Got a Sec?

We spent our Saturday at Caramoor’s American Roots Music Festival. And because Americana, jazz and blues were on the table, we decided to ask folks what topic they’d choose if they wrote a blues song. From Roe vs. Wade to the environment and even a beloved dog, there was no shortage of blues topics at this music festival. Tahra Delphi, ...

Writing by Emma Richman Photography by Oona Owen & Justin Negard When Katonah resident Agathe Assouline-Lichten was approached by an anonymous company looking for baking kits, she wasn’t sure what to think.

Rhinebeck had established a concrete initiative to tackle the issue of inclusion by creating accommodations for people who are neurodivergent – an issue that is often swept under the rug. In nearly ...
A Haven in Cross River

A Haven in Cross River

Elizabeth Kemler wanted a shop that would feel like home. She envisioned a space with relaxing music and bohemian decor that enveloped visitors as they entered, and to quickly shake away the chilly distance that normally lingers between purveyor and customer. For her, a shop should be less about buying and more about relaxing. This was the vision she brought ...

What I Learned From Teaching

Writing  by Leslie Dock Artwork by Giobbi Maybe you have heard the phrase “You learn by teaching.” Psychologists have a term for this; it’s called The Protégé Effect.

Citrus Fling

Citrus Fling Spring has finally arrived! That means longer days filled with outdoor activities like sports, hiking and yard work. But my favorite spring activity comes at the end of a long day – relaxing with a cocktail while I watch the sunset from my front porch. If you don’t have a porch, this cocktail will taste just as good ...

This is a vegetable they test you ...

It helps prevent excessive weight gain, improves your mood, boosts your energy, can prevent certain health conditions and even helps you fall asleep faster. Plus, recent research from Kaiser Permanente in southern California has shown that regular exercise also helps decrease the severity of COVID-19.  But exercise also ...

Thankfully, Caramoor sees you, and they’re ...
