Ainsley Hayes Creates a Tour-Worthy Holiday Home in New Canaan

Ainsley Hayes loves an old house, especially around Christmas, so decorating her clients’ 1838 home for last year’s Newcomers Club of New Canaan Holiday House Tour felt like an extraordinary gift. As an interior designer and principal of New Canaan–based Ainsley Design, Hayes had worked with the homeowners on this house as well as their previous residence. With two small kids and an adorable English Labrador retriever underfoot, durability was key. Fortunately, Hayes was able to reuse much of their existing furniture before layering in some traditional pieces and accessories to fit their new home.

Bill Murray spends Halloween at a Yonkers bar

It was a treat, not a trick at Rory Dolan's in Yonkers when actor/comedian Bill Murray showed up on Halloween. The McLean Avenue bar is continually festive — owner Rory Dolan hosts a party no matter what night Halloween falls on, but this being a Saturday, it was particularly celebratory. And all the more so when Murray came in with two friends, ate dinner (he had rib-eye and a nice bottle of wine), and later, helped pour Guinness from behind the bar. Food: It's Halloween season, here's where to eat in Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown Dolan said he was friendly with customers, many of whom approached him to talk about their favorite movies of his. Dolan, meanwhile, discussed golf courses around the world with him, including prime spots in Ireland. Murray also told Dolan he wanted to check out his place because of its reputation as having great energy. Murray's sighting, which Dolan displayed on his restaurant's Instagram page, was the latest in a string of celebrity spottings this fall. J-Lo was seen at Coffee Unique in Bronxville getting coffee while New York Knicks Point Guard Jalen Brunson, a Scarsdale resident and Laughing Horse regular, was seen in Harrison.

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.
