New Diner Progressing in New Rochelle

Work continues on the diner being built on parcels previously owned by New Rochelle.

DeRaffele Manufacturing purchased the two lots between Main Street and Nardozzi Place off Weyman Avenue for $600,000. The City Council abandoned the curved roadway connecting Main Street and Nardozzi Place and sold it to DeRaffele.

DeRaffele will join the two now-separated lots in order to create enough contiguous land for the diner and parking.

The additional traffic lane on Weyman Avenue from Main Street to Nardozzi Place is coming along and can be clearly seen behind the chain-link fencing. The developer is paying for all improvements which include moving stormwater drains.

The additional lane is necessary to accommodate additional traffic due to elimination of the curved connector roadway, development officials said.
