People often ask me about fine dining in Westchester NY. The New York City dining experience has been finding its way northward to Westchester County. This might be news to Manhattanites – for whom Westchester has always seemed to be some sort of backwater destination. White Plains restaurants boast several transplants from Manhattan. Downtown White Plains is a location where high-end shopping and entertainment are the order of the day. Now, there truly can only be one Manhattan – but White Plains and other destinations in Westchester can no longer be considered truly suburban. Westchester is a mix of suburban life with NYC amenities.
To that end, one of Manhattan’s most distinctive dining attractions, Via Quadronno, opened its doors in White Plains at the corner of Renaissance Square and Main Street – next door to the two 42 story towers that are the Ritz Carlton. The location in the famous Art Nouveau Barr Building provides an interesting background standing next to the mirrored glass and sleek steel of the Ritz Carlton. That mix of old and new is very typical of the “new” White Plains.

The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fare is distinctly Italian and includes their famous panini sandwiches, espresso, a wide variety of coffee drinks and ice creams. Via Quadronno adds White Plains, NY to its very select group of markets that includes the upper east side of Manhattan, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Miami.
The restaurant is open from 8 AM on weekdays with the kitchen closing at 10:30 PM. On the weekends, the hours are 9 AM to 11:30 PM. Indoor dining seats 80 while the outdoor dining area pictured below seats 60 additional patrons during the warmer weather. Reservations can be made on-line at www.opentable.com.
