One of my favorite eateries: The Patio. I like to go there with a book and just sit there reading and watching the world go by while I eat my lunch. They serve diner-like food, but with a Mexican twist. For example you can have bacon and eggs for breakfast, or you can have huevos rancheros or huevos mexicanos. When the COVID pandemic hit they almost immediately built an entire, new patio area on the side of the building so that people could eat outside. It’s quite a popular place. I recently went there for lunch not realizing that it was Mother’s Day. The place was packed out with a long line of people waiting to be seated.

In the picture above you can see two windows. The building that houses The Patio was once the original Briarcliff Manor Fire Station and the two windows made up the entrance where the fire trucks went in and out.

My lunch: A greek salad. I can’t get enough anchovies.


I was not left alone with my meal. This guy hung around for a while.
