New Restaurants in Tarrytown, NY: Fall 2026 Opening Updates

On Saturday, Oct. 24, the Tarrytown Halloween Parade steps off at 5 p.m. from Patriots Park and heads south on Broadway to Main Street. Along the way it passes four addresses where new food businesses have been announced this fall: 57, 45 and 15 North Broadway, then 39 Main Street. As of today, Oct. 11, one of the four has confirmed it is open. The other three will still be covered windows and coming-soon signs when the costumes go by.

The fall menu on that route is mostly still on order. Three of the four concepts are built around daytime eating, so when the rest arrive over the coming months, the biggest changes will show up on weekday mornings and at lunch.

The Parade Route, Read as an Opening Map

Here is the parade route north to south, with what each address holds as of mid-October 2026:

1. 57 N. Broadway, Tarrytown Local. It's part grocer, part bakery, part cafe, and it opened Oct. 1, according to The Journal News.
2. 45 N. Broadway, Bobo's Cafe. The breakfast-and-lunch cafe already runs locations in Somers, Baldwin Place and Chappaqua. Its Tarrytown opening is projected for late 2026 or early 2027.
3. 15 N. Broadway, Compton's. This sandwich brand's first Westchester shop is going into the former Dominic's Delicatessen space, and it's expected before the end of the year. As of this writing, the chain's own locations page still lists Tarrytown as coming soon.
4. 39 Main St., Iguanarita. A Tex-Mex restaurant is taking over a former art gallery near the block-party end of the route. The Village of Tarrytown's Sept. 11 newsletter called it "opening soon," and no opening date has been confirmed since.

Four storefronts on one route, and they're opening on four different timelines, from already open to early next year. If you walk this stretch often, you'll see it change in stages through the winter.

The One That's Open Is Built for Weekday Errands

The confirmed opening is a grocery store first. According to the Journal News fall preview, Tarrytown Local puts the grocer at the front of the store: fresh produce, dairy, meats, cheeses, pantry staples and dry goods. Behind that is a 25-seat full-service cafe serving breakfast and lunch, with dinner planned for later.

The founders are Fox Schanzer, who spent ten years cooking in farm-to-table and fine dining kitchens, and Steve Wazny, a former lawyer who became a line cook. Katrina Poulin runs the bakery. Bread and pastries are made with grain milled by hand every day on an Austrian mill, using locally sourced grains.

A few details suggest regular shoppers more than one-time visitors:

• A frozen section stocked with handmade snacks and Schanzer's own take on Trader Joe's frozen latkes. The preview says he has long been inspired by Trader Joe's.
• Prepared foods from lasagna to meat and chicken dishes. Schanzer told the preview he's taking requests, and the menu will change with the seasons.
• Hudson Valley beverages, with wine and beer planned for later.

The local sourcing extends to the tableware. The Journal News reported that the restaurant serves food on handmade ceramics from Connor McGinn, and that the pantry shelves and the menu's ingredients come from area producers, many of them small.

So the first new business to open on this stretch is a place to pick up dinner ingredients or a loaf of bread. It's useful on an ordinary Tuesday, which sets up how the rest of the block is filling in.

What the Three Covered Windows Add Up To

Three of the four lean toward morning and midday. Bobo's brings the coffee-and-egg-sandwich menu it serves at its northern Westchester cafes. Compton's has operated since 2018, with shops in Astoria, Greenpoint and Cobble Hill and one in Cliffside, New Jersey. Its motto is "good people deserve good food," and the preview describes menus shaped by the neighborhoods each shop serves. Put a sandwich counter at 15 N. Broadway, a breakfast cafe at 45 and a bakery-grocer at 57, and the north end of the route becomes a daytime strip.

Iguanarita is the one cocktail room in the group, and it sits at the Main Street end, where the parade's block party runs until 10 p.m. The preview describes it as a Tex-Mex spot with tableside guacamole and creative cocktails. Owner James Shallo has worked in restaurants for years, including at Jean-Georges in Pound Ridge and the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club. The split follows the street itself, with daytime spots along North Broadway and the cocktail room near Main.

Countywide, the Pipeline Counts Plans, Not Doors

Tarrytown's one-open, three-pending split matches a gap that runs through the whole county this fall. The Journal News fall preview, published in mid-September 2026, counted 47 eateries in Westchester's fall pipeline. That number is a forecast of planned openings, not a count of completed ones. In the same week, the paper's closures roundup counted 22 Westchester food businesses that had closed since June.

The 22 closures had already happened. The 47 openings were still plans, each on its own schedule. Tarrytown's stretch of Broadway shows that gap on a few blocks. One door opened right on time, in early October. The other three are spread from "soon" to early 2027.

Parade Night on a Block Under Construction

The parade is free. It steps off at 5 p.m. from Patriots Park on Route 9 and heads south along Broadway to Main Street, where the block party runs until 10 p.m. with DJs, live music, outdoor dining and performers.

• Parking: Road closures will make parking extremely limited in both Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow that night.
• Getting there: Organizers recommend taking Metro-North to Tarrytown Station or riding Westchester County Bee-Line buses instead of driving.
• On the route: Tarrytown Local at 57 N. Broadway is the one confirmed new opening the parade passes.

If you're making a night of it, the parade also overlaps with the area's bigger Halloween attractions. Historic Hudson Valley's Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze is one of the main draws in Sleepy Hollow Country this season, with 7,000 carved pumpkins, according to ArtsWestchester's Halloween guide.

The Same Pattern a Few Miles in Each Direction

Nearby Rivertowns have their own announced openings, and like Tarrytown's, none of these were confirmed open as of early October:

• Sleepy Hollow: Legacy Soul Kitchen at 166 Cortlandt St. was forecast to open around mid-September, and I Scream, a frozen yogurt shop, at 72 Beekman Ave. was described only as coming soon.
• Irvington: Brothers Jacob and Josh Small are opening DoughCo Bagels, their first permanent shop after four years at farmers markets, at 50 S. Buckhout St. It will have about four tables and a standing bar, and they plan to keep their farmers market stands.
• Hastings-on-Hudson: Austin Furnas, who previously ran Boxing Day Cafe at HudCo in Dobbs Ferry, is opening a cafe built around his Australian background at 579 Warburton Ave., the former Wild Culture Waffle space. The preview lists coffee, matcha and all-day breakfast.
• Dobbs Ferry: Wildly Cakes is moving to a larger location at 10 Cedar St.

Most of these are also daytime businesses: bagels, a breakfast cafe, frozen yogurt, a bakery. Up and down Route 9 this fall, the new openings lean toward coffee and lunch more than late dinners.

The next date on the regional food calendar is Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, Nov. 2 through 16, with 44 restaurants across Westchester and the wider Hudson Valley offering prix-fixe menus, according to Westchester Magazine. By then, some of the covered windows on North Broadway may have their signs up.
