SUMMER NIGHTS IN WESTCHESTER!
One of the many perks of living in Westchester is all the incredible restaurants to choose from. Especially those restaurants that offer waterfront dining. It’s truly special to watch the sunset on the Hudson River while enjoying a delicious meal and sipping on a cocktail or two!!
I have compiled a list of restaurants that are closest to the waterfront with spectacular views. From a fancy surf and turf dish to a casual lobster roll and beer. From this list, you will find your “go-to” spot. Also, take a look at ” 10 Ice Cream Shops In Westchester” to satisfy your sweet tooth.
