cjg1 Says: The River Walk begins by Ebb Tide Restaurant and extends down past Costco. The River Walk has some nice benches and shaded areas to sit back and enjoy the view. We often find ourselves sitting on a bench after a delicious seafood meal at Ebb Tide or some BBQ from Q.

Sichuan Pavilion: Pricey but Incredible Chinese Food
cjg1 Says: Sichuan Pavillion is an extremely tiny Chinese Restaurant. I would say they could fit maybe 12 people in the place. We've dined in before but you need to come early; tables fill up fast for the diner hour. The place is usually filled with locals like us and the manager knows...

Euro Asian: Surprisingly Good Asian Food

Tortilleria Los Gemelos: Best Mexican Food in this part of the Country
cjg1 Says: The food here is amazing; authentic Mexican cuisine (do not expect Tex-Mex or Americanized food this is the real deal). The restaurant itself leaves a LOT to be desired. But this too is what makes it such a treasure.After having been on my to do list for about a year before...

cjg1 Says: It's relatively easy to get to Port Chester by car. There are Port Chester exits off of I-95, 287 and the Merritt parkway. Driving around Port Chester gives you the option of seeing some neighborhoods and areas that you'd miss if you took a bus, train or tried walking.

Helpfulness
One of my favorite places in Port Chester is Ebb Tide. Beside the incredible seafood I love that they have outdoor seating right by the water. Liz and I enjoy a nice meal in the beautiful sunshine after a long day at work.
**Ebb Tide closed much to our dissapointment. Some Neuvo Mexican restaurant is taking it's place. I think we'll skip it since Port Chester is full of good, cheap Mexican restuarants so why pay high prices.**

Helpfulness
Unfortunately, Portchester has a large population of illegal immigrants and migrant workers milling around certain areas during the day and into the late night. These areas are prone to crime and problems so it's best o avoid Main Street, the lower end of Westchester Avenue and Poningo Street. Many men are milling about and hanging out on the lawn of the local community Church that also provides imirant services. I'm not trying to stereotype but even in the early afternoon there are groups of men drunk on the lawn of the church harrassing passers by. This has increased significantly over the past year and I no longer allow Liz to walk by herself; there have been to many problems in the area.
So if you are visiting Portchester avoid these areas when travelling alone or just drive.

When most people think of Port Chester they don't think of boating....but Port Chester has a nice sized Marina with plenty of boats for fishing, pleasure cruises or personally owned. The marina has a nice river walk and it's a nice place to hang out at sun set.
