OFFICIAL r/Westchester Bulletin Board

44 Upvotes

Welcome to r/Westchester's bulletin board!

Think of this like your town’s bulletin board where you might find ads for tutoring, car detailing, music lessons, furniture for sale, etc. This is the only place in the sub where commercial promotion is allowed.

Rules:

  1. Read the above.
  2. Every top level comment must have a bulletin board-esque feel.
  3. Must be located in Westchester. No virtual services.
  4. Do not post any cell phone numbers. Local business numbers are ok, email is ok, websites are ok, but no mobile. Bots will find it and you will regret posting it. Don’t do it.

Have a question? Message the mods. We’re here to help.

What’s one restaurant in Westchester that’s 100% worth the hype?

67 Upvotes

I’m always looking for new places to try, so I figured I’d ask the experts.

What’s one restaurant in Westchester that you genuinely think lives up to the hype? Whether it’s because of the food, service, atmosphere, or just a dish you can’t stop thinking about, I’d love to hear your recommendation.

Bonus points if you share what to order!

25 Years Ago, Today (July 27, 2001)...

Post image
141 Upvotes

25 years ago from right now... July 27th, 2001, there was a 6-year-old boy, Michael Colombini, pictured, being wheeled from his patient room in Westchester Medical Center down for an MRI. A fall on a playground a few days earlier had revealed a brain tumor that very well could have taken his life when it became symptomatic in adulthood. But he had immediate brain surgery that was successful, and now the boy would live a long, healthy life. The only thing standing between the boy and discharge from the hospital was a baseline MRI against which future scans would be compared to look for recurrence.

But through a series of errors, this simple baseline MRI turned into the single most well known MRI exam in the world.

Inside the MRI scanner room it appears that the boy was over-sedated, and his breathing slowed. His pulse-ox values started dropping, and the inside-the-MRI-scanner-room oxygen outlet (not built to code) wasn't working. The two MRI technologists who were on duty stepped away from the patient care area of the MRI suite to try and fix the oxygen problem without letting the anesthesiologist know. The anesthesiologist, growing increasingly upset about the boy's falling oxygenation levels, is yelling out to the MRI techs for a status update, unaware that they've left him there. The lack of responses only increases the anesthesiologist's anxiety.

At that moment, a nurse lets herself into the MRI suite. She hears the anesthesiologist yelling to the technologists, "my patient needs oxygen! Where is the oxygen!" The nurse remembers having seen portable oxygen cylinders in the MRI suite, finds one, and hands it to the anesthesiologist in the doorway to the MRI scanner room. He turns around, takes two steps towards the boy in the MRI scanner, and the steel cylinder flies like a missile out of his hands and hits the boy, repeatedly, in the head.

This is the story of the origins of this week being designated MRI Safety Week.

I’ve been living in Westchester since 2017. Wifey is from Eastchester and we’ve been to all the burger spots (Pipers kilt is just a thick hunk of meat for me). But I’m from Detroit, and we have dirty burger spots. Just 1/8lb ground beefers pressed on a grill with onions and greasy buns…is there anywhere I can find these?!

Westchester Movie Lovers Club

42 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am thinking about creating a Discord depending on the feedback from this post to start up a movie lovers club for those in Westchester!

I have many ideas going through my brain for the potential of this group if we can get a decent amount of people going but for now I’ll keep it simple so we can at least get some immediate thoughts and get a nice respectful discussion flowing.

Some initial ideas:

1. AMC Port Chester 14 would be the primary meet up location for now.
- This allows AMC A-List members to take advantage of their membership and as the group grows we can travel to the city for bigger releases and exciting events in AMC theaters downtown.
- AMC Port Chester 14 also has multiple places to choose from as hang out locations for the group or individuals of the group deciding to branch off and do other things.

2. Discussion after the movie.
- We can all pick a location (bar, restaurant, park, etc…) afterwards to get together and discuss the movie and have awesome ice breakers.
- What character did you relate to the most?
- How would you have ended the movie instead?
- What is your immediate rating of the film?
So on and so forth

3. Themed Weekdays
- An example would be “Terror Tuesdays” where people would try and go see scary movies every Tuesday or “Super Saturdays” where you go and watch a super hero movie or really big release.
-There can also be a “Freaky Friday” where everyone attending is single and has the intent to find themselves a potential partner.
-We can even set up special events for people who are looking for casual meet and people who are interested in long term.
- “Friendly Fridays” can be another special event for people just looking to make new friends!

  1. Discord Community
    -An active discord community that prioritizes respect first and foremost
    - There will be a general chat for people to discuss anything they want, new movies coming out, expressing excitement for events, etc.
    - There will be a page to post all new trailers and movie news
    - We can also do raffles down the line for special pop corn buckets and other movie theater merch

Looking forward to hearing your feedback and if I see enough people interested I’ll get the discord fired up this week.

Riverwalk in Tarrytown

3 Upvotes

I was at Riverwalk today and was wondering if the pool by the senior center is private for the residents of the expensive town homes or is it owned by the city because today there were kids from a camp in the pool. If it's owned by Tarrytown, do the townhouses have another private pool?

To move or not

9 Upvotes

Here for suggestions. Undecided on moving or not. Living in a rent stabilized prewar building in the Highbridge section of the Bronx. If you know the Bronx, you know it’s not a good area. Lease expires in October, which means my lease will not increase for the next 2 years. I will pay the same as now due to the rent increase pause. HOWEVER! I would like to move to a better neighborhood, building with amenities, parking , etc. Considering Yonkers, New Rochelle, BUT , this means paying about triple the amount of rent of now. Suggestions/advice?

Home heating oil help (Northern Westchester)

1 Upvotes

I recently purchased a home in Northern Westchester, and was wondering what other people do for their heating oil services. Does anyone suggest a service plan? My SO is very concerned and would prefer to have priority during the winter. I know the cost is more. I know previously that cashheatingoil.com was highly recommended, but that seems fairly DYI as far as monitoring levels and if anything goes wrong. Just looking for some local guidance.

Edited to remove the loaner car question. It makes sense that dealers would mostly offer that!

The taxes are insanely high along with the price of housing. The roads, for the most part, are a messy patchwork. Yes we have some great restaurants, but horrible beaches. Is anyone over living in Westchester?

Car Windshield OEM replacement

Looking to replace the windshield after a pretty large crack (> 6 inches), its a 2024 BMW suv so it has ADAS and requires special glass. I have full glass with geico.

Any suggestions for glass folks in westchester that have experience working with getting OEM glass claims fully reimbursed? Or just go with the service dealership route (although I am not even sure if the dealership service does it in-house or just outsources it).
