At this Bonnie Saran co-owned, 22 seat-crêperie, wedged between Little Spice Bazaar and Little Kabab Station, “Look for classic or choose-your-own-filling crêpes made with locally raised produce from Red Jacket Orchards,” says Sexton. “Specialty coffees are from BonJo Coffee, a Port Chester roaster.”

“Look for a thronged, ladies-who-lunch crowd at this perennial Mount Kisco pleaser that offers shabby-chic vintage décor and generous portions,” advises Sexton. “Be warned: Café of Love is so cozy that your single lunch hour might stretch into two.”

“Westchester’s go-to Ethiopian place offers subtle spice with a smile,” says Sexton. “Look for complete meals of mounded curried meat, starch, and veg served on a platter-like round of injera bread. The trick is to wrap mouth-sized morsels in the injera without ruining your tie.”
