds north on Park Avenue, which intersects with NY 117 (Main Street). This intersection serves as the northern terminus of NY 128.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
