Pelham Resident Opens Oyster Bar In Mamaroneck MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- Ray Schramm of Pelham doesn't eat oysters, but he sure knows how to shuck them. His newly opened North East Oyster Company in Mamaroneck-- literally a long bar in a narrow storefront -- is all about regional oysters plucked from the shores of Long Island and other area waters. The bar -- he is careful to note it is not a restaurant -- opened March 29 and offers a variety of four to six oysters, depending on what's fresh. "I am focusing on northeast oysters in the spirit of supporting local/regional grower/farmers," he said. "Most people like to try all the choices…

X-Planations: Yonkers' Chef Peter X. Kelly Talks Tuscany YONKERS, N.Y. -- A few years ago my wife and I, along with Dylan, who was 15 at the time, took a trip to Florence and Tuscany. Of course all of our traveling revolves around food and wine and this trip was no different. We landed in Florence and spent a few days touring around. I've been before -- as had Rica - but this was Dylan’s first trip to Italy and it was fun to see the city through his eyes. Florence is an amazing place culturally and architecturally from the Duomo to the Pitti Palace and all the artwork that adorns the museums and churches. It’s a lot to take in but because it'…
