Got a Sec?
At Katonah Connect, we have a very strict "you must embarrass your kids" policy. We've found one of the easiest ways to do this is with something we like to call "roll-up music." Roll-up music is the music you blast with your windows down as you drive into a crowded place. School drop-off, baseball practice, King Kone...wherever our kids make ...
Hey Harvest Fest, Blues Traveler Would Like Some Pita Chips, Please
When The Pound Ridge Partnership asked us if we’d like to interview Blues Traveler guitarist Chandler Kinchla (who goes by Chan), we said yes, of course. But what can you ask a band who has no secrets? In true Katonah Connect style, we created a dozen unconventional questions, and Chan happily played along. Forty minutes later, we’d covered everything from ...
Classic French Cuisine Comes to North Salem
In 2020, chef Andrea Calstier and his wife Elana Oliver were ready for their next move. Born and raised in Marseilles, France, the high school sweethearts were living the American dream. They’d moved to Manhattan in 2017 and opened their first restaurant a year later, when they were only 23 years old. Papilles was a 10-table restaurant in the East ...

Last Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
If you’re like me, then you have completely forgotten that Mother’s Day is next Sunday, you don’t have a gift and now you look like an ungrateful child. (Sorry, Mom!) Well, fear not – my editor asked me to compile this list of things you can find in the area that your mother will love. Experiences My mother says that ...
The Newest Home Trend: Optimizing Spaces
The economy and current events heavily influence our homes. We can thank the end of the 1918 flu pandemic and World War I for the glitz and glamour of the 1920s. The stark modernism of the 1930s is due to the Great Depression and the beginning of World War II. The rebelliousness of the 1960s brought bold, youthful colors and ...
Bringing Charity Home
We proudly worked with local charities to bring attention to their well-deserved causes. Check out our day of glamour and fun.
Home & Garden
Mill River Supply
Nestled in the hamlet of Bedford Hills sits the closest thing many local gardeners, landscapers and farmers will likely ever have to their own version of Cheers. You know, the place where everybody knows your name. But this place doesn’t serve beer or have a tall, rangy guy named Sam running the joint. Yet everybody knows the regulars, and for ...
Summer Pet Safety Tips
Summer heat can be hard to bear, especially for our furry friends. While us humans can just go inside, sit in front of the AC and down a cold drink, our pets rely on us for their comfort and safety. In these dog days of summer, it’s especially important to pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and be wary ...

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 ...
Making Meaning Where You Can’t Make Sense
“Some things in life cannot be fixed; they can only be carried.” ― Megan Devine, author of It's Ok that You're Not Ok I’ve spent many years trying to make sense of my psychological and circumstantial struggles, ever on the lookout for “signs” that would clue me in to the reason for it all — the spiritual rationale, the big “why.” ...
Westchester Meditation Center Comes Home
We could all use a bit more peace in our lives. But it’s not always easy to carve out the time to just sit and relax. Luckily, the Westchester Meditation Center (originally the Westchester Buddhist Center) is returning home. Beginning in January, they’ll offer 12 weekly community meditation classes on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 at the Bedford Hills ...

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 ...

2023 Pride Events
Before this year, I’d never been to a pride event before, and I didn’t know there were any in Northern Westchester. I felt alone, and like my community didn’t support me. But now that I’ve learned what’s around us, I want to shout it from the rooftops….or write it about online. Here’s what’s on the gay agenda for June, so ...
