Not sure what your budget is but we went to a few birthday parties at Leaping Lizards in Port Chester which was a lot of fun for the kids. There's also a place called Kids U which I haven't been to but heard good things about. I think they have all kinds of activities there. The bowling alley on Tar...

Has anyone tried that Chinese restaurant Aberdeen on Barker Ave? Supposedly it's great authentic Chinese food, and was voted the best dim-sum in Westchester for several years. I'm tempted to try it out. Haven't been that happy with the other Chinese food choices around. We usually order from David K...

Does anyone have any suggestions for good summer day camps near WP? My daughter is going into 2nd grade and was looking for something fun and not too competitive. I heard good things about Breezemont and Mount Tom but wanted to know if anyone else has any other suggestions?

Thanks!
