Peekskill Artist, ArtsWestchester Winner, Gets Crafty PEEKSKILL, N.Y. — Marcy B. Freedman has been an artist a long time, with works included in more than 300 exhibitions across the country.

Unfortunately, this spring it's not just pollen that will have you sneezing. Dr. Jeffrey Sugar, an allergist in private practice in White Plains, said he's already seeing more intense mold-related allergy symptoms this spring, especially itchy, watery eyes.

New Rochelle Native Behind New Film, 'Beneath The Helmet' NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- If the name Rebecca Shore sounds familiar, it could be because you've seen her artwork at Inspiration Gallery, the Judiaca gift store on North Avenue in New Rochelle. Or maybe you've seen her name on the credits of the newly released film, "Beneath the Helmet," a documentary about life in the Israeli Army. The artist, educator and lecturer, now living in Israel, said she never imagined she'd be in the trenches walking nine kilometers backwards to film a scene in the hot sun, but that making this documentary was a labor of love -- and a story that needs to be told.…

Dobbs Ferry Chef Introduces Lighter Fare, New Entrees DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. -- Ready for a taste of spring? So are the folks behind Cedar Street Grill. A new spring menu at the Dobbs Ferry eatery was revealed last week, featuring lighter entrees and a host of classic cocktails, many of which use kitchen ingredients like herbs and syrups.

He's also turning to the grill more now that the weather has (finally) warmed up. And while you can still expect Southern-inspired …

PUTNAM COUNTY, N.Y. -- In case you missed it because you were too stressed to look up from your desk, April is National Stress Awareness Month, with National Stress Awareness Day set for April 16.

Fairfield County Foodie Reviews Le Fat Poodle In Old Greenwich FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. - What a breath of fresh air. As I dined at Le Fat Poodle in Old Greenwich it occurred to me that with the tiresome explosion of gastropubs and modern American restaurants all around us, this newcomer is a welcome change.
