Number of outdoor eating spots has climbed to an even forty

BY JANANNE ABEL

W

hile Rye Town is far from a tourist community, eating outdoors on a balmy evening can make you feel like you’re on vacation. Over the years the outdoor venues in town have gotten more plentiful and their design more creative so as to take customers into another world while they’re dining—whether it be on the water, tucked between two buildings or simply on a sidewalk. A few places have cranked up the music in recent years to create a party atmosphere, and last year one restaurant added a bocce court to make customers feel like they’re in Italy.

From April to October—and especially during the summer months—restaurants with outdoor seating are definitely in demand.

We’ve had some hot weather this month, so the most pleasant time to take advantage of local eateries with decks, patios and sidewalk cafés has been later at night when the temperatures are tolerable. In general, however, balmy breezes have still allowed hardcore outdoor eaters like myself to feel comfortable dining al fresco.

The outdoor dining experience has been ebbing and flowing in Port Chester and Rye Brook over the last several years with the number of restaurants offering a place to eat outside nearly doubling a dozen years ago, leveling off and then climbing steadily since then. The phenomenon has caught on thanks to the Port Chester Board of Trustees which 14 years ago encouraged sidewalk cafés through legislation and because savvy restaurateurs have realized it’s the way to go to increase visibility, business and/or

The nicely landscaped patio in front of Pasquale II Ristorante at 2 Putnam Ave. is a pleasant setting for relaxed outdoor dining. door eating last year are not doing so in 2010. Two of them—F.I.S.H. and Rosie’s on the River—closed, Caffe del Monte changed hands, and Il Sogno, KFC and Frankie & Louie’s haven’t had tables out when I’ve gone by.

To offset and surpass that number, however, 10 restaurants are offering dining al fresco for the first time. Five of them are new—Bartaco, Arrosto, Homestyle Café, Tarry Market Café and Chop’t Creative Salad Company. Mary Ann’s Mexican Restaurant is in a new location that allows for outside eating. Inca & Gaucho and Acuario Cevicheria y mas wisely decided to join the group of sidewalk cafés along the streets of Port Chester and Tandoori Taste of India rejoined that group after many years. I just caught up with Bagel Emporium

Port Chester

Sasa Mahr-Batuz and Andy Pforzheimer, owners of Barcelona in Greenwich and five other locations, opened Bartaco at the former Ebb Tide Seafood location on the Byram River at 1 Willett Ave. in December.

At the time the attractive deck was fully furnished and visible from inside and it was clear that it would be a popular drinking and dining spot once the warm weather arrived.

In fact, now that F.I.S.H. has closed at the foot of Fox Island Road, it’s the only place in town with an eating spot overlooking the water.

Although the view isn’t spectacular, you do see boats passing by and pulling in and out of docks nearby and can enjoy dining al fresco on the water rather than breathing in the fumes of passing cars.

With new ownership, Sam’s Bar & Grill, located adjacent to the Byram River at 1 Mill St., expanded its quaint outdoor setup last year which has remained much the same this season. which did have tables outdoors last add interest to their establishment.

The large deck is constructed of year as well.

It’s also a way to make room for imitation gray wood planks. There Some restaurants offer outoverflow crowds at smaller eateries is a combination of seating at low door table service while a number which can accommodate many white tables on matching benches have just placed tables outside for fewer patrons the rest of the year. or individual seats topped with navy customers who choose to take their For a small community, it’s cushions, the benches accented with food and dine al fresco. amazing first of all how many navy and white striped pillows, or Over the years a handful of eatrestaurants there are—the number is at white wooden tables on white eries have discontinued offering the now at 124 in Port Chester and Rye plastic chairs, some covered by outdoor dining experience because Brook (8 more than last year)—and navy umbrellas, some not.

deck from inside the restaurant. A bar distinguished by its corrugated metal top and front fills the opposite side of this outdoor eating area. The restaurant has been constructed so the wall that faces the deck opens like a garage door to allow even those eating inside to catch the cool breezes when the weather is fine.

Heat lamps allow drinking and dining outside for a number of months as long as it’s not raining.

Bartaco, a tequila bar with a beach shack feel, serves up so-called Mexican street food: 3-bite gourmet tacos, guacamole, tamales, rotisserie chicken, rice bowls with a choice of meats or shrimp, gazpacho, snapper ceviche, grilled corn with cotija cheese and sides such as chipotle slaw and spicy cucumber salad on metal trays or in small white bowls.

It’s a fun place where you place your order on a printed card using a pencil and place a plastic card with a dragonfly (the bartaco logo) on it in the metal holder on your table to alert your waiter when you’re ready to order. To drink you can order a variety of tequilas, margaritas and other cocktails plus wine and beer.

Bartaco is open and serves food daily from 11:30 a.m. to shortly before closing time at 2 a.m. and brunch on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The tequila bar has been known to close earlier than 2 a.m. if they’re not busy. However, that’s unlikely to be the case during the balmy summer months when the deck is open.

Besides Bartaco, Arrosto was the other restaurant that was in transition last summer and eventually opened Nov. 9 at 25 South Regent St. The framework for the Italian restaurant’s large red awning was taking shape out front last year at this time.

Under the awning tables seating up to 60 people are draped with beige cloths over which black and beige patterned plastic cloths are laid and up to which comfortable beige open weave chairs are pulled.

Tables are set with the same glassware, white dishes and white cloth napkins tied with brown and beige striped ribbons as inside. The entire area is kept private by a buffer of shrubs strung with tiny white lights all around it which, along with the golden candles on the tables, create a romantic atmosphere after dark. Heaters allow for about eight

months of dining al fresco.

Managing partners Tony Longo of Park Deli and Port Chester native and former New York City restaurateur Godfrey Polistina make customers feel at home at their restaurant where the motto “Be Social.

Eat Well” is stenciled on the front windows.

Arrosto offers traditional Italian cuisine, meats and fish cooked on a wood-fired grill, Neapolitan woodfired pizza, eight house made pasta dishes served in either individual or family style portions, entrées such as Long Island Crescent Duck and Veal Chop Milanese as well as share-style roasts with 24 hours notice or for parties of 12 or more.

Chef Richard Corbo uses local, organic and sustainably raised and harvested ingredients whenever possible. The extensive wine list features mostly Italian wines in all price ranges plus a smattering of other varieties from around the world. Homemade desserts are not to be missed, especially the Chocolate Nutella Budino.

Arrosto is open for lunch Wednesday through Friday from 12-3 p.m. and for dinner Tuesday through Thursday from 5-10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 5-11 p.m. and Sunday from 5-9 p.m.

In recent months Mary Ann’s Mexican Restaurant moved from its longtime location on the Boston Post Road to 23 ½ North Main St. where it is one of the restaurants offering outside eating for the first time this year. Other restaurants that have preceded Mary Ann’s have used the same space for outdoor dining in the past.

Mary Ann’s offers its Mexican specialties and margaritas both inside and on the red brick patio with a gray wooden runner which has been spruced up under the new ownership. Here customers drink or dine at nine black metal mesh tables, extremely popular all over town this year, and a mélange of magenta, green and black plastic chairs. Tables are topped with black Amstel Light umbrellas and one navy Coors Light umbrella. Colorful decorative plastic promotional beer signs are strung across the patio and two Mary’s Ann’s Mexican banners hang on the rust-colored stucco and wood clapboard walls surrounding the patio.

Number of outdoor eating spots has climbed to an even forty

on Saturday nights when they are only booked a day in advance. If not fully booked, the terrazzo will also be used for overflow for walk-ins.

It can also be reserved for private events.

Tarry Lodge is open Monday through Friday for lunch from 12-3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday for brunch during the same hours. Dinner starts at 3 p.m. and runs until 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday and Tuesday thru Saturday until 11 pm.

Red and white flowers and greens fill the beds around the patio and evergreens and marigolds are planted in the boxes and beds at the Abendroth Avenue entrance to the restaurant which leads directly into the outdoor eating area.

Mary Ann’s serves up all the traditional Mexican specialties such as nachos, guacamole, quesadillas, taquitos, burritos, tostadas, turkey chili as well as wraps, salads, seafood dishes, specialty plates like Mole Poblano and Carne Asada and Mexican combinations.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

On June 6, Homestyle Café set up shop at 321 North Main St. where Caffe Del Monte had been.

A single green picnic table with attached benches sits next to the building for anyone wishing to eat outside, the same as it did last year under the previous owner.

Johnny Ramirez of Rye Brook teamed up with chef Joey Gonzalez of Port Chester for this new venture.

Gonzalez is cooking up an international menu featuring American, Italian, French and Spanish cuisine.

Panini, wraps, crepes, burgers, wedges and salads plus a full range of eggs and omelets, pancakes, French toast and oatmeal are what’s for breakfast and lunch at this glorified luncheonette. So far there’s no Latin American food on the menu, but Gonzalez can certainly prepare it.

Gonzalez has intentions of upgrading the outdoor eating area, but it’s not clear whether that will happen this year or next.

Homestyle Cafe is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. It is closed Saturday.

In February 2007, father and son Peter and Marc Tessitore opened Nessa Restaurant at 325 North Main St., across from The Landmark building. At that time Marc said in the future they planned to develop an outdoor eating area next to the building which was realized in June 2008. Each year it keeps getting better.

Decorative iron gates open onto a narrow, cozy patio of multicolored bricks where seven black metal mesh tables with matching chairs are covered by olive green umbrellas. This oasis is beautifully landscaped with trees, bushes and flowers in a few square beds that break it up and other green plants and bushes in a bed along a wooden fence installed adjacent to the building next door. Large wooden boxes planted with yellow flowers and miniature evergreens grace the entrance.

This year a beautiful trellis was added in front of the iron gates with pink, red and purple morning glories climbing on it in addition to artificial grape leaves which fill out the greenery on the top portion of the structure.

At night candles on the tables, tiny white lights on the trees and torches along the fence create a warm atmosphere.

Last year another dimension was added to dining al fresco at Nessa. A few stone steps lead from the courtyard to a patio and grassy area with three additional tables topped with lime green umbrellas in front of a bocce court. There are bushes and flowers all around.

The Kneaded Bread at 181 North Main St., corner of Mill Street, waited four years to get permission to open its sidewalk café.

Customers are now enjoying eating al fresco for the second year.

Number of outdoor eating spots has climbed to an even forty Further down Main Street near the Greenwich border figures one of the most visible outdoor eating areas in Port Chester, the well-landscaped red brick patio in front of Pasquale II Ristorante across from Carvel at 2 Putnam Ave. Here customers dine at nine grayish tables and matching chairs covered with a mix of bright blue Pepsi and green Perrier umbrellas. A buffer of beautiful shrubs, trees and flowers in pots and beds surrounds the patio and helps create a tranquil setting. This year there are red hibiscus bushes, marigolds and a tall purple variety of flower. Tiny white lights on a white picket fence along the perimeter of the patio and music piped outside enhance the pleasant atmosphere.

Fine Italian cuisine is featured at Pasquale for lunch and dinner— homemade pastas, chicken, veal and seafood as well as fine wines. The lunch menu also includes a handful of sandwiches.

Hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 12 noon to 10 p.m., Friday from 12 noon to 11 p.m., Saturday from 3 to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 9 p.m. Pasquale is closed Monday.

For the 10th year customers can eat outside at the tiny enclave at the back of Sonora, the nuevo Latino eatery that opened in May 2001 at 179 Rectory St. A deck around the side of the restaurant off Rectory Street is hidden by tall trees and bushes. Six ornate ceramic containers planted with spiky greens and flowers sit on the ledge of the deck—painted a pretty shade of red—where a total of 14 people can dine at various table setups. Silver square tables have a swirl design while the comfortable chairs that surround them have bamboo seats and backs. Torches have been placed around the edge of the deck for the romantic effect

and to keep away the mosquitoes. A heater extends the months of outside dining.

In this tranquil setting, reached by entering the front door and walking through the restaurant, you can enjoy Latin food with a French flair.

Tapas, literally small appetizers from Spain, have been extrapolated at Sonora to include a wide variety of appetizers. Tapas and ceviches— South American seafood cocktails— are among the specialties at Sonora, where seafood has top billing.

There are tapas on the summer menu from Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Spain and the USA. Lobster and avocado quesadilla with chipotle garnished with crème fraiche from Mexico; short ribs and golden raisin empanadas served with mixed greens, sweet plantain and pine nut salad from Spain; and vegetarian guacamole with quinoa, mango and cilantro served with asparagus and carrot sticks from Peru are among the interesting tapas.

Main courses include seafood paella with saffron rice, shrimp, clams, mussels, chorizo and scallops topped with sofrito from Spain; pan seared tilapia served over enchiladas stuffed with shrimp, baby spinach and sweet corn in mole sauce from Mexico; free range chicken breast stuffed with Colombian chorizo, goat cheese and sweet plantains served with purple potato hash browns from Colombia; and panela caramelized salmon with arugula and hearts of palm salad with a passion fruit and citrus mojito from Chile.

A variety of cocktails, margaritas, mojitos, tequilas and international beers are on the menu to go with your meal.

The same attentive service that is offered inside is provided on the deck.

Number of outdoor eating spots has climbed to an even forty seats about 50 people, is decorated with impressive murals of houses, waterfalls, trees and flowers painted on the stone wall behind the restaurant and on the back wall of the eatery itself by Dominican-born Nino Gil. Numerous pots placed around the patio hold banana plants, palms and colorful flowers.

A grill has been built in outside where manager Miguel Nunez said there are lots of parties. Music is piped out from inside where a guitarist and pianist play Latin music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

Drinks such as cosmopolitans, margaritas, mojitos, Long Island iced teas and Pisco sours are featured here as well as a patio menu listing all types of food prepared on the grill—parrillada especial (grilled meats), with portions for adults or children, grilled seafood, steak, chicken, fish, combinations such as chicken and shrimp or ribs and shrimp or salmon and lobster as well as sandwiches and burgers.

Food is served on the patio from noon until 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until midnight Friday and Saturday.

The patio at Café Mirage, the late night eating spot at 531 North Main St., near the Greenwich border, is a popular outdoor venue which keeps changing its look. Fifteen silver metal tables for two with matching silver metal chairs which can be pushed together to accommodate larger parties are shaded by a navy and white awning. A round black metal mesh table with a beige umbrella was added this year. This lovely spot next to the Byram River is surrounded by a fence, royal blue on the outside, white inside, to provide a cozy atmosphere. Overhanging trees and colorful lanterns hanging from the awning along with boxes of colorful petunias secured to the fence add to the charming environment. The side of the patio along the Byram remains open so that during daylight hours you can watch ducks, egrets and other waterfowl playing in the river.

Some summer specials being offered by proprietor/chef Dave Haggerty at this international eatery, where the full menu is available until midnight on Friday and Saturday, are pomegranate and mango margaritas, passion fruit and espresso martinis; arugula, grapefruit, gorgonzola and pignoli nut salad with poppy seed vinaigrette; Thai ginger lemongrass shrimp; Bangkok mussels steamed in coconut milk and Thai spices; pan fried oysters with Creole hollandaise as well as gazpacho, carrot ginger, and tomato with avocado relish soups.

Oysters, little neck clams on the half shell and traditional shrimp

cocktail are always available from the raw bar.

The regular menu includes unusual sandwiches (including the fried oyster po’ boy) and entrées such as coconut curry shrimp or chicken; Beef Bourguignon, Jamaican jerk chicken, linguine with prosciutto, mushrooms, spinach and goat cheese and sesame crusted seared yellowfin tuna with wakame salad and ginger risotto.

and oil shrimp, croquette platter or crispy chicken. The price-fixed service of various meats carved from skewers in the rodizio style the restaurant is largely known for is not available outside.

Food is served on the patio from 12 noon to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Copacabana, which opened in September 2007 where Pantanal Brazilian Restaurant had been, is closed Monday.

The al fresco dining area at Nessa, located at 325 North Main St., just keeps getting better. Last year owners added a bocce court, this year this beautiful trellis on which pink, red and purple morning glories climb.

Now five black mesh metal tables with green and white plastic and black, white and green metal chairs plus four black wrought iron tables with matching chairs are scattered on the deck with no umbrellas.

This garden setting shaded by trees is nonetheless a tranquil place to eat. The owner has created a window display of Brazilian artifacts visible in the courtyard and beautified the space with lots of shrubs, some added since last year. A large American flag hangs on the outside of the building that forms one side of the deck.

The food and setup at Café Brazil USA are much the same as they have been in the past with typical Brazilian cuisine offered in a selfserve format in a buffet which includes both hot food and salads. It is priced at $4.99 per pound, $6.99 per pound for a combination of the buffet and BBQ, $8.99 per pound for BBQ only. Meat selections include barbecued chicken, pork, sausage Pretty umbrellas are back at Panera Bread’s sidewalk café at 10 Westchester Ave. or steak cooked on the rotisserie.

Continued from page 7 Café Brazil USA also offers cakes, flan and other desserts. Sandwiches, breakfast foods and Brazilian pizza are also available.

Café Brazil is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.

Another outdoor eating locale opened eight years ago behind Kiosko Restaurant at 220 Westchester Ave. Four round wooden tables with matching green wood chairs and a rectangular table with attached benches have been placed outside on a red brick patio around the back of the building off the parking lot. It is covered on three sides and open in the back. Four green boxes of pink flowers and yellow marigolds and four others with greens and marigolds create a walkway from the parking lot to the restaurant. Latin music plays in the background.

Mexican-born Nestor Morales of Queens and Raphael Quintero of Bridgeport, Conn. opened Kiosko, which offers authentic Mexican food, in February 2004. Raphael’s brother Tony has since joined the partnership.

Full Mexican and American breakfasts of Huevos Rancheros, Huevos a la Mexicana, Huevos con Chorizo, eggs with home fries, beans, ham or on a roll and omelets can be had here as well as all the Mexican favorites including enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, fajitas, tacos, sopes, tortas, chimichangas, flautas, molotes, chulupas and tostadas. Seafood and meat entrées, salads and homemade soups are also available. Besides wine, beer and soda, you can get a variety of refreshing fruit shakes made to order with a milk or water base.

Kiosko’s Cemitas Poblanas, authentic Mexican sandwiches made with a variety of meats, onions, avocado, asiago cheese and chipotle sauce, have been written up in The New York Times. Their flan is the best around.

Kiosko is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Frank’s Restaurant & Pizzeria at 23 Putnam Ave. provided outdoor seating for a number of years, dropped it six years ago following the eatery’s renovation, but then brought it back. Two square black mesh metal tables with matching chairs seating a total of four people sit on the sidewalk under Frank’s magenta awning. An attractive bench is sandwiched between them.

Two potted evergreens brightened by yellow marigolds and purple petunias border this simple outdoor eating area where no table service is provided to customers who choose to eat there.

Frank’s offers all types of pizza, pasta, hot and cold wedges, sandwiches, wraps, roll ups, burgers, an array of specialty salads, antipasti and other Italian specialties. Besides pasta (baked, specialty ravioli, lasagna, and a number of different combinations), there are chicken, veal, seafood and eggplant dishes plus steaks and chops.

Hours are Monday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and during the past year this popular Italian restaurant started opening from 3-9 p.m. on Sunday.

On the other side of town, Coyote Flaco at 115 Midland Ave. serves up some of the freshest Mexican food around on the patio in front of the tiny restaurant. It was newly renovated six years ago and is now enclosed on three sides by an attractive wall of beige and gray bricks inset with lantern fixtures that light up the eating area at night. The patio is covered by a bright green awning. Seating is at an eclectic mix of chairs and rectangular tables with red, gold and green plastic tablecloths as well as at green picnic tables with beige umbrellas.

Number of outdoor eating spots has climbed to an even forty Flowers and plants in window boxes ring the patio, covering the top of the wall that surrounds this outdoor venue, and more flowers are planted in containers outside the wall which brighten up the entrance to the restaurant. Trees have been planted in front of the patio along the street.

Coyote Flaco serves yummy, spicy gazpacho which is thinner than most (offered daily in the summer), and you can’t top the salmon and shrimp fajitas or just about any of the Mexican specialties offered here.

Coyote Flaco has hard as well as soft tacos, highly rated fajitas and a great taco salad in a crispy nest flour tortilla. Rotisserie chicken plain or prepared in a variety of ways has been added more recently.

Besides Mexican beer, a whole list of flavored margaritas and a variety of tequilas are available as well as other specialty drinks.

Hours are 4 to 11 p.m. Monday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday and 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

In the same neck of the woods, it’s the 13th season for outdoor eating at Michael’s Famous Pan Pizza. In the summer of 1998, owner Michael Iacobelli transformed an overgrown lot behind his restaurant at 125 Midland Ave. into a lovely outdoor eatery. It features 12 ornate dark green wrought iron tables and matching chairs on a red brick patio surrounded by a decorative fence fitted with painted panels depicting varied scenes from Tuscany. To complete the effect, concrete was painted to look like stucco or old tiles.

The patio, shaded by overhanging trees and naturally decorated by climbing grape vines growing over the walls enclosing it, features red artificial begonias on the tables, light bulbs strung across the space for ambient lighting at night and a pretty bar with a granite top and wrought iron stools to match the chairs. Large, old-looking pots of deep pink geraniums sit at the patio’s entrance.

Michael’s offers fine Italian cuisine including appetizers, soups, salads, as well as pasta, chicken, veal, beef, pork and fish entrées.

The house salad with homemade dressing is exceptional. Several hot sandwiches, including burgers, are also available. And of course the restaurant continues to serve the wonderful thin-crusted pan pizza Michael’s has always been known for.

Michael’s is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.

Also on Midland Avenue, you can eat outdoors at Garden Catering, which opened in May 2001 in the shopping center at #140. In fact, at Garden Catering there’s only the choice of eating outside at one of six round green tables with matching chairs shaded by green umbrellas positioned on the sidewalk in front of the eatery or taking out because there are no tables indoors. No flowers have been planted to spruce up this outdoor venue this year.

Port Chester natives Frank Carpenteri and Kevin Keegan and Port Chester resident Mario Medina offer chicken, ribs and other freshly made foods to take out at this fast food restaurant. Garden Catering offers 100% white meat chicken nuggets and French fries, cones, onion rings, battered mushrooms or zucchini; fried chicken by the pound or platter, fried shrimp, filet of sole, spare ribs, chili dogs, hamburgers, turkey burgers, quesadillas, homemade chili, hot and cold sandwiches and wraps, salads, soups and desserts for lunch and dinner. There are also daily specials.

For breakfast you can choose from a variety of egg sandwiches and platters, wraps, omelets, home fries, bacon, sausage, muffins, ba-

gels and doughnuts.

Garden Catering is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Three years ago Douglas, Steven and Barbara Zaccagnini of Greenwich bought the former J.P.’s Standby Drive-in next to what used to be Cumberland Farms at 604 North Main St. and renamed it Dougie’s Standby. Brothers Douglas, 29, and Steven, 25, are running it. Doug said he worked at J.P.’s since he was 13 when he started out washing dishes and worked there on and off for 13 years. So when he and his mother had the opportunity to buy it, they did.

Dougie’s has a covered outdoor eating area with three natural wood picnic tables overlooking the By-

melos Restaurant & Tortilleria, The Kneaded Bread and, new this year, Inca & Gaucho, Acuario, Tandoori and Tarry Market Café. The village board passed legislation allowing for this use of public sidewalks in May 1997 and modified that legislation in June 2010.

Permitted hours of operation for sidewalk cafés are from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday from May 1 through Oct. 31.

Besides paying $100, restaurant owners must provide proof of liability insurance holding the village harmless and a drawing showing the arrangement of tables and barriers they plan to put out. There must be a minimum distance of five feet free of obstructions on the sidewalk for adequate and safe pedestrian movement. This distance may be reduced

sun. Here you can bring your takeout food and eat outside or enjoy a beverage while waiting for a table inside.

Besides all types of pizza, T&J serves appetizers, pasta, soups, salads, wedges and other Italian meat and seafood dishes, including daily specials. Pasta Craze where you get a choice of several pasta dishes plus a salad for $12.95 is popular on Wednesday nights. Homemade lemon, rainbow, cherry, mango and chocolate Italian ice is a treat during the summer.

The restaurant is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 11 p.m.

Dougie’s continues to offer typical American grilled breakfast and lunch specialties and is known for its hot dogs, burgers, steak sandwiches and homemade chili. A veggie burger and additional sandwiches are also on the menu. A sign in the window indicates that Dougie’s is now serving pancakes with blueberries, strawberries or bananas.

J.P.’s reopened four years ago this month after having been closed for renovations following the death of owner John Pellino at the end of April. His son, Joseph Pellino, and Joseph Alexander spruced up the place and expanded the menu but only stayed in business for a year.

Dougie’s is open from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Subway and Wah Yuan Chinese Restaurant up on the hill in the shopping plaza at 262 Boston Post Rd. have also placed a few tables on the sidewalk out front during the warm weather for customers who choose to eat their orders outside.

Customers of Burger King next door at 260 Boston Post Rd. also have the option of eating on the patio out front at three red picnic tables with benches. The outdoor tables are located adjacent to an attractive grassy area with bushes in the middle of it.

Sidewalk cafés

Nine eating establishments have received permits to put tables on public sidewalks in the Village of Port Chester this season: Sam’s Bar & Grill, T&J Pizza & Pasta, Frankie & Louie’s Restaurant & Pizzeria, which when I checked did not have any tables set up outside; Los Ge-

to three feet in width for a distance not to exceed 25 feet in length.

The Office of the Village Clerk is authorized to issue an annual permit for the seasonal operation of a sidewalk café after the application has been reviewed and approved by the Building Department. Applications may be picked up at the Village Clerk’s Office inside the front door to your left at 222 Grace Church St. A small outdoor eating area has been set up for the 14th year—since village law first allowed for it—adjacent to the Byram River in front of Sam’s Bar & Grill at 1 Mill St. Last year the restaurant’s new owners enlarged it. There is one round tan table with matching chairs shaded by a black Amstel Light umbrella and one square table with the same chairs. Red window boxes on the outside of the building planted with yellow flowers and new green awnings add charm to this quaint little spot.

Dennis and Casey Schack of Byram and Steve Hanrahan of Croton-on-Hudson took over ownership from Karen and Sam Harris last March and are continuing to serve American bar food. You can still feast on juicy burgers and strip steak as well as sandwiches, nachos, quesadillas, burritos, chicken wings, soups, salads, blackened chicken and beer-battered shrimp.

Bar hours are 4 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, noon to 3:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Food is served from opening until at least midnight.

T&J Pizza & Pasta at 227 Westchester Ave. has pretty much the same setup for outdoor eating this season as it did the last nine years. Two round inlaid stone tables for two with black metal ice cream chairs are offset by three evergreens potted in stone planters surrounded by flowers. T&J’s red and green awning provides protection from the

green tables with matching chairs on the sidewalk out front for the third year. Four tall potted bamboo plants surround them and make quite a showing. Two Mexican flags fly from the front of the building.

Here you can take the food you order at this authentic Mexican eatery and eat it al fresco.

The menu includes burritos, sopes, tostadas, tortas, tacos, taquitos, flautas, quesadillas, combination platters, fajitas, enchiladas, soups as well as seafood and steak entrées.

Hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.

Owners of The Kneaded Bread bakery and sandwich shop at 181 North Main St. had been waiting four years to get approval to open a sidewalk café. They finally got it last year. In order for that to occur, the zoning in that area had to be changed from its outdated manufacturing designation and the local law governing sidewalk cafés had to be changed allowing a narrower right of way for pedestrians on the sidewalk where the café is located.

A new law was adopted last June.

Since they’ve brought their business to downtown Port Chester, Jennifer and Jeffrey Kohn, who now live in Rye Brook, have always done things right, offering only first class products and service to their customers and keeping their bakery and later their restaurant Q in tiptop shape. So it’s not surprising that they have done the same with their sidewalk café. Since The Kneaded Bread is located on a corner, they were able to place tables on both North Main and Mill streets, a total of nine round silver metal tables with matching silver metal mesh chairs. The tables are situated close to the building, with five on Mill and four on Main, under large blue and white striped awnings. Boxes of potted plants—dark pink geraniums,

Continued from page 8 purple petunias, coleus and other greens—serve as a buffer from the street and create a pleasant ambiance. As a nice touch, a bowl of dog food and another of water placed outside the entrance show that dogs are welcome in this space.

The Kneaded Bread offers all kinds of artisanal breads, rolls, croissants, muffins, scones, cupcakes, cookies, brownies and dessert bars made on the premises as well as premade sandwiches, salads, and homemade soups. Their gazpacho and curried chicken salad are among my favorite things to eat anywhere.

Hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m.

During the past year the Kohns have taken over the space next door on Mill Street that was vacated by Amir Market for their baking operation. At some future date they are planning to expand their bakery and sandwich stop into the store next door on Main Street so they will have more space for seating and can expand the lunch menu.

For the first time this year, Inca & Gaucho has set up four tables for two behind a buffer that is white on the outside and, at the request of the village, has the Inca & Gaucho logo on the inside at 173 Westchester Ave., right next to Los Gemelos.

Three tables are square black metal ones and one is a square wooden one, all with black folding chairs.

They are shaded by two yellow Corona Light umbrellas and are set with round red placemats, white plates and white paper napkins. The Uruguayan flag flies from the front of the building.

Billed as a seafood restaurant and steakhouse, Inca & Gaucho serves up food from both Peru and Uruguay. That includes ceviche, empanadas, salads, soups, chicken dishes like pollo a la brasa and pollo saltado as well as lomo saltado and tallarin saltado, beef dishes like bistek encebollado and a variety of seafood dishes. Likewise, Inca & Gaucho serves a variety of grilled meats which are a specialty of Uruguay. In fact, they have the best skirt steak around and you can’t beat the price. There is a nice blending of nationalities here, both Latinos and non-Latinos.

Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Acuario Cevicheria y mas at 173 North Main St. has also set up shop on the sidewalk for the first time this year. They have put out four square silver tables with matching chairs separated by five potted evergreens offset with purple and yellow flowers set in attractive wooden planters.

Acuario is known for its variety of ceviche, or seafood cocktails, all fresh and delicious, but they also have other Peruvian seafood specialties like Cau Cau de Mariscos (mixed seafood steamed in aji Amarillo, mint, cilantro, parsley and curry sauce), beef specialties like Lomo Saltado, chicken specialties like Tallarin Verde con Pollo as well as appetizers and salads.

Hours are Monday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight when they have a deejay, Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 11 am. to 9:30 p.m.

Tandoori Taste of India next door at 163 North Main St. only recently began its outdoor dining this year, bringing it back after having tried it a number of years ago and then stopping for a bunch of years.

Two weeks ago on a Saturday night owner Bharat Patel was testing the waters. Although he has permission to do more, so far he has just placed four tables for 10 with white cloths and yellow and red metal chairs

Number of outdoor eating spots has climbed to an even forty which had been used at F.I.S.H. on the sidewalk on the Highland Street side of his restaurant. They are covered by two colorful patterned umbrellas in brown, yellow, green and red. Six shrubs on trellises in square pots shield the area from passersby.

Patel was cooking in a Tandoor oven using charcoal on the sidewalk for his customers—both a leg of lamb and beef kabobs. However, I’m sure you could get anything on the restaurant’s extensive menu of Indian specialties in all degrees of spiciness. Besides beef, chicken, lamb and seafood dishes, Tandoori also makes a good number of vegetarian specialties.

Tandoori is open Sunday through Friday from 12 to 3 p.m. with its lunch/brunch buffet and from 5-10 p.m. seven days for dinner.

ingredients, which can get quite expensive, or you can go with a combination that has already been dreamed up and named such as Santa Fe, Monterey, Mexican or Cobb.

All of the dressings are homemade.

Besides salads, there are salad sandwiches in grilled honey wheat flatbread, soups, different types of chips, blondies and brownies, cookies, sea salt caramels and fruit cup.

Drinks include iced tea and lemonade, strawberry lemonade, as well as soda, Snapple and water.

Chop’t is open Monday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Joshua, Joel, Judy and Alan Elstein of Armonk opened Belle Fair

Tandoori Taste of India has revived the sidewalk dining it had offered several year ago, this time on the Highland Street side of the 163 North Main St. restaurant.

The Tarry Market Café down the street at 179 North Main was originally just selling prepared sandwiches, drinks and desserts you bought at the counter and then sat down and ate. However, now it is serving food at tables and has set up an outdoor café as well. There are four square black mesh metal tables with matching gray ice cream chairs on Main Street and another two around the corner on Mill Street.

They stand out because each has a white vase on it filled with white, yellow and red daisies. I’m not clear if there is table service outside as well.

Printed menus now show such delicacies as watermelon with cucumbers, mint and pistachios, Tarry granola with yogurt and blueberries, a coddled egg with truffles and toast, salads such as chicken with balsamic peaches and mozzarella, Panini such as lump crab with fontina and sweet peppers, a soup of the day and a selection of five cured meats or cheeses plus desserts, gelato, wine, coffees and teas, both cold and hot.

Tarry Café is located at the front of the gourmet shop that sells handcrafted artisanal food and many Italian imports. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Rye Brook

The newest restaurant with outdoor seating in Rye Brook is Chop’t Creative Salad Company in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center at 116 South Ridge St. which has only been open about a month. The restaurant, the first location of the chain in Westchester, has placed three square silver mesh tables with matching chairs to seat 10 people on the sidewalk out front where you can take your salad and eat it.

You can concoct your own salad at Chop’t with the large choice of

Country Market at 20 BelleFair Blvd. in May 2008 following a few months of renovations.

This family-run deli, market and café serves breakfast, lunch and dinner both inside and at three hexagonal picnic tables with attached benches on the patio right outside the market across from the Belle Fair Meeting House. Three additional square wooden picnic tables with attached benches sit on the sidewalk around the corner. Greenery and a stone wall beautify the area.

The market is open to the public, not just residents of the 12-year-old BelleFair residential development, located off Upper King Street.

The market features homemade soups, a salad bar where you pick your lettuce and ingredients, homemade dressings, and freshly made salads. They make sandwiches of all types on rye, 7 grain or sourdough bread as well as panini, wraps and baguettes. In addition, a grill menu is now available which includes hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries among other items as well as an after school all-white-meat chicken and fries or cones special.

For the summer, freshly brewed iced tea and lemonade as well as a mixture of the two and two flavors of iced coffee are available. There are also homemade cupcakes and other baked goods as well as vanilla YoCream frozen yogurt into which various fruit flavors can be swirled.

For breakfast you can get challah French toast, pancakes, 8-grain oatmeal, breakfast burritos, omelets, egg sandwiches, homemade muffins and Barrie House coffee in eight flavors.

Belle Fair Country Market, which also does catering, is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the summer.

Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. each day.

The best kept secret in Rye Brook and Port Chester remains Mulligans Bar & Grill at Doral Arrowwood Resort and Conference Center on Anderson Hill Road, which I discovered a decade ago. Here 15 wooden tables and chairs and a long bar with wooden stools are covered by a green and white awning behind the golf shop overlooking the ninth hole of the golf course. The fare includes things like gazpacho, salads, chicken quesadillas, Buffalo wings, chicken fingers, sandwiches, wraps, beef, turkey and vegetable burgers. There are also daily specials such as a California shrimp wrap and seared sesame crusted yellow fin tuna over a bed of lettuce with Asian seaweed salad and a teriyaki dipping sauce as well as a children’s menu.

Mulligans’ drink menu features five flavors of margaritas with five different rim ringers, frozen drinks like daiquiris as well as wine and beer. There are also non-alcoholic coolers, iced tea, lemonade or a mixture of the two, Mulligans punch and a pomegranate refresher.

Mulligan’s is open Sunday through Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Wednesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Columbus Day. As part of the total renovation of the former Pizza & Brew in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center at 136 South Ridge St. four years ago, patio doors were installed at the front of the restaurant that can open during good weather and allow for eating outdoors. This year numerous square white marble tables for two with black wicker chairs are set up on the sidewalk enclosed by black borders that read Racanelli’s Pizzeria Restaurant, the Italian eatery’s current name. The name change corresponded with the restaurant’s upgrade.

Racanelli’s serves up soft and chewy New York pizza, combination pies, Napoletana individual thin crust brick oven pizzas, all kinds of pastas, other Italian favorites made with chicken, veal, shrimp, eggplant and sausage, chef specials as well as appetizers, sandwiches, flame broiled burgers, hand crafted salads, pizza rolls and calzones.

Racanelli’s is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The sidewalk café at Inca & Gaucho, located at 173 Westchester Ave., is new this year. ball and cold borscht as well as French onion and chili, salad platters and entrée salads, hot open sandwiches, half pound burgers, fried specialties, dairy delicacies, vegetarian delights and beef, fish and poultry dinners.

You can also get anything you can think of for breakfast, including challah bread French toast, Belgian waffles, blintzes and matzoh brie as well as bacon and eggs, omelets, oatmeal and breakfast burritos.

Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Sunday through Wednesday, 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

For the second year Starbucks, also at Rye Ridge, has put two round black metal mesh tables with black metal and wood chairs in front of its coffee shop at 118

Racanelli’s Pizzeria Restaurant has the most visible plein air dining spot in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center.

Rye Ridge Deli, also in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center at 126 South Ridge St., was back bigger and better four summers ago following its expansion and also placed more tables out front for plein air eating than before. This year there are five silver mesh round metal tables with a total of 17 matching chairs provided for customers who choose to take their food outside.

The menu continues to feature huge sandwiches of every variety, over-stuffed combination and specialty sandwiches, soups like home style chicken noodle matzoh

South Ridge St. where customers can sip coffee, latte or any number of other hot and cold drinks and nibble on baked goods while they people watch.

Starbucks is open 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. seven days a week.

During the warm weather customers of The Club Sandwich, which opened in April 2000 at 7 Rye Ridge Plaza, around the back of the Rye Ridge Shopping Center, have the option of eating outside at one of four square black metal tables with matching chairs. Two of them are shaded by the sand-

wich shop’s green awning.

Sean Quinn of Rye assumed ownership of the local eatery in February 2005.

The Club Sandwich offers a tremendous variety of sandwiches of all types, from simple roast beef on rye to smoked salmon with egg salad, horseradish sauce, capers, onions, lettuce, tomato and bacon on a tortilla. The gourmet sandwich shop serves Boar’s Head deli meats on its sandwiches and offers nine different choices of bread on which they can be made.

Besides all the usual and not so usual cold cuts, cheeses and salads, 34 finishing touches may be added to create your own sandwich or you can choose from a menu of 50 concoctions which have already been dreamed up.

Their spicy Texas chili with or without onions and cheese is also a good bet. At least two different soups are also offered each day.

Quinn added six different salads-tossed, chicken, Cobb, chicken Caesar, Buffalo and goat cheese— to the offerings when he took over.

Last year he added a selection of pasta, mixed bean, seafood, potato and other homemade salads which are displayed in their case. A list of new wraps is displayed in the window.

Breakfast sandwiches, muffins, croissants, pastries, crumb cake, bagels, coffees and teas make up the breakfast menu.

Hours are Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Up the hill in the shopping center at 200 South Ridge St., Lenny’s Bagels also provides outdoor seating for its patrons.

Four round silver metal tables with matching silver chairs afford space for 10 to munch on Lenny’s homemade bagels, bagel sandwiches with all types of salad and meat fillings, soups, salads and gourmet desserts. There are breakfast specials, daily lunch specials and now chicken nuggets, fingers and breaded chicken cutlets from the fryer. During the summer cold gazpacho and cucumber dill soups are usually on the menu. As cool seasonal beverages, Lenny’s offers iced tea and iced coffee.

Hours are Monday through Saturday from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
