The views are gorgeous from 42's dining room.
Gazing out over the Sound-to-Hudson view from 42, the tony arrival on the 42nd floor of the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel, it's easy to imagine you're not in White Plains anymore, and its New American fare via local star chef Anthony Gonçalves – stylish, Iberian-influenced dishes ranging from small plates (pork belly BLT, foie gras with quince) to ambitious, pricey entrees (lamb cassoulet, venison rack) to 'savory and sweet' tastings (olive oil gelato) – is equally transporting; a well-trained staff presides over the roomy space, which is divided into varied rooms, some with cushy brown leather banquettes, some with dramatic red detailing.
