Mary Ellis
Writing by Ava Fleisher Photography by Justin Negard This story begins when artist Mary Ellis was “very, very young.” An abstract expressionist painter and owner of Fifth Avenue Manufacturers, Ellis received support from those around her who could recognize her unique style. But throughout her childhood and adolescence, she struggled in school. “I was told that I shouldn’t even apply ...
Her Broadway Debut
Writing by Gia Miller In our debut issue, we featured actress Colby Kipnes. She’s been the voice of two Nickelodeon characters (Riley in “Nella the Princess Knight” and Oona in “Bubble Guppies”) and acted in local and regional theater. But her dream was always Broadway, and this spring, she made her Broadway debut. It all happened “really fast,” says 13-year-old ...
Got a Sec?
As summer slowly approaches, the one thing we’re most excited for is ice cream. With ice cream on the brain, we strolled through Scott’s Corners in Pound Ridge to hear about some of the weirdest ice cream flavors people have ever tried. Some sounded surprisingly good, others… not so much. Drew, Katonah Katonah Connect: What is the weirdest ice cream ...

5 Tulips For Spring
Nichole Wilder knows her flowers. From rose bouquets to peonies; shasta daisies to hydrangeas, her neighborhood flower shop, Wild Fig, lives and breathes the floral arts. Nichole is one of our local authorities on budding beauties, and spring is her specialty. So as the earth begins to thaw, the birds chirp a little bit louder and the smell of new ...
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. Walter was a Berlin-born, international banker who specialized in railroads, and Lucie was described as an “independent, spirited and highly intelligent member of a prominent New York City family.” As the ...
Top 7 Summer Beauty Tips
Summer is almost here! While we always welcome those warmer, longer days and all the fun that comes with them, we don’t love the damage it can do to our hair and skin (dry, frizzy hair and acne is never a good look). So we sat down with a few local experts – Jennifer and JoAnna Sciarrino of Derma Glow ...

Tapping into the Land– An Essay

Join her inspiring journey from next-door-neighbor-who-eats-all-the-raspberries to gardener-for-hire-who-is-truly-tapped-in-to-what-our-earth-needs.

3 Ways to Save Money on Home Heating & Cooling
Spring is finicky – one day it’s warm, the next day it’s cool. Sometimes the air conditioning is on, and other days you need the heat. But regardless if you’re heating or cooling, it definitely costs more these days. And, unfortunately, experts say oil prices may continue to rise for months or even the remainder of the year. There are, ...

The Boro
Imagine, if you will, your perfect coffee shop. Does it include floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor and outdoor seating, the option for breakfast or lunch along with coffee, beer or wine (because we all have those days), and maybe even some yoga? Yeah, that’s what we imagine, too. So starting in March, you’ll find us holding meetings and catching up with friends ...
Galette de Rois
Writing by Cathy Deutsch Photography by Justin Negard French-born pastry chef Patrice Yvon and his wife Lorna own and operate L’Anjou Pâtisserie Française in Mount Kisco. Growing up in France, Yvon has fond memories of Galette de Rois (King Cake), which is served during Epiphany (January 6). The cake is topped with a golden crown and has a porcelain figurine ...
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 – ...

5 Things to Enhance Your Meditation Practice
If you’re not already a meditator, you’ve likely met at least one person who recommend you give it a try. Even though it can seem a bit silly or unnatural at first, the more you do it, the more you’ll want to make it a part of your daily routine. And the more you’ll turn to it in moments of ...
Reframing Your Mental Health Condition
by Rich Monetti artwork by Andrea Jaffee If you deal with the symptoms of anxiety or depression, you might view them as scourges that hinder your day-to-day well-being. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, if you’re able to view your symptoms in a different and more positive manner, you may actually learn to live with them ...

Katonah Love: The New Sewer
When one thinks of Katonah, the word ‘spicy’ invariably comes to mind. It’s the ultimate singles scene. The perfect hotspot for romance, dating, and whatever hookups someone might want. Even the word “Katonah” translates roughly to “nights of passion.” (I think?) So, when I told my city friends that I was moving to this sizzling Northern Westchester neighborhood, they all ...
