X-Planations: Yonkers' Chef Peter X. Kelly Shares His Pizza Picks YONKERS, N.Y. -- Who has the best pizza in Westchester? Of course, this is a very subjective question with very personal opinions. (I know Daily Voice readers recently picked Johnny's in Mount Vernon in the DVlicious contest.) From where I sit, it seems people often prefer the pizza they grew up with. Which means if you spent your childhood near Arthur Avenue in the Bronx yo'ure probably a fan of the beautiful pies that Full Moon offers every day. Or, if you grew up in downtown Yonkers as I did, you're still looking for anyone that can reproduce the delicious charred pies that the lo…

A partial list of Fairgate Farm supporters includes NestleWaters, Pitney Bowes, the Gartner Group, Design Within Reach, NBC Sports, Comcast, Johnson Controls, CPG Architects and Easter…

Three Brothers From Harrison Open Healthy Cafe In Mamaroneck MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- Harrision natives Anthony, Gregory, and Mark Caligiuri often questioned why Westchester was missing an establishment which catered to a more health focused lifestyle. So, they came up with their own solution, a juice/smoothie/salad eatery in Mamaroneck. Green Life Cafe opened on Mamaroneck Avenue in Mamaroneck on June 25 and so far, the family-owned business is thriving. "We have been totally blown away by the reception the town has given us," said Gregory Caligiuri. "Everyday I'm grateful to be seeing familiar faces and meeting new customers.

Sunglass Protection Is A Year-Round Concern, Says Rye Eyecare Expert RYE, N.Y. -- Sun protection doesn't just mean protecting your skin. So says Sue Bloom, owner of Rye Eye Care in Rye. Bloom said she always explains to patients how important ultraviolent A and ultraviolet B (UVA/UVB) protection is and how critical it is to have a good quality lens.

In addition, she said to check that your frame is comfortable. If it's not, you're not going to wear it. "Sung…
