Normally robust restaurant scenesuffering temporary setback

Usually I'm writing about all the great new restaurants opening in Port Chester and Rye Brook, most recently focusing on Saltaire and Café Mirage. Unfortunately in recent weeks more eateries have closed than opened, a sad sign for what had been a robust restaurant scene regularly experiencing turnover as every community does.

The latest scoop on Piero's,Port Chester Hall and Patsy's

On Sept. 12, Port Chester Hall at the train station changed its name to Heartland Black + Gold. With the name change came a light renovation removing the train theme and a new menu.
Restaurant comings and goings

I like to keep foodies abreast of what's happening in the local restaurant world-not only what's opened but what has closed and what they can look forward to in the future. In that vein, one coffee shop and restaurant has shut its doors and two other ventures are in the works.
Encore Bistro: Classic French food in nearby Rye

Many ethnic cuisines are represented by the restaurants doing business in Port Chester and Rye Brook, but surprisingly French, with its long and rich history, is not one of them.
Makondo: Authentic Colombian bakery and restaurant also has wider appeal

What makes Port Chester's restaurant scene so rich is the diversity of its ethnic choices. With the smorgasbord of Central and South American folks living in and around the village, the Latino restaurants need only cater to people of the same nationality as the food they are serving to survive.

Chili hot spots

In the dead of winter, when the temperature is in the teens and the wind chill factor lowers it to the single digits, what's better to warm up your insides than a good hot bowl of chili.
Frankie's gone, but Frankie & Louie's neighborhood eatery still going strong

When I think of Frankie & Louie's, consistency comes to mind-their superb lasagna, savory house salad with gorgonzola cheese, fantastic warm, crunchy bread with sesame seeds, huge portions, reasonable prices and scrumptious homemade desserts.
Lolita makes quick change to Rouge in nearby Byram

After four years, diners can say adios to Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar, located just across the Mill Street Bridge in Byram, and bonjour to Rouge Brasserie and Oyster Bar.

The newest, Pollos al Carbon los Gemelos at 6 North Pearl St., is Ramirez's latest creation.
