šŸ”„ Walter's Hot Dogs & Bona Bona Ice Cream Collide This Friday

Plus, Pete Davidson's podcast hits The Cap stage & 90s classics by candlelight

April 21, 2026

Hello, Westchester!

 

We hope you had a great weekend! Ours was sports filled - both little league and major! We persisted despite the weather on Sunday, and hope it didnā€™t dampen your weekend too much! Weā€™re seeing more events popping up midweekā€¦ and not just for the kids. Itā€™s not all about the weekends anymore as things start to open up a bit. Weā€™re always looking for a good excuse or three to start the weekend vibes a little early.

 

Case in pointā€¦ Pete Davidson is recording a live episode of The Pete Davidson Show at The Capitol Theatre this week. Tickets are still floating aroundā€¦ and, in a very Westchester twist, so is his North Salem house, which, as it turns out, is also on the market.

 

Thereā€™s a ā€œBest Night Everā€ happening in Port Chester (bold claim, but weā€™re willing to hear them out), candle-making with the kids at Shake It Off, Chazz Palminteri at Bedford Playhouse, and a 90s unplugged set that might be hard not to sing along to.

 

All of which is to sayā€¦ thereā€™s plenty here, whether youā€™re planning ahead or just looking for something to drop into.

 

Speaking of dropping in, we did just that on Saturday at Larchmontā€™s brand new Millieā€™s Provisionsā€¦ chaotically wonderful (it was a very busy opening day!). Weā€™ll tell you all about it in Fridayā€™s Eats-Chester.

 

So, letā€™s get into itā€¦

This charming carriage house has kept its historic character with details like plank wood flooring, leaded glass windows, window seats, and a wood-burning fireplace. The home blends old-world charm with modern updates. The formal living room has a fireplace, and the dining room flows into a brand new expanded kitchen with a huge island, breakfast area, and butler's pantry. High-end appliances include a Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf stove and speed oven, Miele dishwasher, and wine fridge. There's a new half bath and laundry on the main level, plus a family room. Upstairs you'll find a primary bedroom with en-suite bath, plus three more bedrooms and another full bath. The basement offers plenty of storage. Outside, a new patio opens to a fenced yard. The home has central air, fresh paint, an electric car charger, and energy-efficient insulation. You can walk to town, schools, shops, and restaurants.
