Eli Eats Blue Lobster and Sees Everything Seafood

Fall break is a much anticipated reprieve from college life, but it can also be a bit bizarre, especially if one is staying on campus to shoot their film project. It then gets really weird if that aforementioned project wraps by Saturday eve, meaning that one has three full days with nothing on the horizon. The campus is, in the words of ska revival band The Specials, “like a ghost town.” Friends have departed for warmer pastures. Professors are professing. There’s actually nothing to do, except Uber to the closest theater, the Picture Show in Berlin, Conn. (rest in peace Metro Movies), to see “You Can See Everything.” The good news is that, on the way, you can get lobster.

The Forgotten Theater in Connecticut Has an Eerie Backstory

In the heart of Derby, the state's smallest city, an old Victorian building that once uniquely served as both the community's bustling cultural center and local city jail now ranks among the most eerie abandoned places in Connecticut. The Sterling Opera House, which closed its doors in 1945, has long since been left to deteriorate and crumble, but remains a fascinating structure filled with rich history, local lore, and a possible paranormal presence.

National Register listed Owl Hill commemorates Battle of Fort Slongo

Nationally prominent patent attorney and historic preservationist Edmund Wetmore (1838-1918) appears to have bought land on a Fort Salonga hill in 1903, because it was minutes from the historic site of the Battle of Fort Slongo. This American victory Oct. 3, 1781, during the Revolutionary War garnered high praise from Gen. George Washington for the strategic planning of Col. Benjamin Tallmadge (1754-1835) that included then Tallmadge’s own personal reconnaissance. At the time, Tallmadge was also director of intelligence for Long Island’s Culper Spy Ring. Wetmore’s home and estate at Fort Salonga, purchased by Suffolk County in 2024 and now known as Owl Hill County Park, was recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

25 Famous Comedians You Didn’t Know Were From Upstate New York

New York City has long been one of America’s great comedy capitals, from earlier vaudeville theaters to Manhattan’s stand-up clubs and television studios. But some of the people who helped define American comedy came from places well beyond the five boroughs. Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Jamestown, Saratoga Springs, and the smaller towns of Upstate New York have their own connections to late-night television, sketch comedy, sitcoms, stand-up, and comic writing.

25 Historic Hudson Valley Estates and Mansions With Remarkable Stories

The Hudson Valley has been home to some of New York’s most remarkable country houses for more than three centuries. Long before the Gilded Age brought railroad fortunes, elaborate gardens, and grand weekend retreats to the river, colonial landowning families were establishing farms, trading centers, and estates along its banks. The Hudson was both a transportation route and a source of wealth. Land, agriculture, river commerce, and the labor of enslaved people and tenant farmers helped sustain the households that later became known for their imposing mansions.

Star Dem-backer Debra Messing endorses GOP’s Bruce Blakeman for NY governor: ‘What we need’

Enter stage right. Anti-Trump “Will & Grace” actress Debra Messing is snubbing Democratic incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul and instead backing Republican Bruce Blakeman’s gubernatorial campaign. It’s quite a sea change for Messing, who once stumped for Hillary Clinton for president and donated to far-left actress Cynthia Nixon’s campaign for governor in 2018 and has been, at least until recently, a staunch critic of Blakeman-boosting President Trump. Debra Messing and Bruce Blakeman during a fundraiser hosted by dietician Tanya Zuckerbrot in Manhattan, Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026. Blakeman Campaign But Brooklyn-native Messing, who even appears in a video with Blakeman, has complained about what she claims is a decline in her hometown’s conditions. “I am so grateful you are running. You are what we need more than anything,” she told Blakeman during a recent Manhattan fundraiser for the candidate hosted by dietician Tanya Zuckerbrot . Meet the 10-year-old fashion prodigy dressing Sharon Stone, Debra Messing “The decline in this city over the last four years has been so exponential and devastating — economically, socially and on every level. And obviously, we’ve lost so much business here. People are leaving,” said Messing, an NYU alum. Messing called the Big Apple the “city I
