Yonkers Travel Guide

 travelfrosch Says:  Along the Yonkers waterfront is an understated memorial to the 23 Yonkers residents who were killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. At the south edge of the waterfront park, there is a stone with an engraved plaque. Beyond the stone,... 

 travelfrosch Says:  A gourmet restaurant in Yonkers? Believe it. Renowned chef Peter X. Kelly, originally from Yonkers, opened this remarkable place above the renovated Yonkers pier, offering tremendous views of the Hudson, the Palisades, and both the George Washington and Tappan Zee Bridges.... 

 travelfrosch Says:  In Yonkers, you can get pizza. Very good pizza. Some might even say "Famous" Pizza. Singas Pizza opened in 1967 in the Elmhurst section of Queens, and is generally regarded to be among the best pizza to be found in that borough. Since then, Singas has added "Famous" to its... 

 escko525 Says:  I have visited the location many other times before, food was good for its price. UNFORTUNATELY, today October 25, 2010; I visited the location, order my meal (teriaky wrap with pasta salad), the plate was place in front of me by the nice waitress lady, I look at my salad... 

 travelfrosch Says:  On the outside, this place doesn't look like much. Even on the inside, the cramped quarters might not inspire confidence. But the food is inexpensive and very good. When we visited, we had the good fortune of discovering the place wasn't just a take-out place for fried fish.... 

 Gypsystravels Says:  My family has been coming to this restaurant for years. It is here where my daughter at the tender age of 6 ate her first piece of Sushi. They serve Chinese Japanese dishes and their sushi is excellent, fresh and quite inexpensive. They have a really nice room in the back... 

 Gypsystravels Says:  Frank Pepe's is one of those places that started with one location in Connecticut and has grown to a few more locations including the first one here in Yonkers. The restaurant is quite large with huge booths (seats about 6-8 comfortably) along the parimeter of the restaurant... 

 Gypsystravels Says:  This is a small diner located here in Yonkers and was a place we'd come to often, especially for breakfast. The parking lot can get quite full, so make sure to get here early especially during the weekends to secure a spot and avoid a long wait for a table. This is really... 

 Gypsystravels Says:  Quite honestly I stumbled upon this restuarant while looking for places to eat in Yonkers on the AA IDine list. They were listed as having some good food at really good prices, so we decided to give it a try. I would definitely recommend the restaurant to anyone that is... 

 Gypsystravels Says:  Burke's was our favorite Sunday Brunch place, especially during a lazy cold winter Sunday. We'd usually wake up late and hop in the car for about a 10 minute drive and enjoy a really good selection of dishes. The dining area is quite large with really nice dark wood beams... 

 cjg1 Says:  This was my first time to this big diner on the "hill". Mont Olypus is situated on a hill overlooking central avenue. We wound up here simply because I was staarving and didn't feel like driving anymore. The diner is pretty big and we were seated at a nice booth in the... 

 cjg1 Says:  This place is a dive to say the least. I had been told that once this was a nice place with good hot dogs and a place you could take the family. Liz came here often as a child and as a teenager and had wanted to stop in. Horrified was the best way to describe it. The place... 

 cjg1 Says:  This is a place I find myself in more now that I've moved away from the area than I ever did when I lived just down the block. It is still close to family and we come here for many of our family dinners. The fact that it is an idine is always bonus.The owners of the place... 

 cjg1 Says:  Only one reason to be here. And its not the service drink or music. Being your typical loud dance club this is the only one on the strip of McLean Avenue. You can find a variety of drinks and snack food available early. Drinks and music continue after into the early morning... 

 Gypsystravels Says:  Yonkers has a station stop on the Metro North Hudson Line which make it an easy and fast way of getting to/from Yonkers with destinations south to NYC or north towards Poughkeepsie. The travel time to/from Yonkers and to/from NYC is between 25-31 minutes. The Metro North is...
