Yonkers Food Spots That Hit Different in the Winter

Winter in Yonkers changes how you eat.

When it’s cold out, you’re not looking for rooftop seating or trendy small plates — you want warmth, comfort, and places where you can actually settle in. These are the kinds of spots that make winter in Yonkers easier (and better).

This list is not ranked. It is simply a solid group of local places that hit especially well when the temperature drops.

7 Brothers Diner

There is something about an old school diner in the winter that just works. Hot coffee, a warm booth, and comfort food you do not have to overthink. In my opinion, 7 Brothers Diner also has the best gyro in Yonkers, which only adds to why it feels especially right when it is freezing outside.

Rory Dolan’s Restaurant & Bar

Rory Dolan’s has that classic neighborhood bar feel that is built for cold nights. The fireplace, the steady crowd, and the comfort food make it an easy place to settle into when winter hits. It always feels lively without feeling overwhelming.

Zuppa Restaurant & Lounge

Italian comfort food and winter go hand in hand, and Zuppa does it especially well. The cozy interior paired with some of the best handmade pasta in Yonkers makes this a go to spot for a long, warm dinner on a cold night.

Silvio’s Restaurant

Silvio’s is a classic red sauce spot. Big portions, familiar dishes, and an old school Italian feel that makes it perfect for slow winter dinners when you want something hearty and comforting. This is the kind of place you go when you want to escape the cold for a couple of hours.

Dos Marias

Dos Marias earns its place on this list for more than just the margaritas. The tacos are excellent, the plates are filling, and it is exactly the kind of warm, flavorful Mexican food you crave when the weather is rough outside.

Mandy Bean

Mandy Bean is one of the newer spots on this list, but it has quickly become a great winter option. With strong coffee choices and a cozy atmosphere, it is an easy place to duck into, warm up, and reset your day when Yonkers feels especially cold.

Final Thought

Yonkers has no shortage of great food, but certain places just make more sense when it’s cold out. Whether you’re looking for a long dinner, a cozy bar, or a quick coffee to warm up, these spots are worth keeping in mind all winter.

If there’s a Yonkers spot you swear by when the temperature drops, there’s a good chance it belongs on the next version of this list.
