Great Westchester eats for about $20

Great eats in Westchester for about $20

You've got $20 in your pocket. You could get a small pizza and plop in front of the TV tonight. Or, for the same price, you could sample a top-rated restaurant in Westchester. We asked the chefs and owners of some of the county's top restaurants what they would order from their own menus for $20.

We're not talking tasting menus, but a specific dish or dishes. You might also get a drink, but you might not. And, by all means, be sure to bring additional cash for an appropriate tip. A few of our suggestions are just under our threshold, others are a little bit over.

And don't worry that you won't be welcomed if you're not a big spender. The restaurateurs we spoke to are happy to have new customers sample their cuisine.
