Best Mexican Food in Spanish Harlem

Agua de Fresca!! Excellent, inspired Mexican food.

Casual takeout near Sheraton in Tarrytown

Indian? Swagat in Tarrytown is pretty good - we order takeout from there all the time.

A day in Harlem

Stop by Charles' Southern Pan Fried Chicken for amazing fried chicken and other southern food. $13 all-you-can-eat lunch. Just don't expect too much in the way of atmosphere

sorry state of fried chicken in westchester

What may be the best fried chicken in the New York area, while not in Westchester, is really not too far either. Charles Country Pan Fried Chicken on 151st and Frederick Douglas Blvd. is all you need to know. And while the fried chicken is the clear star, all the food is delicious. A $13 AYCE lunch gets you unlimited fried chicken, smothered pork chops, smothered turkey legs, ribs, collard greens, mac n cheese, green beans, okra stew, rice and peas, among others. Just had it this past Saturday, and it took me about a half hour from Sleepy Hollow. Well worth it...

Ideas for some Apps and drinks for Sunday!

I think a great place for this type of thing is the lobby lounge in the Ritz. A very nice, relaxed setting - couches, etc - with a nice menu of small bites and sandwiches offered all day.

Best Sandwiches in westchester?

Like much of the food there, the "BBQ-'bano" at BridgeView Tavern - their take on the Cubano, made with their house smoked pulled pork - is pretty damn delicious!!

Ambadi White Plains

My wife and I love Ambadi. Since we've moved from White Plains, we still venture back every now and again to enjoy their eats. Onion pakoras are a must!!

Best Mexican Food in Westchester?

Los Abuelos in Ossining - while I haven't been to all Mexican restaurants in Westchetser (and I know there are some good ones in Port Chester) it is probably the best I've been to. Sunshine Deli in White Plains too - although from what I understand they are closing.

starting to plan a party...need help/ideas!!

Definitely Bellota (@42 in the Ritz) - great, loungy, relaxed vibe with excellent drinks, food, and music.

Westchester - Exceptional Restaurants That Have Barely Made it Through A Year

I got one! Sunset Grille in White Plains. Excellent little Mexican on Gedney Way that was only opened for about 1 1/2 years, shut due to some problem with the landlord, and never reopened. Boy do I miss that place...

Fun restaurant with great food in Westchester?

Lolita in Byram and Bellota atop the Ritz in WP are my top picks for fun places with good food and drinks. Cookery is possibly the best food in Westchester though (my opinion!), and can be fun (and loud). No reservations for parties less than 6 though

Quiet restaurant sought in White Plains area

Haven't been in a while, but check out both La Bocca and Tre Angelina for solid food in a nice, quiet setting.

Suggestions for Lunch in Tarrytown?

Bridge View Tavern on Beekman Ave. in Sleepy Hollow is a must try! Food is excellent - great burgers, salads, and interesting takes on other bar staples. They have a great bar, but also a separate dining room. For me, this is the best undiscovered restaurant in the area.

Momofuku wedding cakes??

Just went to a wedding last week and they had the Dulce De Leche wedding cake and it was a HUUUGE success!! Everybody could not stop raving about it being the best wedding cake they every had - me being one of them!

Need rec for a girls 10th bday dinner out

I know I risk getting rocks thrown at me for this suggestion, but with 10 year olds, how about the Cheesecake Factory?? My nephew always loves it

October weekend in the Hudson Valley

In Woodstock, minutes from Levon's (I have been multiple times) is an excellent little restaurant called Violette (www.violettewoodstock.com) - interesting eclectic mix of dishes all prepared wonderfully using fresh ingredients. Love this place.

Need Recommendation for 8 in/near Briarcliff Manor

Okinawa Japanese Steakhouse in the Arcadian shopping plaza in Ossining is surprisingly good hibachi - great for a large group.

dessert westchester

Check out Cafe Mozart in Mamaroneck too - not positive if they have a brownie sundae or not, but a great place to go for dessert. On weekend nights they have live music too.

Tarrytown: Striped Bass or Sunset Cove?

I give Sunset Cove the slight edge in food and view, although haven't been in a while.

HELP! I want to order thai delivery - White Plains

15-20 mins away from Tyrynda Thai in Sleepy Hollow, which is good

Dinosaur for best ribs in NYC. Hill Country might take the brisket, although Dino won't disappoint

Peniche, or Why do all the places I like go downhill?

I too used to love Peniche. Haven't been in a while to say I don't love it anymore, but based on recent reviews, probably not. I am also baffled by the fact that they haven't fixed the sign yet, and the website has been down forever. It really makes you wonder if they have any passion for the place anymore. Seems like not.

Fancy Lunch in Westchester

My wife and I actually love doing lunch in the Ritz Carlton lobby. It is lovely there and they have some good lunch options - sandwiches, burgers, etc. It lends to a very relaxing, nice time.

BRIDGE VIEW TAVERN, SLEEPY HOLLOW NY

This is a great addition to the area. Since first trying this place a couple of months ago, my wife and I have been back on nearly a weekly basis. The food is very good, and reasonably priced. I love the salads, particularly the Harvest with goat cheese, candied walnuts, and dried cranberries - throw in grilled chicken (a heaping portion), and it's a steal at $12. The burgers here are incredible too. I look forward to expanding out on the menu.

Update on Italian Restaurants in Westchester

Somehow Zuppa always does get forgotten, but I have to agree with this assesment. I've had nothing but delicious food and wonderful experiences here. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.
