1) Some friends and I were planning on having dinner at Cafe of Love in Mt. Kisco this weekend, but I wasn’t able to get a reservation. Any suggestions for restaurants in Mt. Kisco/ Katonah that might take a last minute reservation?
3) After what’s seemed like months and months of inactivity, China Garden in Rye has finally opened its doors.
Not major news for anyone outside of Rye, but exciting as hell to me. Like any self-respecting Chinese person, I must be in close proximity to Chinese food at all times; a take-out joint is my equivalent of Linus’s security blanket.
China Garden’s still working out the kinks (the employees aren’t all that familiar with their menu yet), but I did get a decent hot and sour soup.
I’ll give them a few more weeks to get in the groove, and then I’m trying the ma po tofu, my litmus test for any Chinese restaurant.
4) Stew Leonard’s Wines in Yonkers is hosting Frank Pellegrino, owner of Rao’s Restaurant, for a wine tasting and cookbook signing on Saturday, Nov. 1st, from 2 – 4 pm. Here are the details.
5) Pour Cafe and Wine Bar has some weekly events you should check out, including “Tasting Tuesdays” (buy one flight, get the second half off), and “Wine Down Wednesdays” (1/2 price bottles of wine with the purchase of a 5 item or more cheese/charcuterie plate). Anthony, the owner, also mentioned that Pour’s customer base is 80% women. Guys, what are you waiting for — get over there!
Have a great weekend everyone!
