Buyers from New York City are forever asking me if there is any nightlife in Westchester? And the answer is YES THERE IS!
Downtown White Plains is bustling 24/7 these days and for those who enjoy the active night life of New York City, having such a hub near at hand makes the adjustment to more sedate suburban living far more enjoyable. I will not try to compare what White Plains has to offer to Broadway and the Metropolitan Opera House. In the end, there is only ONE Manhattan, but the amenities of that particular city are just minutes away by train. But if you don’t feel like making the trip to Manhattan, there is nightlife here in Westchester.
Previously, I mentioned a couple of points of interest that are putting Westchester on the map culturally:
The first was a posting about how the Westchester Philharmonic will soon be under the baton of Itzhak Perlman who will become the new artistic director starting in the 2008-2009 season. The second was a post regarding the White Plains Performing Art Center at 11 City Place, White Plains, NY 10601 - right inside the City Center. the WPPAC has been coming into its own and hit a milestone when Robert Cuccioli stared in The Man of La Mancha in several performances last December. With fine dining such as Level 42, BLT and Legal Seafood close at hand, many choose to make White Plains their destination of Friday and Saturday nights.
And to show that there is life after 8 PM – here are some photos of downtown White Plains after 11:30-12:AM PM on a Tuesday night…..Even though it was early in the week, the streets still had pedestrians strolling around and I was taking pictures around the traffic as best I could. The Pictures feature the newly built up area around the City Center and Renaissance Square. The lighting at the Ritz Carlton wasn't that conducive to late night photos, but I was able to get some excellent shots of the City Center.

Old meets new at the Bar Building White Plains, NY
Art Nouveau at its best mixes it up with the new modern buildings.
It was spared demolition to make way for the Ritz Carlton mostly because of concerned citizens.
Mixing Old and new again...Zanaro's is housed in an old bank with an ornate facade typical of Art Nouveau.
