Peekskill-Cortlandt 'Best of Westchester' Winners

Peekskill and Cortlandt are good places to eat, drink, hike, shoot rifles and be crafty, according to Westchester Magazine’s latest issue. Every year, Westchester Magazine chooses its favorite bars, restaurants, food, drink and fun to highlight in a summer “Best of Westchester” issue.
