Like most big cities, White Plains takes on a different pulse in the evening when the warm weather arrives. The streets are alive with residents and visitors happy to be sharing the warm summer night and sense of community that pervades the promenade.

Longer days and warmer temperatures make the perfect combination for al fresco dining. Mamaroneck Avenue, a main thoroughfare of White Plains, is lined with a plethora of restaurants -  from pubs and sports bars to steakhouses - that offer a great meal outdoors.

Lazy Boy Saloon on Mamaroneck Avenue is a must-visit if only to see if all it accolades are true – it has been rated as One Of The Top 150 Beer Bars In The Nation, Voted "Westchester County's hall of fame for best beer selection", the 21st of the "56 Must Do" things in Westchester County, Best Chicken Wings and Best Place to hear music.

New to Mamaroneck Avenue is Cheeburger Cheeburger. The lines are long for this national restaurant chain day and night. Ron Blacks and Hudson Grill both offer a convivial atmosphere, a wide selection of adult beverages and food.

At the top of Mamaroneck Avenue is the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which houses BLT Steak, a well-know Manhattan name, on the street-level of the hotel, while the top floor showcases 42, serving up contemporary American cuisine and panoramic views of Westchester.
