It is almost the weekend…who feels like cooking?
Actually most of us enjoy trying a new recipe. But sometimes it is a real treat to go out and let someone else rattle around the pans for awhile. And there’s something extra fun about going out for breakfast or brunch, because more often than not we get together for lunch, dinner or an afternoon latte. But who could say “no” to a light, fluffy stack of pancakes, created just for you?
That’s what we thought!
So here are 3 places for breakfast & brunch in Southern Westchester that you’ve got to try. So put down that cereal box and call your BFFs. It’s brunch time!
