Park 143 Bistro Opens with New Elegance; Replaces Village Cup & Saucer

Park 143 Bistro, located at 143 Parkway Road, has opened in Bronxville, serving small plates and handcrafted cocktails in a polished, smart interior at this elegant take on New American dining.

Wayne Chessler, who may be familiar to Westchester diners from previous roles as the general manager of Harry’s of Hartsdale and Underhills Crossing Restaurant, is the owner of this new restaurant on Parkway Road. Before assisting in the opening and running of those two establishments, he honed his industry skills as the general manager of a consortium of food service operations at Rockefeller Center, which included the landmark Assembly Steak House and multiple full-service restaurants.

Executive Chef Derek Townsend, who was most recently sous chef at Manhattan’s 10 Downing Street Food & Wine, leads culinary operations. An Arizona native, Townsend spent years in varied leadership and training roles at world-class resorts in Scottsdale, including the AAA-Five-Diamond-awarded Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North.
