r/Westchester

Hi all! I recently relocated from San Diego, CA and am having a hard time finding spots that are comparable. My favorites in SD are Cowboy Star, Mister A's, Callie, Campfire, Herb & Wood, Azuki, Turf Club, Wolf in the Woods, The Balboa, Fort Oak, Quixote, and Books & Records.

I'm looking for quality cocktails/wine, food, and service in any form- can be an upscale place, neighborhood joint, or a dive bar. A few places that I've enjoyed here are The Cookery, Boro6, La Chitarra, Felice, Antique Garage, Burrata, Candlelight, Freddy's, The Crooked Quill, and Moquette.

Places I haven't been impressed with include One Rare, Chat, Saint George Bistro, Divino Cucina, Kee Oyster House, Hudson Prime, and Half Moon.

SOS, please and thanks!

Hi Westchester residents, I live in a neighboring county and I want to take my girlfriend out to dinner to celebrate her being 6 months sober this week. Where are some of the best restaurants you would suggest? Mainly middle and lower parts of the county if able! Thanks :)

Just moved into my apartment and had Optimum installed. Have my router in the living room. Unfortunately, there are a lot of dead spots where the wifi drops specifically in the bedroom and other areas. Does anyone have recommendations on a wifi mesh system or wifi extender that worked well for them and improved the wifi? I have the 500 Mbps plan. Appreciate any feedback.

It seems the Wegman's milk I buy has a problem, one had the aftertaste of parmesan cheese, another one turned into a yellow liquid. I tried their regular milk and lactose-free. I refuse to buy milk there now, I've never had this problem buying milk in any Westchester area store. Has anyone else noticed this?

Has anyone ever done this or recommend it? We want to invest in the Mitsubishi H2i ("hyper heat) mini split and thinking it would be great to have solar panels power it. I dont know if it's even possible. So im just here looking for thoughts. Thanks.

Big winds from the storm last night resulted in loss of power, cancelation of Playland fireworks, and some road closures.

From Rye Police:

Road Closures:

Ridge Street is closed between High Street and Hillside Avenue after a tree fell onto a vehicle. Please avoid the area and use alternate routes.

Forest Ave is closed between Oakland Beach Ave and Rye Beach Ave.

Old Post Road is closed between Boston Post Road and North Street.

In Hartsdale area

Already lost power, anyone else?

Edit: Sprain Brook, not BRP.

Was driving back up from Long Island tonight, and there was tree debris everywhere on the parkway. Some trees looked twisted and guardrail bent in various places. Around Tuckahoe Road/Jackson Avenue exits. It was an eerie, liminal feeling. Didn't see anything on the fire wires, but it reminded me when a microburst sliced down a line of trees in the Sparta area of Ossining a few years ago.

Essentially, bars or other extracurriculars for people in their late twenties or early fourties. Also open to a place to meet single parent friends.

What a relief🥳🥳🥳

Currently 24, somewhat fresh college graduate living in northern westchester commuting to engineering job via metro north every day. Thinking of moving out, but also would like to save. Was just wondering what the average age on the sub is.

Looking for restaurant recommendations in southern Westchester for a large family celebration (around 25–40 people).

Ideally looking for places in or around Eastchester, Bronxville, Scarsdale, Tuckahoe, Pelham, New Rochelle, Mamaroneck, or nearby.

A few things we’re hoping for:
- Family-style dining (Italian or American)
- Private or semi-private room would be a plus
- Reasonably priced (doesn’t have to be cheap, just good value)

If you’ve hosted a family event at a restaurant that you would recommend, I’d love to hear where and how your experience was. Thanks!

These are two different sets of trees. I know they are cultivars of what is generally called Northern White Cedars, Thuja occidentalis. But I have no idea what specific cultivar. Can anyone help? The ones that are in front of a Capital One Bank are 5 miles away from the others. Are they the same cultivars? or different? I live in Southern Westchester County, NY, zone 7a.

Anyone have any advice about what to do with old toys? I have a lot of toys my kid has grown out of. Including a literal storage box full of 1000s of legos. Anyone know where I can donate or drop off? I would hate to juts trash them.

Does anyone know where I can find Kook Soon Dang Draft Makgeolli (the green bottle) near White Plains? I know there’s an H Mart in Hartsdale, but I don’t think they carry it. Thanks!
