After all, if you're going to indulge in this winter warmer, you might as well go for the good stuff. Some area options (in no particular order): Valrhona Hot Chocolate, City Limits: Created by Pastry Chef Tracy Kamperdyk Assue, this rich, decadent drink is …

Wolfert's Roost, A Sister To Good-Life Gourmet, Opens In Irvington Wolfert's Roost, A Sister To Good-Life Gourmet, Opens In Irvington Wolfert's Roost, A Sister To Good-Life Gourmet, Opens In Irvington
Wolfert's Roost, A Sister To Good-Life Gourmet, Opens In Irvington IRVINGTON, N.Y. -- If you can guess the connection behind the name of Eric Korn's new restaurant, Wolfert's Roost, and the village of Irvington, you obviously know your town history.

(Google it: Before "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" the author named his estate after Wolfert Acker, a Colonial-era American.) The goal of his new space, what Korn affectionately calls "The Roost," is run by Jennie Werts, a French Culinary …

Hanukkah Gifts In New Rochelle NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- With eight days and nights of Hanukkah, there's not the same crazed rush as there is for Christmas to find all the right gifts for that one day.
