š Loving Westchester's Weekend of the Arts: Music, Film & Craft Lovers Rejoice!
Plus, there's a bit of winter magic left for a weekend that'll feel closer to spring

Hello, Westchester!
Weāve made it to Friday, and that feels worth acknowledging.
The first full week of the new year has landed, routines are back in motion, and by now thereās usually a shared sense of āokay, that was a lotā. January has already reminded us itās winter, then briefly changed its mind, and the milder stretch looks set to carry us into the weekend.
This edition is here to help you step out of the week and into something lighter. A few good reasons to leave the house and ease into the weekend.
January doesnāt ask for grand plans. It asks for small comforts, low-pressure outings, and moments that feel like relief rather than another obligation.
Weāve got you covered. Have fun, friends!
Bec+Wes
