Shakespeare Meets Taylor Swift In New Rochelle 'Pop-Up' Performance NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- Eight students from New Rochelle High School turned the patio of the Wykagyl Starbucks into a stage Thursday afternoon in a "pop-up" performance as part of the City's "Art Ecounters."

Since this happens far too infrequently than either my wife or I would like, we try to choose carefully. But, like everyone else, we have our favorites. We also like to try out whatever is new or interesting. More often than not, we are drawn to area restaurants where I know the chef and respect their work and attitude.
