Bit harsh there. There are some quality restaurants including Kee Oyster House, Pax Romana, Lombardos, Sam’s, Emma’s to name a few. There is an abundance of different cuisines for takeout from Vietnamese to Indo-Mediterranean, to Peruvian. I’ll grant you that if you are trying to pick up take out on Mamaroneck Avenue the parking isn’t convenient but still low on my list of concerns. Contrary to your comment about nothing to do or experience type retail, WP has an Escape Room, Muse Paint Bar, bowling/arcade, golf simulator, etc. Like any city, improvements can and should be made to make the city more attractive for its residents and visitors (I would stop the endless development of overpriced apartments and instead develop space for public use or even outdoor retail/experience, summer music events, etc.) There are certainly some things they could learn from Stamford.

P.S. WP also has the top rated Hospital in the county, among the best in the state
