Hit the road and end this summer with these great food destinations in mind! ALEX’S BAR & GRILLE I have been enjoying Alex’s Bar and Grille in North White Plains for more than a decade. Proprietor Alex Ahmetaj has matured this restaurant beautifully. You can sit in the warm dining room with its cozy nooks and crannies or take a seat in the bustling bar/lounge.

It is a fitting name for a studio built entirely on wood that someone else gave up on. Amy spent a decade at sea, most recently as a mate for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Actually, they have several: wood-fired pizza, an oversized Chicken Parmies, cold pints, and an open mic that welcomes musicians, poets, comedians, and anyone else brave enough to grab the microphone. Wednesday nights launched this June, and already they are giving people something to look forward to in the middle of the week.

I was driving up Halstead Ave. in Mamaroneck when I noticed the lights on at a new spot called Osteria Sardegna. It turns out to be a second coming for veteran restaurateur Vittorio Scarpa and his family who had operated a restaurant featuring the rustic dishes of Sardinia back in 2007 in Larchmont.
