Larchmont Tavern – Larchmont NY

Another Larchmont restaurant that is a real hot spot among the locals is the famous Larchmont Tavern. The LT dates back to the Great Depression. It opened in 1933 – at the height of the depression. Today it is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Located at 104 Chatsworth Ave., its central location makes it a draw for families and commuters a like. It is practically across the street from Metro-North making it a convenient destination for commuters looking to grab a bite or a drink after work. The place is always packed and the reason for that is obvious. The food is basic family fare – but done well and with excellent service. Personally, I love their salads particularly the Spicy Southwestern. No need to order extras – the salads are huge and there is always plenty for a second meal the next day.

Chat 19 – a very popular Larchmont restaurant

Larchmont restaurants are very popular places for the locals to gather. Larchmont is very much a bedroom community – and after a long day in the city, many of the residents like to eat out. One of my favorite places to eat in Larchmont is the famous Chat 19. Chat 19 is one of a cohort of Westchester restaurants by Mario Fava – who saught to bring New York City to Westchester. This is one of the most popular places to dine in Larchmont. The place is generally packed and in the summer, the crowd spills over to the sidewalk for outdoor dining. I particularly like eating outdoors. Larchmont is charming and its a wonderful experience to watch the crowds on the street on a warm summer night. Chat 19 is popular for a good reason: the food is wonderful. The cusine is American Grill. The decor could best be described as So-Ho style.

The food is excellent as is the service. I particularly enjoy the spaghetti squash where squash is shaved into “angel hair spaghetti” with diced vegitables, pine nuts and nice tomato sauce. It may sound a bit strange but it is a wonderful meatless meal. I’ve also enjoyed the Jambalaya which is nicely spicy without going over the top.
