For Armonk-Based Livanos Family, Restaurants Are In Their Blood ARMONK, N.Y. -- Food is the main topic of conversation at many a Livanos family gathering. As the owners of six restaurants -- City Limits in White Plains and Stamford, Oceana, Molyvos and Abboccato in Manhattan, and Moderne Barn in Armonk -- Corina Livanos says it's part of the family's fabric. "My husband likes to joke he needs another person in the family to talk sports with as when we're all together, we talk a lot about the restaurants," she said.

Fairfield County's Supporting Role Fades As 'Mad Men' Airs Final Episode FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Well, "Mad Men" fans. This is it.

Cos Cob was prominantly featured last week when Ad Exec Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser) pleads for his wife, Trudy (Alis…
