Port Chester Restaurants Galore 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) The best thing about living in Port Chester is the newly renovated downtown area. We have a lot of new amenities, restaurants, and shopping. We have so many choices of restaurants, that it is difficult to choose what I am in the mood for. For a casual bite to eat, I recommend Taq ...Read More ueria La Picardia. Their tacos are delicious and the service is great too.

Some things are spread out, so having a reliable car is needed. The downtown area has a nice nightlife scene. For a better shopping experience, I recommend traveling a little further to White Plains at The Westchester. The stores are a little more upscale. The best things about Port Chester is that we are accessible to everything including a being less than 20 miles from New York City.

We have a movie theater, so there's no need to travel far anymore to see the new flix. We also have different parks, museums, and beaches that are nearby. Read Less
