Port Chester, NY has Great New Restaurants Port Chester is really being put on the map as far as restaurants goes. You may have heard of celebrity chef Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich opening up Tarry Lodge in the Fall of 2008. If you have not been there yet, I suggest going. I love a good thin crust pizza and the Goat Cheese with Pistachios and Truffle Honey Pizza was delicious. Tarry Lodge's menu will be a welcome change from the tired Italian restaurants who serve "chicken parm" and other Americanized Italian food. "Secondi" or main dishes range from $19-29. Tarry Market and Tarry Wine have opened up around the corner. You can buy authentic European meats, cheeses, pastas and wine.

We have just closed on 155 North Regent Street in Port Chester, and to celebrate that closing I'll post a rundown of the real estate market in that distinguished village. Port Chester has a warm place in my heart. It was where "the office" was where my father worked when I was a child. Whenever I think of Port Chester, I think of my Dad, young and healthy.  Port Chester borders Greenwich, Connecticut on the Byram River. It has a very vibrant, charming downtown, and plenty of pre-war architecture.  It has some fantastic dining, including the Willett House, which I have posted on before. One notable landmark of the village is the "Lifesaver Building," a condominium which was the actual home of Lifesavers candy when I was a kid.     On to the data: There are 94 single family homes availabl... 03/23/2010
