It’s Fun in the Sun

The warm weather is here! You know what that means? More time to be outside, and Westchester isn’t shy of opportunity. In this issue, we celebrate family adventure by offering a jam-packed itinerary, from outdoor eateries to amusement, to parks and activities for all ages. And as the sun keeps shining, we invite you to enjoy every moment.

Westchester is full of delicious food. Does the summer call for seafood? Stop in at one of the fresh seafood establishments. Feeling like a summer BBQ? We’ve got restaurants that craft the perfect hot dogs, hamburgers, and milkshakes. Of course, we can’t forget about the most important meal of the day, breakfast! There are plenty of unique breakfast sandwiches around the county to start your morning with in anticipation of your exciting day.

Let’s not forget that summer means open-toe shoes. Need a little summer refresh? There’s a list of salons waiting to give you a manicure or pedicure. We’ve also scouted out the best breweries made for sunny sips, farmers markets to stock the fridge, and can’t-miss pop-ups, concerts, and events to fill your calendar with joy. Plus, don’t miss our shopping guide for fresh finds that add a little extra freshness to the summer, and search for that perfect wedding venue that’ll shine brighter than the sun.

Here’s to a season of excitement. So whether you’re looking for pampered bliss or being sun-kissed, a family affair or rides that scare, or a walk in the park to fill your heart, we are here to guide you. Your adventure starts now.

Have a warm, happy summer,

– Nina N. Harrison, Publisher
