Ethiopian Restaurant Adds Distinctiveness to South Moger Avenue in Mt. Kisco

Every time a business closes in a downtown Westchester area, part of the soul of the said city escapes into oblivion. Even more so when its replacement operates in accordance with Wall Street rather than the pulse of the community. In turn, with ever-rising rents and all the financial upheaval, says Mt. Kisco small business owner Selamawit Tesfaye, "Now, there's a bank on every corner." But that doesn't mean Mt. Kisco hasn't held its own against the big boxes, and Tesfaye is doing her part to keep distinctiveness alive on her corner.
