New Whole Foods in Ridge Hill (Yonkers)
Never said that you said that everyone validates (who's on first.......) Just trying to provide helpful info for the people who asked. I also complained to Yard House and they said, "We are working on it"......so take that for what it's worth. Not sure about the Brazilian place. I think the whole paying for parking thing sucks--like I mentioned, there are way too many good places in Westchester where you don't have to pay--Westchester is not filled with these type of "developments" anyway--like other cities/states are-- I don't think people around here will take too well to the concept--thus, all the complaints these business have received.

Not all stores/restaurants validate--so be aware of that. For example, Cheesecake Factory validates and Yard House does not--much to my annoyance--too many good Westchester restaurants to go to that are not chains to have to fork over money for parking. Dicks only validates for a half hour--no matter how much you spend--which is ridiculous--it should not be a time thing. So check with each store/restaurant.
Yum! Almond croissants from Fairway!
Aren't they great?! Has been my little "secret" the past few months ever sense I tried one at the Westchester store. And the almond cookie they sell is also amazing (the thick one shaped like a croissant).
Sabatino's Coal Brick Oven (Hawthorne, NY)
Maybe all the reserved mobster tables sunk them. Kidding about the mobster part. Maybe. Was weird that they did always have so many reserved tables.....reserved for who?
Five Guys Burger and Fries coming to Cortlandt Manor
It is a coke freestyle machine. I am kinda obsessed with them. So many variations and flavors to choose from.

Spiga (Central Ave Scarsdale)... did it close?
Sorry that your experiences there have been so lousy. I guess I would feel the same way you do as well about the place.
Spiga (Central Ave Scarsdale)... did it close?
I liked the food there. Does that mean that I like "mediocre mainstream cuisine"? Just because it was not up to your standards, does not mean that others who like it have bad taste. Food is all a matter of preference. I liked Spiga's a lot. Went there at least 15 times in the past 5 years and each time was happy with the food and service.
Spiga (Central Ave Scarsdale)... did it close?
Food was great each time I went to Spiga. Great entrees and desserts and service was spot on. It will be missed.
Penzey's Palisades Mall W. Nyack Has Opened!
There are always plenty of spaces at Palisades. Perhaps there was not when it first opened, but no such problem exists now.
I always park by Macys and there are tons of spaces day and night. Even the inside garage is never full.
Not sure what some are complaining about.
Bobby Flay’s Burger Palace to open August 16
They gave you a new burger and you STILL wanted a refund........sigh. It is not enough that they gave you a new burger? That is what you wanted, right??
I love the burgers here. I have visited the ones in Jersey and Mohegan Sun Casino and they were all consistantly good. Not as good as Shake Shack, but most burgers cannot compare to SS anyway.....
Shatila - Dearborn - What to mail?
Hard for me to answer because I LOVE their baklava. Bought some for family and everyone went crazy for it. So maybe it is just you.......something to consider.......
Shake Shack Westport to open next Wednesday!!!
Pure heaven. Was there tonight (braved the crowds) and was surprised at how quickly and orderly the whole process was; especially for all the people that were there. Some high up exec was there talking to people and answering questions and was super friendly and talked about the history of the company and such.....we got free custard while we waited in line from a super-sweet worker (it was awesome). So the big moment arrived, would it compare to the original in the city and it sure did! Actually this one was even more juicy and tasty (they cooked it slightly under-which I really like). So great to have one closer. The best burger. Hands down. Nothing else compares to the taste.
Need a place with a drive up window
Just like ediblover said, not many non-chains will have drive-throughs......why not call a restaurant you like and explain your situation and I am sure some will bring it out to your car perhaps.....obviously some will not be accomodating, but some will....
DAIRY QUEEN / ORANGE JULIUS ( MERGER ? ) IN FAIRFIED?
??
Is there one opening in Fairfield?? An Orange Julius I mean.....There use to be ones on every street corner in NYC ages ago....love their drinks!!
Where do you eat at the Palisades Mall?
Fire and Ice wasn't bad.....you just needed to eat a lot in order to justify the price....and then it took a long time (especially if it was crowded) to get a second helping because you had to wait for all the others to have their food cooked, so for two times up, you had to be at the place for at least an hour and a half.
The raw food didn't bother me....that is why we have an immune system ~) And they cook it anyway....
Where do you eat at the Palisades Mall?
We have good timing! I am with you about KFC, I am not one who seeks out the place, but if it is an option, I will partake in some of their chicken, especially the extra cripsy. As far as IHOP goes, I like some of their omlettes and I think their pot roast melt sandwich is very good.
I just realized that admitting that I kinda like IHOP and KFC might get me kicked off the chowhound boards......I will have to risk it and the public shame that it will bring.
Where do you eat at the Palisades Mall?
Well, Good Earth Potato is gone. Saw them boarding up the place tonight. Too bad. It was a good choice in the food court.
They are opening up an Ihop soon across from the recently opened Tony Romas.....
Looking for good authentic Polish food??
Hamtramck!! Best Polish food! I am from Milford and I am Polish, and we would head over to Hamtramck at least once a month for some good old fashioned Polish food. We use to go to "Under the Eagle" restaurant. My mom was best friends with the owner.
I am planning on traveling to Denver this June and will check out this bakery. I could really go for some paczkis and pierogis!!!
Five Guys Burger and Fries coming to Cortlandt Manor
A lot of the ones that I have been to have been in similar locations. Like Elisa515 mentioned, the one in Nanuet is in a similar type location.
I do find their "A child may have an allergy and lives in a 500 mile radius of this location" peanut warning hilarious. Political correctness at its most annoying.......
Five Guys Burgers and Fries is coming to Pelham Manor
Hopefully you will be able to recover after such a tramatic event. I guess I was too busy enjoying my perfectly cooked burger to see all the miserable, unhappy people around me and the cold, uninviting nightmare that is this food establishment.
And no, people in this thread do not expect everyone to love Five Guys. I like the place a lot. It is not my favorite place for a burger. But for its type of establishment, it makes a good burger. What some will not take is ridiculous observations and statements that fly across to the other side of the spectrum of logic and believability. To say that you don't like the burger is one thing, but to say that the place was so horrific inside that you could not even stand to eat inside that you retreated to your car and every customer looked miserable and unhappy REALLY raises the red flags.......
This place is a fast food establishment. It is loud, bright and full of people eating burgers, not Filet Mignon. I did not expect candlelight and roses. The workers were African American young people who were working and not looking any different than any young person that works at such a place. And nobody was crying when they were eating their burgers when I was there. They looked what people look like in such an establishment. I have no idea where you found such misery. I think you were projecting your own feelings and perceptions.

My reply was aimed at JMF to minimize any confusion ;)

Wow. Everything you said was the complete opposite of what I just experienced yesterday. I wondered if that guy making faces at his burger in the corner was you? Perhaps.....What is a big burger to you? A Five Guys Burger is an average size burger. It is in no means "tiny". Stale raw onions? I must have gotten a different batch ;) Nothing stale about my raw onions. And your burger was a "crumbled mess like the person working there squeezed it really hard....." Hmmmmmm................odd. Odd indeed.
