Out with the old, in with the new!
Downtown White Plains Comes To An End
All good things must come to an end, and today marks the end of Restaurant Month!
We’ve had an amazing time visiting local restaurants and sharing their highlights with you. The variety of dishes we’ve sampled has been incredible! We appreciate everyone who shared positive feedback about their experiences. If you visited any participating restaurants this month, we invite you to complete the Restaurant Month Bucket List and share it with us on your stories. We’d love to see your foodie adventures!
If you haven’t had the chance to visit any restaurants yet, we still encourage you to come downtown and sample dishes from the participating establishments. The great thing about Restaurant Row is that it’s available in Downtown White Plains all year round. So if there’s a dish you’re interested in, it’s likely that the restaurant offers it on their regular menu. In fact, some restaurants, such as Chazz Palminteri and Morton’s Steakhouse, are extending their Restaurant Month promotions! You can find more details in the “Steals and Deals” section of the newsletter. And save the date for our upcoming foodie events, Wing Walk in April and our Rock the Block series in the summer!
As we wrap up Restaurant Month 2025, there’s no need to worry, more promotions and annual events are on the way! As always, stay tuned and keep an eye on your inbox for more Discover White Plains news!
