Cold Brew Coffee Is The Hot New Thing In Westchester WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- This summer, cutting-edge coffee is all about cold-brew, a centuries-old method that offers Westchester County residents fresh nuances in flavor. Not to be confused with iced-coffee (in which hot or chilled espresso-based coffees are served over ice), cold brew takes coffee grounds steeped in room-temperature water for up to 24 hours to produce a concentrated coffee essence which is then diluted with water, usually by 50 percent. This super strong, bracingly cold ode to coffee geeks everywhere is served at the following locales. Antoinette's Patisserie, Has…

Olive Oil Shop Opens In Valhalla VALHALLA, N.Y. -- The idea for The Twisted Branch in Valhalla came out of a vacation White Plains resident Rich Cozza took a couple of years ago. He and his wife had visited a small shop that sold olive oils and vinegars while camping in the Adirondacks and the idea of owning such a place stuck in the back of Cozza's mind -- for years. And so, last fall the telecom engineer and his family decided it was a "now or never situation," -- despite the fact that Cozza has no food background (other than being Italian and being a cooking enthusiast). He partnered with his sister and brother-in-…

Will You Read 'Go Set A Watchman,' Fairfield? FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Will you or won't you? That's the question many folks are asking about the new Harper Lee novel, "Go Set a Watchman." It's summer after all, which often means beach reading time. But with all the chatter about Atticus Finch, one of the main (and beloved) characters from the 1960 novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," turning from "good" to "bad," people -- and the media -- are full of opinions. Tell us yours.

X-Planations: Yonkers' Peter X. Kelly Reveals (One Of His) Favorite Chefs YONKERS, N.Y. -- There may be one question that I am asked nearly every day by guests, friends and family, and that is: What is your favorite restaurant or who is your favorite chef? These days there are so many great restaurants and chefs out there that it is too hard to pick just one. However, if you asked me who is the chef I have the greatest respect for as a culinary visionary and operator, the answer would be Jean-Georges Vongeriecten. I've known JGV since 1990 when he first arrived in New York to be the chef at Lafayette at the Drake hotel where he received four stars from the Ne…

Greenwich Native Turns To Kickstarter For Aviator Fashion Business GREENWICH, Conn. -- Colby Kane came up with the concept for his Aviator brand of clothes while jogging around Tod's Point in Greenwich. The longtime designer and art director, who grew out of the fast-paced world of New York City fashion as an art director at Macy’s, admits he started the clothing line nine years ago as a way to evoke the "jet-setter lifestyle." One of his first accounts, in fact, was with Mitchells and Richards (in Westport and Greenwich), and it grew from there. “I was passionate about producing American-made vintage preppy inspired clothes,” he said. The Greenw…
