πŸ—“οΈ Add to My Plan β†’

Candlelight Inn in Scarsdale is a lovely, old-fashioned American restaurant perfect for a relaxed afternoon with your grandchildren – the cozy atmosphere and classic comfort food (think mac & cheese and juicy burgers!) will appeal to all ages. Little ones adore the spacious outdoor patio, often enjoying chasing pigeons or simply soaking up the sunshine while you chat and savor your meal. A grandparent tip: parking can be tight, especially on weekends, so consider arriving a bit early (around 12:30pm for lunch) or opting for street parking a block or two away.

Budget & Insider Tips

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