DIY Hero

DIY Hero

In the modern world of YouTube videos and ‘how-to’ websites, the DIY solution can be tempting. A two minute video can be all the inspiration needed to break out the welding torch and chainsaw. But should you? How do you know what’s within reach and what’s going to burn the house down or leave you knee-high in a basement full ...
Up Close with Robert Ayers

Up Close with Robert Ayers

Writing & Photography by Justin Negard While Katonah resident Robert Ayers may be new to the local art scene, he’s somewhat of a legend in England.

He’s ...

Our Local Influencers: Yolanda Pace

By Gia Miller Photography by Justin Negard Waiters/waitresses are the world’s oldest influencers – they tell us what to eat (and drink) whenever we dine out. And we often take their advice without watching hours of their videos to determine if they're trustworthy. We sat down with some of our local influencers to get to know the folks who influence ...

Striking the Right Note

Writing  by Gia Miller Photography by Gabe Palacio In 1929, Caroline Moore Hoyt sold her Katonah property, which she’d named Caramoor, to Walter Tower Rosen and Lucie Bigelow Rosen.

Keep it Growing

Keep it Growing

Writing by Leslie Dock Artwork by Zoe Stevensy Tips for a consistent harvest Afew months ago, my brother asked me what farmers do during the winter. My immediate response was, “We rest.” Compared to the absurd amount of activity farmers engage in during the other nine months of the year, this statement is largely accurate. When not resting, a farmer ...

Coconut Fat Wash

By Dr. Elixir Mixing cocktails at home can easily result in your cocktails matching or exceeding cocktails served in most restaurants.  A technique that has been around for a long time that is now coming back in fashion is “fat washing” the alcohol.  This is an easy to do technique that has the unique benefits of softening the harshness of ...

Blue Velvet

It’s that time of year when some of us take a vacation to a warm and sunny destination, some of us travel to even colder places to participate in outdoor sports, and some of us simply stay put.

Northwell Health’s Meet & Move App Is Kinda Brilliant, And We’re Here for It

When Joel Seligman, the former president of Northern Westchester Hospital, returned from his vacation to China several years ago, he didn’t talk about the extraordinary Great Wall of China, the ancient Three Pagodas or even the numerous breathtaking mountains. What caught Seligman’s eye was something else entirely: seemingly everywhere he went, he noticed septuagenarians outside, moving, doing tai chi. It ...

Back to the 80s

I did it again – I went out! And I had a blast! My former middle school put on a show called “Back to the 80s.” I’d never heard of it, but I do love vintage Madonna. Plus, I knew some of my former castmates would want to see what John Jay Middle School is up to these days and ...
