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.

This 18th-Century Connecticut Barn Was Transformed Into a 5,000-Square-Foot Entertainment Space

Unless you are dedicated to colonial living, chances are the ancillary structure on your property is not being used as originally intended. That’s certainly true for one Fairfield County family of six, who transformed an old dairy barn into 5,000 square feet of ebullient entertaining space—and then some.

Knicks star Jalen Brunson to appear on 'Law & Order: SVU'

Scarsdale resident and New York Knicks Point Guard Jalen Brunson makes his scripted acting debut as Detective Jay Madison in NBC's "Law & Order: SVU" at 9 p.m. Nov. 5. Brunson, whose friendship with actress Mariska Hargitay became a high-profile fandom during The Knicks playoffs and eventual "Knicks in five" win in June, was bound to be on his friend's long-running show. The episode, titled "Forsaken," fulfills a "bucket list" item for Hargitay who told NBC's Savannah Guthrie in May that the athlete was someone she wanted to make a cameo appearance on the show. Celebrities: Bill Murray spends Halloween at a Yonkers bar Brunson, who's been all over the news (and in coffee shops throughout Westchester; see him here at Laughing Horse in Harrison), hosted NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in late September. As for his SVU appearance, there's a teaser showing his character interacting with Hargitay, aka Olivia Benson, at a diner, but no more details. "Law & Order: SVU" has been seen filming all over Westchester recently including at the Pleasantville Diner in Pleasantville and Addyman Square in Ardsley where Peter Scanavino aka ADA Dominick Carisi, Jr./"Sonny" stopped for a slice at Baci in the Square.

Mark your calendars for one of Greater Danbury's most beloved family events: Ann's Place 24th Annual Festival of Trees on Friday, November 20 through 22, 2026 at The Summit in Danbury (100 Reserve Road). I've been attending this event with my daughters (age 17 and 14) since they were just toddlers! It has always been a highlight of the season for us. We put on festive attire (the trees make a wonderful backdrop for holiday photos!), load up on raffle tickets to try to win some of our favorite trees, shop the boutique, enjoy baked goodies and take in the sounds of the holiday entertainment! And the best part is that the event helps to raise funds for Ann's Place -- an amazing local resource dedicated to help individuals and families in the community who are facing cancer. This is one event not to be missed!
