As 'Mad Men' Winds Down, Ossining Historian Behind Town Details, Reflects OSSINING, N.Y. -- Norm MacDonald, curator of the Ossining Historical Society, still wonders if he gave the right information about the color of Ossining's street signs in the 1960s years ago when the researchers of "Mad Men" first called him. It would be one of about 150 queries he got from the Los Angeles-based AMC folks who grilled him on everything from the price of real estate in 1964 to what kind of paneling was in the courtrooms. "They were very nice," he said. "It was fun," though he admitted he often had to look up the information rather than answer on the spot. He said the cal…

Harrison Resident Opens Taqueria With Nod Towards Healthy, Fresh, 'Green' HARRISON, N.Y. -- Luis Aguilera cares about Harrison. So much so that when he came up with the idea of opening a healthy, authentic Mexican taqueria, he decided to stay in his own neighborhood. "This place can be a bit of a ghost town after 5 p.m.," said the Harrison resident. "It's not like other towns where you see people walking around, window shopping and going in and out of bars and restaurants. And so, I'm hoping this is the start of something." He said it's coincidental that Two-Seventy-Three Kitchen, a Mediterranean cusinine and wine bar opened down the street around the same ti…

X-Planations: Yonkers' Chef Peter X. Kelly Critiques The Critics YONKERS, N.Y. -- Most restaurant owners dream about being reviewed from their local newspaper, website or regional magazine. Many chefs and owners go to great lengths, in fact, to research the quirks, likes and dislikes of the critics. I even know of restaurant owners who have created menus around what they think the critics like to eat and drink. Waiters and managers look for telltale signs -- guests scribbling notes, customers asking pointed questions, the guest whispering into his sleeve, trying to keep the recorder hidden. The cat and mouse game of “find the critic” goes on ni…
