Everyone needs a Date Night!

Giveaway to a few of my favorites!

By Rachel Fenty Macaroni Kid publisher January 21, 2015
Finding the time to sneak away has become such a chore lately. My husband and I spend more time trying to figure out where we want to go and what we want to do that by the time we go anywhere we are exhausted.  We have a few favorite spots but there are so many on my list of “Oh we should go there” that I have compiled them here and am looking forward to trying them all out in 2015. I have also listed some of my favorites as well.
Zeppoleme 321 North Main Street, Port Chester Tel. 914.481.5900
 Who doesn’t love Zeppoles? A little ball of fried heaven covered in white sweet powder. Zeppoleme has redesigned the neighborhood coffee shop with this little staple. Serving a wide variety of foods including panini and sandwhiches what a great place to sneak off to for lunch with my husband!
Equus Restaurant at Castle Hotel and Spa, 400 Benedict Ave. Tarrytown, Tel. 914-631-3646,
Who says you need to travel to stay overnight in a castle? When a girlfriend told me there was a castle right here in Tarrytown I had to see it for myself. With breath taking views and a mouth watering menu this is more than just a date night, so why not spend the night? Club Car restaurant and lounge-One Station Plaza, Mamaroneck  Tel. 914.777.9300
I was originally interested in visiting Club Car Restaurant because it is a re-purposed train station. I love history and old buildings so this was on my radar. Once I saw their menu online this quickly made it to my list of must try for 2015.

Sur La Table, 125 Westchester Ave. The Westchester, White Plains, Tel. (914) 220-9810
I love to cook and I love to learn new recipes and my husband has taken a interest in my love for cooking and he has started to try new recipes. What a great date night for him and I to go and take a cooking class at Sur La Table.  Visit the website for more information about the class and to register.

Melting Pot 30 Mamaroneck Ave, White Plains Tel. (914) 993-6358- 
The Melting Pot has quickly become our go to spot for a date night.  We love the Melting Pot because it forces us to sit down and just enjoy each other’s company while we dip, sip and cook our meal. Would you like a $25 dip certificate to the Melting Pot?  Follow directions below to enter to win.

Alamo Drafthouse 2548 Central Park Avenue, Yonkers, NY (914) 226-3082‎- One of the biggest challenges we are faced with when we go out is getting a babysitter. Quite often the babysitter costs us more than the actual date night. Alamo Drafthouse offers the best of both worlds. A quality meal and movie! Its 2 date nights in 1!! So skip the dinner than the movie and have dinner during your movie.

Westchester Broadway dinner theatre-Elmsford- the Westchester Broadway Dinner Theatre has become a staple date night for my husband and I who don’t always get the chance to go into NYC. The Dinner Theatre offers something you can’t find anywhere else in Westchester. With quality shows like South Pacific, Ragtime, Sound of Music and Guys and Dolls we have seen some amazing shows only being 15 minutes from home. The menu also has something for everyone. I am a fan of the prime rib and my husband always enjoys whatever fish dish is on the menu because I rarely make fish at home!  Want to win tickets for 2 for a upcoming show? Follow directions below!
