Meet our state’s largest terrestrial carnivore and learn the remarkable survival strategies it employs to survive and thrive through the harshest New England winters.

All hail the Caesar salad; best ones in Westchester, Rockland

Fall is a time for soups, apple cider and pumpkin everything but for me, there's comfort in Caesar salad. Call it romaine romance: What's great about Caesars are that they're light enough to remind me of summer but substantial enough (especially when you add salmon or steak) to be a meal. There's also something comforting about the combination of crisp lettuce, creamy dressing and crouton crunchiness that leads to my Caesar state of mind. Whether you prefer yours with chicken breast and romaine lettuce, plumped with kale, or topped with anchovies (a divisive factor, I know), menus in Westchester and Rockland have an option with your name on it. What follows are a few of my favorites, keeping in mind I'm a no anchovies gal (though I'll get them mixed in.) More: 19 new restaurants open in Westchester Polpettina, Eastchester Sometimes, the original is hard to beat. Which is why the Caesar at Polpettina has my attention. While I wouldn’t call it entirely traditional — there’s nothing about this place that feels old-fashioned — it certainly embraces the philosophy of making every ingredient count.

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.
