Coming and Going

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is opening on Main Street next to City Center in downtown White Plains. The chain has been rated by Zagat every year since 2001 and serves burgers made from fresh ground beef with your choice of toppings as well as fries cooked in peanut oil. They are represented in almost every state in the union and there will soon be one in our backyard.

However Peniche, a wine bar and tapas restaurant at 175 Main Street has closed pending a sale. A popular hangout, it was always crowded when we stopped by and it will be missed.

Also coming to Scarsdale, is Martine's Bakery. They currently run a very successful shop in Tuckahoe, across the street from the Crestwood Station where they sell breakfast pastries, fresh baked artisinal breads, soups, sandwiches, salads, espresso, cappuccino and specialty cakes. They will move into the space previously occupied by Rush Jewelers on East Parkway and are hoping to open before Easter. Baking will be done in Tuckahoe, reserving more space for customer seating at the Scarsdale location. Martine's will have tables inside -- and outside when the weather allows, and will be open from early morning to dinnertime, seven days a week.
