Katonah Classic Stage
We weren’t sure what to expect when we attended Katonah Classic Stage’s fall performance of “Private Lives.” Would live theater in Bedford be any good? Thankfully, it was excellent. The dialogue was swift and punchy, and the actors didn’t miss a beat. It was fun, engaging and just a few minutes away. So we can confidently say that we’ll be ...
World Cuisines and the People Who Miss Them
Writing by Gia Miller, Justin Negard, Emma Richman and Maddie Slogoff We asked our neighbors to tell us about the foods they remember from their native countries.

Dear Luz #1
https://connecttomag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Luz.jpg Dear Luz, I can’t help it, I’m jealous of my best friend. She seems to have it all – the perfect husband, the perfect kids, the perfect life. Meanwhile, my life can best be described as “one hot mess.” My husband doesn’t appreciate all that I do, my kids fight constantly and I’m always late, underdressed and put my ...

How to Give Great Gifts
Writing by Josephine D'ippolito Artwork by Marilena Perilli There’s a certain pleasure that comes with giving the perfect gift. It could be a hard-to-find toy for a nephew, a first (or signed) edition for a voracious reader or a meal delivery subscription for the friend who burns toast. Whatever it is, matching the right gift with a loved one can ...
Making an Impact
It was several thousand more than they ever imagined. Bags and boxes of books were everywhere. In just three weeks, they’d collected more than 4,500 books during their very first book drive. The plan was to divide the books among a handful of their philanthropic partners, but there were so many that they started two libraries at elementary schools in ...

Reimagining the Future

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 ...
Empowered Optimism
Empowered Optimism – The only kind that really works We hear a lot about the importance of keeping a positive attitude, a.k.a. being optimistic. Like gratitude, it’s an overused term that we’re told we must do if we’re going to “live our best life” and “shed the negative beliefs holding us back.” The question is, how? With numerous not-so-positive things ...

A Night with Robin & Friends at The Bedford Playhouse
I was ready to take the world by storm. I was one semester away from earning my Global Liberal Studies degree from NYU when life came to a halt.
