Local Favorites including:
      • WINGS: Candlelight Inn (Most amazing wings ever and awesome waffle fries.  This place is always crowded so expect a wait but it'll be worth it.  A 10 minute drive down Central Ave from White Plains. They now deliver within a certain radius and have a new take out location next door.)

  • Emma's Ale House:
68 Gedney Way

  • Hudson Grille
165 Mamaroneck Ave
White Plains, NY 10601
(914) 997-2000

522 Mamaroneck Ave
White Plains, NY 10601
