Out and About in Scarsdale Village

We strolled around the Village this week and were pleased to find lots of activity, with some spaces under construction and others getting updates.

On Spencer Place, next to I Am More Scarsdale, Craft Barbers is planning to open in the space formerly occupied by the Eye Gallery, which has now moved to Boniface Circle.

For now there is only a poster in the window announcing the plan. However we reached out to the owners and here is what they shared about a new location for me, coming this winter.

Here is what they shared about Craft Barbers who currently has another location on Kraft Avenue in Bronxville.

“Established in 2021, Craft Barbers is dedicated to redefining the grooming experience. Our premium barbershop combines timeless old-school charm with a contemporary edge. In addition to classic barbering services, we offer signature hot shaves and a dedicated shampoo area, perfect for fitting your haircut into a busy schedule. Our user-friendly booking system ensures a seamless appointment process. Enjoy complimentary coffee and drinks as you relax in our modern, inviting space. We look forward to welcoming the community when we open our doors in winter 2024.

We are working with a local Scarsdale resident (Kahn Architecture and Design). They are the company we used when opening One Rare Italian Steakhouse and I am so pleased to work with them again. I know with Michael and Heidi's pristine vision and execution, Craft Barbers of Scarsdale will not only bring the best haircutting experience, but also bring a visually pleasing aesthetic to the beautiful town of Scarsdale.”

Just up the street, at the corner of East Parkway and Spencer Place it appears that the ever-popular Parkway Diner is receiving a facelift. They are closed this week while Fabio and his team repaint and spruce things up.

At 20 Chase Road, signs for a new location for the Bagel Emporium were posted last spring. We poked our head in and found busy construction crews at work to build out the space. Though we inquired we were not able to find out an expected opening date.

Later that evening, we decided to try out the new outdoor tables at Micheline on Scarsdale Avenue. We were pleased to find a patio overlooking the street as well as more tables in the alley outside. On Tuesdays, or “Tini Tuesdays” your burger and fries come with a martini for $39. They have also added options for kids including pasta and chicken tenders as well as brunch on Fridays through Sundays from 11 am – 5 pm. Check them out on the next warm night.
