Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Croton Falls

Vida was packed last night. 💃🏻 This is a brand new restaurant in Thornwood by the talented husband and wife duo at Augustine’s in Mamaroneck… Brianne Myers and Marc Taxiera. I love them as humans and am in awe of what they do as creatives/restauranteurs. I was worried about this newest endeavor only because their presence, in addition to incredible food, is such an integral part of Augustine’s success. How will they be able to nurture this baby as beautifully as their first? After visiting last night with a few friends, I no longer have any fears. Vida has been open a month and it felt like it had been operating successfully for years. I am neck deep in Christmas everything, but I am just so happy for Brianne and Marc, but also for Westchester. We needed some new “Vida” around these parts. Will def include comments under the photos. One more thing… omg the food. Oh and the glassware. and the patio that we will all enjoy in the Spring! ok… gotta go! So many gorgeous details. (Can’t wait to return.) Originally posted on Westchester Foodies on Facebook.

My sister and I decided to visit Bear Mountain for High Tea in memory of our Mom who was born in London. We had a lovely time. The tea selection was plentiful and both were delicious. Then the tower of finger sandwiches and goodies arrived - everything was wonderful. And the surroundings within and outside the Bear Mountain Inn are gorgeous. Thanks for a special time!

was a very nice casual ambiance. The staff was very attentive and the food was good quality with diverse choices.

Excellent brunch! Great service, as usual! Will return again!

First time at Gleason’s and we were not disappointed. Our waiter was extremely attentive and the service was the best we had had in a very long time. The food and drinks were excellent as well as the entertainment. We will definitely be going back soon.
