Queen Latifah goes back to Newark to build the homes her city needs

Long before the Oscar nomination, the Emmy and the Grammy, before “Ladies First” turned a teenager into a cultural force, Dana Owens, a.k.a. Queen Latifah, was a Newark kid learning the rhythm of her neighborhood’s corners and stoops. Decades later, she went back to those same blocks, this time carrying blueprints.

After they were taken to a local shelter by a good Samaritan, Furever Home Dog Rescue brought the puppies to New Jersey where Ash is currently being fostered. This boy loves cuddles, being held, puppy kisses, and belly rubs. He often falls asleep right on top of you. Ash loves running around with his stuffed bunny and flipping it into the air.

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.

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. Here, chef/owner Michael Abruzese combines Parmesan, anchovy, lemon, Dijon, Worcestershire, olive oil, red wine vinegar and

This New Jersey Trail Reveals a Lost Forest at Low Tide

When the tide drops, rows of old cedar stumps poke up out of the mud like a forest that forgot to leave. They sit in a marsh right behind a busy shopping center. Those stumps are what’s left of an Atlantic white cedar forest that once covered this part of New Jersey. Today, egrets, ducks, and geese wander past them while cars hum along a nearby highway.
