After closing in August for a refresh, the longtime Roslyn restaurant at 21 Bryant Ave. has reopened this month with a French-inspired menu, a new executive chef and a redesigned dining room — though the restaurant's exact new name depends on who you ask. Owners Diane and John Durkin say they are overseeing the kitchen personally, working alongside new executive chef Ryan Macuska on a menu built around Dover sole, rabbit confit and chanterelle mushroom puffs.

Lynbrook Says Ciao to New Italian Café, Affogato

Atlantic Avenue recently welcomed a “sweet” addition to its already existing stores, Affogato Café. Located next to The Bowl, Affogato Café has been the talk of LHS ever since its opening in early September. Affogato Café is an authentic Italian café prioritizing fresh and simple ingredients in its delicious treats. This café makes for an exciting, new place students can go to during off periods. Rather than the usual bagel or slice of pizza from neighboring businesses, at Affogato, students can buy a fresh-baked pistachio croissant or a ham and cheese sandwich served on imported Italian focaccia, all for a reasonable price.

A 400-Mile Source to Sea Exploration of the Connecticut River

On his second night paddling down the Connecticut River, Joe Roman reached his campsite worn out, climbed out of his kayak, and realized the boat was starting to drift off behind him. It took everything he had to jump in and grab it. “I did not want to call my boss, Alex, and say, ‘I lost the boat day two. Come pick me up.’” Hence one of his tips for paddlers: tie a line to the bow and leave it in the boat, so you can grab it as you climb out.
