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:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
