The Same Operator Connects Larchmont's Beach Stand and a Wine Room in Progress

Every fall, Larchmont Manor Beach quiets down and The Beach by H147, the concession stand that feeds the sand all summer, closes until next year. This year, Tequila Sunrise by H147 is finishing a wine room a few blocks inland. The same operator runs both businesses, which follow different seasonal schedules.

If you have lived here more than a summer or two, you already know the rhythm without naming it. The beach fills, the Village center quiets down in the middle of the day, and then Labor Day flips a switch nobody announces. What is easy to miss is that at least one operator is running both sides of that switch at once, and this fall gives you an unusually clean look at how.

Three Addresses, One Operator

Elana Zimmerman's report on Larchmont's new restaurants offers a useful starting point: chef Richard Perez. Back in August 2025, his MJN Hospitality Group quietly took over a longtime Mexican restaurant in the Village and renamed it Tequila Sunrise by H147. That gave the group three Larchmont properties running at once: Heritage 147, the farm-to-table restaurant that built Perez's reputation here, Tequila Sunrise by H147, and The Beach by H147, the concession stand at Larchmont Manor Beach.

The three addresses bring together businesses with different schedules, including a year-round restaurant and a seasonal beach stand.

  • Heritage 147 runs year round as the group's anchor.
  • The Beach by H147 exists only in beach season and closes when the water does.
  • Tequila Sunrise by H147 is preparing a fuller relaunch with a wine room and private event space; the work, originally targeted for earlier this year, is still under construction as of the most recent local reporting.

With the wine room still in progress, Perez's three addresses are one part of a broader year of change in the Village.

What Else Landed in the Village This Year

Perez's three addresses are not the only new thing to notice this year, just the one with the clearest through line. A few blocks away, chef Michael Psilakis opened Klēma in spring 2026, in the space that used to hold Vintage 1891. Psilakis spent around fifteen years at MP Taverna in Irvington before this, and Klēma is his first new restaurant in a decade. As Elana Zimmerman reported, Psilakis has described what he is building in plain terms:

"Like with my other restaurant in Irvington, we hope to become the 'Cheers' of Larchmont and the surrounding towns."

That is a specific kind of ambition, a room people return to on an ordinary Tuesday rather than a place they visit once and check off.

At the other end of the spectrum sits Wonder, the food hall that opened at 1298 Boston Post Road. A single order there pulls from roughly fifteen different kitchens at once, with dishes developed by chefs including José Andrés and Bobby Flay, delivered or ready for pickup in under thirty minutes. According to a News 12 Westchester report, the location's busiest day so far was not a weekday lunch rush. It was a Sunday, and by the company's own account, that Sunday was the busiest day for Wonder across every one of its locations nationwide, not just the one in Larchmont.

That is worth sitting with. A food hall built around a phone app and fifteen kitchens outperformed on the exact day of the week that used to belong almost entirely to the beach. For a Village full of commuters who spend their weekdays getting to and from the train, a Sunday order that feeds a family in under thirty minutes without anyone cooking is a real alternative to a summer built around the water, not just a novelty.

Millie's Provisions rounds out the year's arrivals, expected to open before the end of 2026 from owners Zachary and Marteal Mayer. They have described it as a hybrid of a café, deli, and market, with prepared foods, coffee from the Brooklyn roaster Partners, sandwiches, breakfast bowls, and pantry staples. Like Wonder, it is built for a weeknight that does not leave much time to cook, which is the same problem Tequila Sunrise's eventual relaunch and Perez's beach stand solve in their own way, just aimed at people walking rather than driving up for a swim.

The Parade Does Not Care Who Is Cooking

None of this restaurant reshuffling changes the Village's older calendar, and that is worth knowing too. The Larchmont Chamber of Commerce still runs its sidewalk sale in late spring, the Larchmont Committee on the Arts still fills Constitution Park with Thursday evenings through the summer and closes its season there in late September, and the Larchmont Recreation Committee still brings its annual Halloween event down Larchmont Avenue on the Saturday before Halloween. Because Halloween itself lands on a Saturday this year, that typically puts the event on Saturday, October 24, a full week ahead of the holiday, though the Village's own calendar lists the date as approximate year to year.

Those three organizations do not answer to whichever restaurant is popular that season. They ran the same events last year and they will run them again next year regardless of who is cooking on Larchmont Avenue. The restaurant scene reshuffles every year. The volunteers who close the street for a parade do not.

What This Actually Changes If You Live Here

None of this requires you to do anything differently this week. But a few things are worth knowing before October fills up.

If you have been meaning to try Klēma, Psilakis built it to be a place you return to, not a one-time splurge, so there is no real rush beyond your own schedule. If you are wondering whether Tequila Sunrise's wine room will be ready before the holidays, the honest answer as of the most recent construction updates is that it is still in progress, so it is worth calling ahead rather than assuming. And if Wonder's Sunday crowds caught you off guard once already, that is not a fluke. A single order pulling from fifteen kitchens turns out to be exactly what a lot of Larchmont wants on the one day of the week that used to belong to the beach.

The bigger thing worth carrying into fall is simpler than any single opening. Larchmont does not really have a summer identity and a separate fall identity. It has one operator whose businesses follow different schedules over the course of the year, a handful of new arrivals solving the same weeknight problem in different ways, and three volunteer-run organizations who keep the actual calendar fixed no matter what is cooking. Once you see those as three separate, ongoing stories rather than one seasonal reset, the Village stops looking like it changes every few months and starts looking like it just rotates.

If you are a longtime neighbor here, or you know someone who has been quietly wondering what their Larchmont home might be worth in a market that keeps evolving around them, the team at The TurnKey Team at Houlihan Lawrence has spent years tracking exactly this kind of on-the-ground detail.
