💗 Loving Westchester's Weekend Warm Up: Sesame Street Sees Stars & Our Pro Soccer Club Returns

Plus, a long overdue HPN glam up may be on the horizon

March 06, 2026

 

Happy Friday, Westchester!

 

We promise the warm weather is coming… though it certainly hasn’t felt like it so far this week. It hasn’t technically been freezing but definitely not beach weather, either. And while those 70-degree days have been pushed out until the middle of next week, we should hit 60 this weekend.

 

While that might not be warm enough to get your toes in the sand, it doesn’t mean you can’t daydream about it. And actually doing it may be getting a bit easier with some big news for local travelers this week. Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins has announced a feasibility study to modernize the terminal at Westchester County Airport. For anyone who's flown out of HPN recently, you'll know this is overdue. The project won’t be about expansion and passenger limits will stay as they are. This is purely about bringing the terminal up to speed with today’s travel expectations, improving comfort, safety and efficiency. This got us thinking about how our readers use HPN. We'd love to know your thoughts...

Closer to home, Westchester SC kicks off their second season Saturday night in Mount Vernon, the Art Crawl on the Hudson transforms downtown Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown into an Instagram-worthy trail of local artists and merchants, and International Women's Day celebrations include special programming at the Children's Museum in Rye and a “Women in Wine” tasting in Port Chester. Plus, Jesse Welles and Lyle Lovett visit The Cap and Hudson Valley Restaurant Week continues.

 

We hope you make the most of it and enjoy the weekend!
