Breakfast just north of the NYC city limits

Here's a situation I expect some of you New Yorkers have been in: I'm leaving the city for business tomorrow, bright and early, driving north along the Saw Mill River Parkway, and would love to hit a good diner as soon as I'm sure I'm out of the ugly traffic of NYC. Basically as soon as I can breathe a sigh of relief that that part of my journey is behind me. Townwise, I guess I'm talking about Yonkers, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington, Pleasantville, Chappaqua--ideally just off the Parkway, if possible.
 
Any suggestions for a good, old school, diner with stick-to-yer-ribs, hearty eats?
 
Thanks!

If you're at all amenable to, alternatively, taking the Merritt Parkway route, the Lakeside Diner (touted here) in Stamford, Connecticut is a worthy outside-of-NYC-stop, FYI.

The Pleasantville Diner is fine.  Have eaten there many times.  Be sure to Googlemap  the location.
