Almost every project on Marbledale Road that has opened, been approved or been proposed this year adds roofed space. That includes a renovated brewery with an all-weather beer garden, a restaurant plan to enclose a rooftop for year-round use, an indoor children's swimming facility, a cheer training gym and a self-storage building with shops on the ground floor. Together they show the road behind the train tracks being rebuilt for November through March.
The road that used to ship stone south
Marbledale Road gets its name from what came out of the ground there. The Town of Eastchester's local history page dates the first marble quarry to 1821 and says the quarries ran heavily for almost a century. Tuckahoe marble went into St. Patrick's Cathedral, the New York Public Library's main building, the Custom House, the General Post Office and Grace Episcopal Church. Closer to home, it went into Immaculate Conception Church and the Samuel Fee building.
The road's job has always been production and supply. For most of the last century it was the village's working street, not a place for evenings out. What changed in 2026 is how much of what's going in is built for people to spend time in.
Broken Bow rebuilt itself around the weather
The clearest example is at 173 Marbledale Road. Broken Bow Brewery has been on the road since 2012. It reopened on July 29 after a renovation that, according to a Journal News photo gallery published July 27, added two bars, a private event space, a full-service kitchen and an all-weather beer garden.
The beer garden is the detail that matters for this time of year. The Journal News captions call it an atrium, so it is an enclosed beer garden that doesn't depend on a warm evening. The new kitchen goes by The ForkLift and serves what the gallery describes as elevated bar food. With food on site, a visit can run past one round, and the private event room gives the building a use on nights the taproom is quiet.
The brewery's events calendar runs Burger & Beer Wednesdays and Pitcher Thursdays, with Pitcher Thursday listed for October 29.
A rooftop that wants walls
Two doors down the road's numbering, 151 Marbledale Road shows the same idea still on paper. Village records list an amended site plan for a new restaurant there under the name Lost Restaurant. According to the July filing, the amendment would enclose rooftop dining so it can run all year, and add a basement party room, a bar and a small stage.
The drawings in the Planning Board packet show the scale:
- A rooftop bar with 87 seats
- A basement party room for 50
- A wine room for 16
The plan is still pending. The July meeting minutes record the item as adjourned. It came back on the revised Planning Board agenda for October 20, which also says that meeting was cancelled and rescheduled. The village hasn't posted a decision on the application yet. For now it is a proposal. It shows what a restaurant operator thinks Marbledale Road can support in January, but nobody can book a table there yet.
The daytime uses are going indoors too
The same pattern holds for the daytime uses that fill the road's parking lots in the afternoon.
At 70-72 Marbledale Road, the Planning Board on June 16 approved an amended site plan for a swimming facility from the owner, RunPheasant LLC. The owner had changed the plans to deal with the site's topography. The original village filing describes the project as a new children's swimming facility. The approval carries conditions. They include county requirements, sign-off from the village's water consultant, and a recorded subdivision before a building permit for the main building can be issued.
At 174 Marbledale Road, the Planning Board cleared 91 Force Stunt & Tumble LLC to use the space as a cheerleading training facility, with conditions on parking and traffic. Phoenix Fitness already operates at 135 Marbledale Road.
A pool, a tumbling gym and a fitness club on one stretch of road add up to a lot of indoor time slots. That is the kind of business a former quarry corridor, with its larger footprints and off-street parking, can hold more easily than Main Street storefronts can.
Storage on the upper floors, shops on the sidewalk, a park out back
The biggest project on the road is the one that sounds least like a night out. The Planning Board gave conditional approval on July 21 to a self-storage, retail and pocket park plan at 85-93 Marbledale Road. Westfair Communications reported on August 19 that the four-story building will have 3,390 square feet of street-level retail, and that approval still depends on New York State Department of Environmental Conservation remediation and utility sign-offs.
The plan cover lists 93 Marbledale Properties, LLC as the applicant. It shows about 108,170 square feet of storage on top of the retail space, for 111,560 square feet in all.
The part residents are most likely to use is behind the building. The July minutes describe a rear pocket park with a pedestrian pathway, decorative pavers, ornamental grass, a bio-infiltration system for stormwater and surveillance cameras. A road built to haul stone would get a small public green space and a row of storefronts. A ground-floor shop and a walking path also give someone parking for the brewery or the gym a reason to walk the block.
What's on the road, and where each piece stands

|---|---|---|
| 173 Marbledale Road | Broken Bow Brewery, with The ForkLift kitchen and an all-weather atrium | Open; reopened July 29 |

| 135 Marbledale Road | Phoenix Fitness | Open |
| 174 Marbledale Road | 91 Force Stunt & Tumble cheer training facility | Approved with parking and traffic conditions |
| 70-72 Marbledale Road | Children's swimming facility | Amended site plan approved June 16, with conditions |

Read top to bottom, the table runs from a building that is open now to projects that are still mostly paperwork.
A November on and around Marbledale
The near-term dates are concrete. After Pitcher Thursday on October 29, the Farm & Maker Market at Depot Square runs Sunday, November 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., a short walk across the tracks from the brewery.
On Monday, November 16, Broken Bow hosts a Lions Club Music Bingo party and holiday toy drive from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Regular admission to the brewery is free. The $25 ticket covers bingo. It is the kind of event the renovated building was designed for: a crowd, a cold night and room for everyone inside.
For the road's older story, the Eastchester Historical Society keeps a Marble Schoolhouse that was built of Tuckahoe marble in 1835, moved in 1869, closed in 1884 and later restored to its 1835 look. The Society also lists a "Marble Quarries" local history video stop outside Tuckahoe Village Hall at 65 Main Street. That puts the quarry history a few minutes from the road it shaped.
The next thing to watch is the 151 Marbledale application. When the Planning Board rules on it, the village's Agenda Center will post the minutes.
At Salima Tongo, we follow Planning Board agendas on Marbledale Road and across Westchester because filings like these show how a block will be used before the signs go up. If you own property on or near a corridor that's changing, or you're weighing what a project like the storage building or the pool could mean for your plans, let's connect and go through the village record together.
