šŸ’— Loving Westchester's Mid-Week Favorites: Star-Studded Screenings & Showcase Showdowns

Plus, an Oysterfest in Tarrytown and a block party bash in Sleepy Hollow

Hello, Westchester!

 

Hope you all came away without any damage or headaches from the storm over the last few days. If you are still dealing with any service outages or issues, there’s a handy info sheet full of contact details put together by the Westchester County government here.

 

We tried to sneak a few quick stops in on Saturday with a trip up to Sleepy Hollow for the Goblin Market at the Hudson Valley Writers Center and then back to Rye for a lovely, little time at the Edith Read Fall Fest… (shout out to the bug curator, fascinating!) The pre-storm sun on Saturday never really panned out and felt more like a waiting room until the nastier weather hit, but if you were able to get out into the world and see anything interesting, let us know!

 

On a positive note, a few really cool events were postponed to their rain dates this coming weekend (ahem, SUP Witches Festival), so we still have those to look forward to. With the sun coming back later this week and the leaves getting more colorful, this week & weekend should make for a great chance to venture out and make the most of fall in the area. For leaf color seekers, ILoveNY.com has a great little fall foliage map to point you in the right direction.

 

Hope you enjoy the events below, it’s a really good mix for mid-week fun. Have a great one and catch you Friday!

šŸ” Where the Heart Is…

Incredible homes are listed in Westchester every week. Here’s one that caught our eye…

 

Listed by Coldwell Banker Realty

250 Route 100 is a late 1800’s Victorian with all the beauty you’d expect from the period but with modern touches. The 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home spans 4,400 square feet and is set on 11.6 acres in Mount Kisco, opposite the New Croton Reservoir and the Kitchawan Preserve.

 

Every room in 250 Route 100 is as grand as the next with intricate parquet flooring, high ceilings, a La Cornue stove and wide-plank flooring in the kitchen… all with the feeling of privacy and seclusion while being less than 10 minutes from the conveniences of downtown Mount Kisco.
