For those of you who remember a New York Times “Three Star” restaurant in Granite Springs (Yorktown area) called Damiano’s, the family name is back again in Sleepy Hollow on upper Beekman Avenue under the name of “Finalmente.”





It will be 20 years, on June 27, since owner, Tommy Chan, opened Taste of China restaurant on Main Street in Tarrytown. It’s one of Tarrytown’s mainstays, which is quite an accomplishment when you think of how many restaurants have opened and closed in those 20 years.
Sitting opposite Gus Panopoulos, one of the four partners of Irvington’s Day Boat Café at One Bridge Street in Irvington, one is taken by his sheer exuberance about the restaurant business and the newly opened Day Boat Café. He and his partners, John Durkin, Vas Mylonas and Russ Panopoulos, have created a restaurant that invites diners of all ages and types who are looking for a New England type seafood menu and something more in the form of steak, burgers and chicken dishes prepared with flair.
It’s worth the trip to the end of Beekman Avenue in Sleepy Hollow as you will come upon the latest dining destination in the Rivertowns – the Bridge View Tavern. Overlooking the Hudson River, the Tappan Zee Bridge and the Palisades, family owners Steve Maceyak, and his children Chris and Tara, invite you to enjoy a “libation” and some “vittles” at their recently renovated establishment.
