🌟 Restaurant of the Week 🌟

Br’ers BBQ (Bedford Hills)
Br’ers BBQ is a powerhouse of smoky, saucy, soul-satisfying flavor packed into a small, no-frills space that’s built for takeout but delivers like a full-scale smokehouse. The brisket – whether in sandwich form or straight by the half-pound – is deeply marbled and expertly smoked, all while packed with a rich, tender bite. The fried chicken is crisp and juicy, the burnt ends burrito is a showstopper, and the pulled pork is melt-in-your-mouth good. Sides like mac and cheese, spicy cucumber, and baked beans are anything but afterthoughts, and their apple cider and house-made sauces take things even further.

It’s a tight squeeze if you’re eating in, but with food this good, it’s well worth the run for takeout. Br’ers delivers true barbecue magic with bold flavors and serious heart, all within the comfort of Westchester!

Your house has a dirty little secret…

Grimy siding, a streaky roof, algae creeping across the patio.

It’s not exactly screaming “summer-ready.”

That’s where Rolling Suds Power Washing comes in.

In the last week alone, they’ve helped homeowners in Armonk, Scarsdale, and Tarrytown wash away months (or let’s be honest… years) of buildup on the siding & roof.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Very reliable and great customer service! Our house and fence look brand new.” – Marie F., Mt. Kisco

Now through this week, Westchester Weekly readers get $100 off full house or roof washes.

Your house will thank you. Or at least stop looking like Shrek’s Swamp.
