NY/CT/LI Restaurant News, Openings and Closings - SPRING AND SUMMER EDITION

We were in there for something other than a full meal, were surprised to see the familiar waiter, who told us the expanded menu had been in place just three days. So can’t comment on the quality vs Ernesto’s – and, of course, the atmosphere is quite different. But it did strike us as a nice development.

I have not tried it and I have no intentions of doing so.

On the bright side, if you go and are a BJ’s member, they just opened a gas station across the street, so you can save on gas. Sort of our consolation prize for Costco backing out of their plans to open a club here.

LOL - I got gas there last week when I went to BJ’s. At that time, half of the pumps did not work - you’d find out when you got there. But it was cheaper. Small consolation! I want Costco!

Guess I was off, they opened last night:

LOL, I just posted this on the Taco Project thread. Great minds!

I saw a line when I was going to get gas a couple of weeks ago and didn’t wait. I attributed it to people waiting for a pump on the “right” side of the car rather than stretching the hose over like you’re supposed to. Sadly they don’t seem to be that cheap, maybe a couple of cents cheaper than I can get elsewhere in the area. The Brookfield location is cheaper.

I want Costco too, but we’re not getting it, at least not in Yorktown.

Thanks for the rec! Stopped in yesterday and really enjoyed the lomo saltado. The pollado de huancaina (fried chicken with traditional sauce over rice) looked great but the lomo was too good to pass up. Looking forward to ordering the rotisserie chicken to bring home the the family. Service was as sweet as can be.
