with an urban heart.”
Revisiting his Yonkers roots (where he
grew up as the 10th of 12 children) is one of the reasons he selected the Yonkers waterfront as the site for X20 Xaviars
on the Hudson, his fifth Hudson Valley Restaurant, now entering its 10th year. “In a sense, this was a project to see if a restaurant could have a significant impact on a community.”
Kelly’s gamble to open his upscale restaurant at the beginning of the city’s revitalization effort has been a resounding success. Set at the historic Yonkers Pier, the highly acclaimed elegant, glass- walled fine-dining destination with 25- foot vaulted ceilings, stunning panoramic views of the Hudson River and the Palisades, and Kelly’s signature gourmet fare has been attracting visitors from all directions, including New York City.
“Yonkers is so wonderfully situated—a short 18-minute commute to Manhattan by train and waterways with dramatic breathtaking views of the Palisades that the Rockefellers have ensured will remain protected,” he says.
Kelly is equally proud to be playing a part in attracting young professionals who are drawn by the proximity to New York City, its diversity, and more reasonable cost of living. “We have to make sure we offer them a hospitable welcome. This administration is also working hard to invite people to Yonkers to see what’s new.”
Yonkers is a city Kelly believes in deeply. He appreciates every single inch of it and is unabashedly optimistic about its future: “In my heart I believe that Yonkers is poised for great things. As
a community, we have to support each other. We’re near the finish line.”
