New Trader Joe's stores coming to NY: See the locations

Two new Trader Joe's stores are planned for New York, expanding the popular grocery chain's presence in the state. The California-based retailer announced plans this summer to open new locations in the Syracuse area and Yonkers as part of its latest nationwide expansion. The plans add to the company's growth in New York, which includes a Long Island store that opened earlier this year. The expansion comes as Trader Joe's continues to draw shoppers with its private-label products and competitively priced groceries. Where are the new Trader Joe's stores? According to Trader Joe's, the two planned stores will be located at: Camillus: 3515 W. Genesee St., in the Syracuse area. Yonkers: 2482 Central Park Ave. The Camillus store, located just west of Syracuse in Onondaga County, will be about 9,000 square feet and become the area's second Trader Joe's.

This Connecticut Horse Rescue Lets Retired Horses Roam Wide-Open Pastures And Few Families Have Ever Visited

Brewery and kitchen opens in Port Chester, designed around music history

Run & Hide Brewing and Kitchen has a new home. After being in Port Chester for four years, Tim Shanley and his family have moved to a larger location a few blocks away in the newly built Joplin Residences . The 80-seat space — what Tim describes as "a restaurant with a brewery on the premises" — opened Nov. 6 with a grand opening set for Nov. 14. Grooving to the music at Run & Hide Along with freshly brewed beer and food, which includes the grilled pizza Tim has long been known for (more about that in a minute), it's also a place designed around music. Tim, a self-described “washed-up musician,” and his 22-year-old son, Thomas, a longtime concertgoer, have filled the space with photos and posters commemorating performances at the neighboring Capitol Theatre . Among them is Janis Joplin, the artist for whom the apartment building that houses Run & Hide is named. Some history: Where Run & Hide stands was once Vahsen's Bar where, on Aug. 8, 1970, Joplin, songwriter Bob Neuwirth and friends, improvised the lyrics to "Mercedes Benz." A plaque outside the building tells the story of how, inspired by a phrase from poet Michael

New Canaan YMCA: More Than Just A Gym

There’s a feeling people get when they walk through the doors of the New Canaan YMCA. It’s a feeling of belonging, a feeling of support, a feeling of possibility, and it’s a feeling of the community coming together. The Y is more than just a place to exercise, and often there’s more happening in the facility than a member may even realize.

This Connecticut Deli Is Bringing Back The Simple Pleasure Of A Proper Made-To-Order Sandwich

The bread for these sandwiches comes from a bakery in the Bronx. Every single day. That’s a serious commitment to a loaf, and I respect it. The mozzarella doesn’t travel at all. It’s made right in the shop, sometimes twice a day. I can’t imagine a better...

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