If we could gather food from all around the county to put together the ultimate Westchester picnic basket, these are the eats we choose.
Cheese
Dobbs and Bishop in Bronxville imports cheese from all around the world and offers local favorites as well. Their cheese platters, which feature meats, spreads, and fruit, are the perfect base to any picnic basket. If you are feeling creative, create your own platter by choosing cheese from their beautifully designed menu.

Sandwiches
When it comes to sandwiches, Roosters Market in White Plains cannot be missed. The extensive deli menu appeals to every hungry foodie in search of an ideal picnic basket sammie. The Peso, topped with chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, hash brown, and chipotle mayo, and Italian combo, topped with ham cappi, provolone, salami, peppers, pepperoni, soppressata, lettuce, tomato, and oil and vinegar, are two of their most popular sandwiches for good reason. Don’t forget to ask about their weekly specials.

No picnic basket is complete without dips and chips, the perfect pairing. Stop by one of the 10 DeCicco & Sons markets for their house-made spreads and chips. We can’t get enough of their spinach artichoke dip and addicting tortilla chips. Also grab a container of their mango salsa and you won’t regret it!
