Some Like it Hot: The Scarsdale Sidewalk Sale Brings Shoppers to the Village

Despite soaring temperatures, Scarsdale residents flocked to the Village for the annual 2023 Summer Sidewalk Sale for fabulous, discounted deals. Each year the Scarsdale Business Alliance, a non-profit organization that supports local businesses, hosts the event to get the community engaged with local stores, restaurants, and businesses. This year the Sidewalk Sale was held from Thursday, July 27th through Saturday, July 29th.

Each day residents visited town favorites—Bronx River Books, Mixology, Rothmans, The Dark Horse—to take advantage of the annual sales. Rothmans, a high-end, family-owned, and operated men’s clothing store, was particularly popular for its extravagant sales. Other businesses that participated in the event include Amanda Arbeter Art, Eye Gallery of Scarsdale, Great Stuff, Learning Express and more.

In addition to supporting local retail stores, residents stopped by the Dine the ‘Dale tent to grab a bite from local restaurants. On each day of the sale, the Village was proud to host one of three food vendors: Popojito, the WingKing Truck, and the YumBro Food Truck. Popojito served chicken kabobs and a variety of delicious tacos; the WingKing Truck—one of Westchester’s new food trucks—sold wings, fries, and chicken fingers; and the YumBro Food Truck exposed Scarsdale to an assortment of Asian Fusian.

On Saturday, July 29th, families visited the tent to enjoy various family-friendly activities, including a balloon artist, face painting, caricature art, and musical activities with Bach to Rock, a Music School based in Mamaroneck. Bach to Rock will be having a grand opening in their new Scarsdale location in mid-August. At the end of the event, Scarsdale residents walked away with not only new goods but a sense of anticipation for next year’s Summer Sidewalk Sale.
