TOUR: Apple Farm - White Plains, NY

Apple Farm Owner:  Danny Yoon Opened:  1996 Cooperative:  none Location:  37 Tarrytown Rd, White Plains, NY Photographed:  March and May 2019 Today's tour is a very small perishables-only type store just outside of the city of White Plains. I'd hesitate to call it either a supermarket or a greengrocer, as it features impressive floral, produce, deli, bakery, and seafood departments, all packed into just 4000 square feet of space. This has to be the best example of this type of store I've ever been in. Before we tour the store, I just want to give a quick shoutout to the owner or manager of the store (I have it listed as being owned by Danny Yoon, and I don't know if Yoon was the man I encountered at the store). Either way, on both of my visits, he was present on the sales floor and helping lots of customers.

As we move north through Westchester county, we'll be stopping in the towns of Eastchester, Scarsdale, White Plains, Ardsley, and Hastings-On-Hudson, generally circling up the east side, across west at White Plains, the large city of central Westchester, and then a few stores to the southwest of the city. For a little bit of a bigger picture view, we're still heading north of New York City through the direct northern suburbs through Westchester and then Putnam counties, crossing the border into central Connecticut and then circling back south along the INT-95 corridor. We'll then finish up New York State before attacking New Jersey. But that's all far in the future, let's stick with central Westchester for now!
