Openings and Closings

Bowlmor White Plains has taken occupancy in the former site of AMF Bowling and is now open. The three-story sports and entertainment venue offers black-light bowling, in-house dining and arcade games. Head over on Saturday, May 9, for a special Kids Bowl Free event—which goes way beyond bowling!

Lower Westchester residents may be delighted to hear that Dave and Buster’s has opened in Pelham, its first location in Westchester (its next nearest location is at Palisades Center in Nyack). Boasting over 170 arcade games, in addition to dining, parties and more, there’s plenty of fun for the whole family.

Chocoholics rejoice! Candy Rox has opened a second location in Bronxville. We adore Candy Rox's original sweet spot in Rye and wrote about them in our post on local candy shops. In addition to the unending selection of candy by the pound, hand-dipped chocolates and packaged sweets, expect more of their cheery assortment of inedible gifts like clothing accessories, sprightly decorative pillows and more.

And sadly, The Cupcake Kitchen of Irvington has closed its doors. In addition to its namesake, the eatery also served breakfast, lunch and Jane’s Ice Cream.
