š An Emerald Mile March & Phishing at The Cap
Plus, kid's sushi making in Scarsdale and a Revolutionary tea party in Dobbs Ferry
Happy Friday, Westchester!
Anyone else throwing open their windows? Even just for a minuteā¦ letting the air in, pretending itās warmer than it is, welcoming a bit of life back into the place.
Spring officially arrives todayā¦ whether the weather agrees or not. As one of my favorite Irish poets, Seamus Heaney, once wrote, āIf we winter this one out, we can summer anywhere.ā
Weāll likely be calling Pinkās soonā¦ if only so we can see it all come into bloom a little more clearly!
Well, you have a great weekend ahead of youā¦ while St. Patrickās Day may have fallen midweek, itās spilling into the weekend as it shouldā¦ loud and full of life, but also in some quieter ways.
Back home, thereās always room for both. The pubs, the music, the paradesā¦ but also the smaller moments. A bit of fresh air, a nice walk, brunch with people you love. Itās the little details really, isnāt it?
In Irish (Gaelic Irish), there are countless ways to describe things we might only have one or two words for in Englishā¦ the moods of the weather, the way the wind moves, the soft drizzle that doesnāt quite count as rain. It says a lot about how weāre taught to notice things. To be in them.
And with that, this weekend is shaping up nicely! From parades and planetariums to wine tastings, comedy nights, live music, and a very good excuse to go hunting for treasure just over the borderā¦ thereās plenty to get out for.
SlĆ”n go fĆ³ill (for the weekend that's in it!)

š” Where the Heart Is
Incredible homes are listed in Westchester every week. Hereās one that caught our eyeā¦
Listed by Compass Greater NY, LLC
32 Lynwood Road is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2,215 square foot home from 1917 on a 6,534 square foot lot in the Greenville neighborhood. This classic residence has hardwood floors and a fireplace. Built over a century ago, the home has the character and charm you'd expect from that era. The layout gives you 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with room to spread out. There's 3 parking spaces, which is always a plus. The lot is a nice size for the neighborhood and gives you some outdoor space to enjoy. Greenville is one of those quieter Scarsdale neighborhoods with tree-lined streets where you really get that community feel. It's the kind of block where people know each other and kids play outside.
Walking distance to Scarsdale Metro-North (about 33 minutes to Grand Central). Close to Il Sorrento, Sapori, and One Rare Steakhouse. Seely Place School (rated 10/10) and Edgemont Junior Senior High School (rated 10/10) nearby.
