Raceway Diner in Yonkers is a classic, old-school diner with a fascinating history built right next to a racetrack – a real conversation starter for curious grandkids! It’s wonderful for grandparents because the portions are generous, the food is reliably tasty comfort food, and the retro atmosphere evokes a feeling of simpler times. Little ones will be thrilled pointing out the racing memorabilia on the walls and imagining the cars zooming by, and many enjoy waving to the drivers as they pass! A tip for your visit: parking can be a bit tricky, especially on weekends, so arriving a little before noon or after 2pm will often help you snag a spot.

Budget & Insider Tips

Grandparent Money Tips

• Early bird menus (5–6pm) often cut 15–20% off the bill — and they usually apply on weeknights too, even if the sign only says weekend.
• Kids eat free or half-price at many diners on weeknight evenings. Ask at the host stand before sitting down — it's not always posted.
• Order water for yourself and let the grandkids pick one shared drink. Refills are usually free.
