Partner Content by Judi McAnaw Now that we’ve reached 2024, you might be thinking about your goals and hopes for the new year.

By Kayla Schmidt and Lindsey Gaynor Photography by Ab Hassett, Justin Negard, Gabe Palacio In November 1874, a fire almost engulfed the entire town of  Katonah.

Cooking & Cocktails

Mai Tai

Mai Tai

Photography by Justin Negard On a hot summer day, I find classic tropical drinks very refreshing, and a Mai Tai is one of my favorites. This version is only slightly different from the standard recipe as I’ve added pineapple liqueur to the mix.  To elevate the drink from “poolside bar” to “cocktail worth bragging about,” focus on your ingredients – ...

“Let me tell you about artichokes,” he said to me. His voice lowered. His eyes darted to the left and right while he leaned in closer to the table. “They are very difficult to cook properly,” he said. “Removing the leaves, handling the heart, the hairs, it all must be done just right. This is a vegetable they test you ...

Inclusivity in Action

Writing  by Ava Fleisher Artwork by Zoe Stevens As Wendy Belzberg strolled through the quaint streets of Rhinebeck, something suddenly became obvious: Every town should be doing this.

In nearly ...

Chili and Spice

Spicy. I wanted spicy. After a few months in Katonah, I still hadn’t found the hot singles scene that I was looking for. Sure, I tried the sewer ribbon-cutting in December – that was a big dump. I’ve sauntered the aisles of DeCiccos in a striking pair of Louboutins, but I always leave with dinner for one. I even bought ...
