Both New York’s Westchester and Rockland Counties had seen the permanent closure of numerous restaurants as a result of the lockdown during the pandemic. Yet the good news is that more than 37 new restaurants have opened for business shortly after the New York government lifted the lockdown.
While it’s unfortunate that almost 30 restaurants in both counties closed down for good after the mandated shutdown in March, more restaurants are expected to open in the coming months ahead. Below are some of the restaurants that recently opened:
