March arrives in Westchester feeling like a promise. The days are getting longer, the trails are thawing, and the county is slowly shaking off winter. This weekend has a little something for everyone — including one of our favorite local traditions.
🥞 This Weekend's Best Bets
Pancake Brunch at Teatown Lake Reservation — Ossining
March | Teatown Lake Reservation, 1600 Spring Valley Road | Check teatown.org for times
Teatown's beloved Pancake Brunch is one of those events that feels genuinely, warmly local. Homemade pancakes, maple syrup, and the chance to walk the trails afterward. A perfect late-winter Saturday with kids — or honestly, without them.
Hilltop Hanover Farm Winter Market — Yorktown Heights
March 1 | 10am–4pm | Free | 1271 Hanover St, Yorktown Heights
The first Saturday of the month means the Hilltop Hanover Farm Winter Market is open. This historic working farm has been part of Westchester since the 18th century. Pick up locally grown produce, baked goods, and pantry staples — and know that about 10% of what they grow goes directly to local food pantries.
Wolf Conservation Center — South Salem
Weekends throughout March | Morning & Evening Howls | wolfsanctuary.net
The Wolf Conservation Center runs Morning and Evening Howls all month — one of the more unusual and genuinely unforgettable things you can do in Westchester. The evening howls especially are something else. Reservations required.
Westchester Knicks — White Plains
Through late March | Westchester County Center, 198 Central Ave
The G League season is winding down — which makes now the best time to catch a game. Real NBA-level talent, an intimate arena, and tickets at a fraction of MSG prices. A great family outing.
Maple Sugaring Season — County-Wide
Through March | Various farms
It's maple sugaring season across Westchester. Several local farms offer hands-on tree tapping demos and tastings through the end of March. Watch Hilltop Hanover Farm and Stone Barns Center in Pocantico Hills for upcoming events.
🍽️ On the Food Scene
DeCicco & Sons — Coming to Sleepy Hollow
The beloved family-run gourmet grocery is expected to open its Sleepy Hollow location at The Edge development any day now. It'll be their biggest store yet — a genuine upgrade for that part of the county.
Kittle House Inn — Chappaqua
After a stretch of renovations, the historic Crabtree's Kittle House is back open for dinner on Kittle Road in Chappaqua. Sunday brunch is coming soon. One of the most beautiful dining settings in the county.
Captain Lawrence Brewing — Elmsford
As the weather turns, Captain Lawrence on Saw Mill River Road is worth a visit. Great beer, relaxed taproom, and food trucks on weekends. One of the county's best casual hangouts.
🏘️ Around the County
Caramoor's Rosen House Concert Series in Katonah runs through May — a gorgeous setting for live music and a reminder that warm evenings aren't far off. Check caramoor.org for the full lineup.
Free tax prep assistance is available through April at Westchester Library System branches. Appointments fill up fast — call your local branch or visit westlibrary.org.
The Blind Pig in White Plains — the 1930s-themed cocktail bar downtown — is a great rainy-day option this month. Their Irish coffee has quite the reputation.
