You know what they say: new year, new restaurants. At least that’s true in Westchester County. In 2024, there are a few notable additions that locals can look forward to in the 914. These establishments are being brought to life by renowned chefs, serving up local ingredients, and offering options for a wide range of palates. The only question left is…where will you dine first?
Saigon Table
12 Purdy Ave, Rye
Lynn Lee, a novice restaurateur, is partnering up with industry expert Eugene Lum to open a 20-seat fast casual Vietnamese restaurant. Lee, who was born in Saigon, is excited to bring the flavors and recipes from her childhood to Westchester while cooking with organic produce and pasture-raised, antibiotic-free meats and poultry. Customers can choose to order their meals on a kiosk or at the counter, where they can select from a menu featuring Vietnamese summer rolls, classic pho bo soup, and bahn mi sandwiches. Additionally, there will be a small bar serving up fresh, signature cocktails to pair with your meal. Saigon Table is expected to open around March.

Liebman Deli
Ardsley
Liebman Deli has been serving up its famous pastrami sandwich, matzo ball soup, and potato latkes in the Bronx for 70 years. The Kosher deli has remained a foodie landmark since its opening in 1953 and has since decided to expand its delicacies to the 914. Westchester can expect a replica of the original Liebman Deli in terms of look and bites. Customers will be greeted by its retro yet minimalistic and modern restaurant design, thanks to business partner Craig Weitz. Ardsley’s newest deli will hopefully be opening in the next six weeks.
