THE NEW YORK TIMES DINING | MOUNT KISCO
NORTHERN reaches of the county have, in recent years, enjoyed a slow but steady flow of restaurants dedicated to satisfying diners’ increasing interest in cuisines beyond our shores.
Italian restaurants have so long held the affections of American diners that the cuisine has become almost as American as apple pie. And today, Japanese, Indian and Greek dishes are no longer considered exotic. “Mediterranean” style has elbowed into the mix, suggesting healthful preparations of seafood with a twist of lemon, olive oil and, perhaps, zaatar, a spice mixture.
