The snow on Saturday, caught me by surprise. And if you were out and noticed the geese frolicking around, they seemed to be enjoying their snow day. It was quite surprising to see them walking around with some snow dusting on their backs. I was sorry that I did not… Read More →
It’s a nasty flu season around here. I should know: I’m getting over the flu right now. Is there anyone here who hasn’t at some point associated being sick with eating chicken soup? Canned, takeout or homemade, chicken soup is king for colds and flu for many people out there…. Read More →
Port Chester, all of 2.5 square miles, manages to serve up a hemisphere’s worth of national cuisines. The Western one, mainly. For our series about ethnic restaurants near The Capitol Theatre, we’ve toured the Americas sampling Mexican, Salvadoran, Peruvian, Uruguayan and Argentinian food – and we still haven’t traveled more… Read More →
Rosemary is the herb of remembrance and although it is used year round, in my mind I think of it as a winter herb. It can survive the bitterest cold. Over 12 years ago, when we moved into our house, the garden was nothing like what it looks like today…. Read More →
Asian Temptation in White Plains is the perfect lunch spot for me, a plant-eater and my omnivore husband. We can run our errands, see a movie and get a great meal all in the City Centre. On one such errand day we found ourselves on the tail end of a… Read More →

It’s been the buzz for months: What was going to fit in the large space vacated by the Rye Ridge movie theater? And then: how the heck will that work? The answer: A gorgeous, red-hued space that is now the Asian bistro Buddha with Hibachi-style tables on one side; regular… Read More →
Hi again, it’s Katherine Curry, guest-blogger. When Spoon opened in Chappaqua about two years ago, I said, “Yay. Another Asian fusion place.” Even my seven-year-old daughters recognized the sarcasm in that statement. It’s not so much that we have a ton of Asian fusion restaurants here in Northern Westchester (we… Read More →
I noticed this sign right next to Tango Grill on East Post Road in White Plains the other day: Full Moon Asian and Thai Cuisine? Anyone know anything? No numbers on the door, no other signs that I could see.
I went to the opening of Ginban in Mamaroneck on Monday night. Sorry for the delay in posting, but the holiday season makes it tough.. lots of people on vacation this week! Anyway, Ginban is part of a growing restaurant empire owned by Andy Lin. He also owns Asian Temptation… Read More →
I went to Haiku in Mamaroneck the other night. There seem to be a ton of Asian restaurants either already open and a lot more on the way. My colleague Linda Lombroso is working on a story about all the new places. Here’s what she’s found so far. In Mamaroneck:... Read More →
Duke Ocean Grill, on the site of the former IGA supermarket in Tappan, has been coming soon for quite some time, but its management now predicts a mid-to late October opening. The establishment is an ambitious undertaking if only for its sheer size. Once you pass through the grand entrance,... Read More →
