Empire City Casino honored with four “Best of Dining and Nightlife” Awards by Casino Player Magazine
Empire City Casino has been awarded four distinctions from Casino Player Magazine, America’s premier gaming lifestyle magazine based in Las Vegas, NV, in its “Best of Dining and Nightlife” Awards in 2015 (March issue).
Nonno’s Trattoria, Empire City’s “must-stop” for Italian cuisine, was the big winner, taking home two separate honors. The restaurant was awarded “Best Italian,” thanks to the culinary work of Executive Chef Gaurav Navin, who is also the executive chef of Empire Terrace Restaurant. Nonno’s was also selected for the “Best Happy Hour” category.
Dan Rooney’s Sports Pub took home the “Best Place for Cocktails” award. The $50 million expansion that added DanRooney’s to Empire City in 2013, has step-back-in time ambiance and atmosphere. Patrons can watch sporting events from the 40 HDTVs offered, a plethora of seating options, as well as a varied menu.
Empire Terrace Restaurant was selected for the “Best View” award, thanks to the great view overlooking historic Yonkers Raceway and its century-old half-mile harness oval.
