FOOD + DRINK 

Sheza Coffee • Website (#love@firstsip)

You have to go to Sheza! Yes, Starbucks is right by the train station and it’s good for an app order and quick pick up. However, if you want a pick-me-up just walking into Sheza’s downtown location will make you feel relaxed and in awe. Their interior decor out rivals the best of coffee shops in NYC.

📍 1S Alexander St, Yonkers, NY 10701 

Francey Brady’s • Website

I love an Irish pub and this one does not disappoint! You will find a warm welcome and a cold Guinness to complement one of the best Shepard’s Pies around! It’s the perfect respite to make some phone calls as it’s fairly quiet during the day. You may even see an NYCC employee at karaoke on Wednesday night!

📍 72 Main St, Yonkers, NY 10701

The Sea Fire Grill • IG

They just opened October 9th! You will find no better view and the smell of the food is intoxicating. Relax with your team after pulling at NYCC, creating lasting memories while bonding over the scenic Hudson River with views of NYC and the GWBridge in the background. It’s stunning.

📍 71 Water Grant St, Yonkers, NY 10701


PLACES 

Saw Mill River + Getty Square • Website

If you need a place to clear your mind or have that zoom with a director I recommend heading to the Saw Mill River area of Getty Square. It’s a gorgeous picturesque setting. The bubbling stream will take your mind to a place of relaxation and help provide clarity so you can plan the rest of your day, week, life lol. It’s the area just ahead of you when you exit the Metro North Yonkers Station.

📍 20 S Broadway, Yonkers, NY 10701 

Ridge Hill Mall • Website

One of the great things about getting out of NYC is the malls! They make our shopping lives so much easier and there is a great one just 15min north of our warehouse!

Ridge Hill offers stores like but not limited to: Banana Republic, Gap, J. Crew, L.L. Bean, Sunglass Hut, T. J. Maxx, Uniqlo… so basically everything you need for basics plus there is a Whole Foods!

📍 1 Ridge Hill Boulevard, Yonkers, NY 10710

Cross County Center • Website

If you didn’t find what you wanted at Ridge Hill, you should definitely pop over to Cross County Center where you’ll find stores like: Aldo, Claire’s, Footlocker, Guess, Levi’s, Savage x Fenty, and Zara to name just a few. 

At only a 13 min drive east, it’s worth it just for the Macy’s that’s not over run by a million tours and every shopper in 829. (No offense to our shoppers! We’ve all been there and appreciate your hustle!)

📍 8000 Mall Walk, Yonkers, NY 10704


We wish you a great trip to Yonkers, and look forward to seeing you soon!
