lunch near port chester?

We%26#39;re driving on a Sunday leaving around 7am from Boston to Harrisburg, PA. In looking at the map it seems that Port Chester is our 1/2 way point. Is there a nice place we can stop for lunch nearby? It would be me and my two kids who are 9 and 10 so casual and easy is the name of the game.

Thanks!

If you and your children like (Asian) Indian food, I recommend the buffet lunch at Tandoori restaurant on North Main Street in Port Chester, NY. They have a variety of main dishes, vegetable dishes, salad, bread (naan), dessert (such as rice pudding, vermicelli pudding, or gulab jamun), and beverage, for about $12 per person. From I-95 in CT, take exit 2 and drive on Delavan Ave. through Byram (CT) to Port Chester, NY, then take a left on Main St. and drive down a short distance until you come to Tandoori on your left hand side.

If Indian food is not up your alley, try the Glory Days Diner on East Putnam Avenue in neighboring Greenwich, CT. for typical American diner food. From I-95 southbound, take Exit 3 in CT, turn right at end of ramp onto Arch St., continue several blocks to Mason St. Turn left onto Mason St., continue several blocks until Putnam Ave. (Rte. 1). Turn right onto Putnam Ave. Look for Glory Days Dinner a short distance down on your left hand side.

Thank you! The diner sounds like a good bet for us.

I%26#39;m now wondering if route 95 may not be that great of a way to go since I%26#39;ve read a few bad things about traffic slowdowns.

It%26#39;s true that congestion on I-95 is often really bad in some places.

On the other hand, it depends on what day and time of day. Early enough on a Sunday morning it shouldn%26#39;t be bad, even in summer.

I suggest you consider moving up your departure time to 6:00am or 6:30 am (instead of 7:00 am), taking some snacks in the car to tide you over between meals, and not stopping to eat until after you have crossed over the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey. This will mean another half-hour or so in the car before you get your meal break, but it should get you safely beyond several potential I-95 bottlnecks before the traffic builds up.

By the way: the New Jersey Turnpike has quite a few rest stops right along the highway, where one can get gas, meals, etc. Most of them provide a choice of restaurants in which to eat (primarily hamburger and pizza chains, such as Big Boy, Sbarro%26#39;s, or the like). I wouldn%26#39;t call them ';nice'; restaurants, but you%26#39;ll save time, you won%26#39;t get lost, and the ';cuisine'; is just the type that many 9- or 10-year old stomachs yearn for.

If you%26#39;re willing to eat burgers but you can%26#39;t wait until New Jersey, there are also some rest stops along the southern part of I-95 in Connecticut (from around New Haven to around Darien or Norwalk, if I recall correctly), which feature McDonald%26#39;s restaurants.

Oh thanks for those tips!!!

Trust me I%26#39;d LOVE to get started at 6am or 6:30am but I%26#39;d hear about it all the way there from the little ones in the back seat!! They%26#39;re already freakin%26#39; over having to be out of the house by 7am!!!
