Three more restaurants to close in Westchester, Rockland

Jeanne Muchnick, Rockland/Westchester Journal News

Restaurant closures in Westchester and Rockland continue to pile up with three more to add to the growing list. For each closing, the reasons why vary— though lease issues are often at the top of the list.

That was partly the case with Town Dock, which recently closed in Rye after almost 27 years, Rye House in Port Chester, closed after a decade and Francesco's which has been on Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains for more than 50 years. And now...

The Greek-ish in Nyack closed in March.

The Greek-ish, Harrison and Nyack

Owner/Chef Constantine Kalandranis closed The Greek-ish, at 273 Halstead Avenue in Harrison, due to a lease issue. He had been there eight years.

The Mediterranean(ish) restaurant closed in February.

In Nyack, the closure, which occurred in March, was more about Kalandranis' desire to focus on his food truck, The Taco-ish (at Stokes Farm in Old Tappan, N.J.) as well as his new(ish) snack bars at the House of Sports in Ardsley and Westchester Skating Academy in Elmsford, where he sells a variety of salads, bowls, snacks and more.

Kalandranis has had a restaurant at 8 North Broadway in Nyack when it previously had been called 8 North Broadway. He doesn't rule out another concept in that space so stay tuned.

Fortina, Yonkers

The owners aren't saying anything but they've removed the location from their website and social media. A sign outside the Yonkers space reads "Closed for repairs." No more information was forthcoming.

Their locations in Rye Brook, Armonk and Stamford, Conn. remain open. More details can be found at fortinapizza.com.

Signage outside Fortina in Yonkers says closed for repairs but the location has been taken off the restaurant group's website and social media.
