Ex-Mamaroneck Resident Appears On 'Today' Show For National Hotdog Day MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- Call it a "hotdog" of a job after college. Former Mamaroneck resident Angela Bumstead and Alissa Endres, a Wisconsin native, are two of 12 "hotoggers" in the country selected as the official Oscar Mayer Wiener "Wienermobile spokespeople." The two 22-year-olds are traveling across in the country spreading "miles of smiles." They attend parades, festivals, sporting events, and grocery stores handing out the coveted wiener whistles, a tradition that started 28 years ago.  And, since July 23 is national hot dog day (see Daily Voice story here), they drove their hotdog…

Dobbs Ferry Author Sees Book, 'Show Me A Hero,' Made Into HBO Miniseries DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. --  If there hadn't been a bingo drum deciding people's housing fates for a Yonkers lottery drawing 15 years ago, author Lisa Belkin, says she might never have written "Show Me A Hero," the book that HBO eventually optioned into a soon-to-be-released miniseries. The TV show, premiering Aug. 16 at 9 p.m and produced by David Simon (of "The Wire" and "Treme") is shot in Yonkers, using both area landmarks (hello City Hall!) and a host of extras who lived through the actual events.

X-Planations: Yonkers' Peter X. Kelly Creates The Perfect Summer Cocktail X-Planations: Yonkers' Peter X. Kelly Creates The Perfect Summer Cocktail
X-Planations: Yonkers' Peter X. Kelly Creates The Perfect Summer Cocktail YONKERS, N.Y. -- If there's a better way to celebrate a summer evening than with the perfect summer cocktail I don’t know it. With summer in full swing, I love to shake up the perfect libation by combining summer fruit served in a tall glass with adult elixers and a refreshing splash of soda. This cocktail not only cools the body but relaxes the mind (bonus points if you use local Hudson Valley fruit!).  For me, the ideal libation begins with vodka --  my Slovenia Vodka, of course. Slovenia Vodka is distilled five times for incredible smoothness. We use water from the Julienne Alps, …
