North Salem's Ambrosi Is On the Cutting Edge NORTH SALEM, N.Y. — No matter how much you pay for a knife, "it's only as good as it cuts," says Robert Ambrosi, owner of North Salem's Ambrosi Cutlery.

It was Robert Ambrosi's immigrant grandfather who started the business in the early 1900's, trudging Manhattan's streets with a grinding wheel mounted on a horse-drawn cart. "In those days, a knife-sharpener called at butcher shops, delis, restaurants and homes, staking…

Former 'Nanny' TV Star Talks Diets At White Plains Performing Arts Center WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Renée Taylor, best known for playing Fran Drescher’s mother on the TV series “The Nanny,” calls herself a "food tramp." "I'm very good at feasting and fasting," she said. "In other words, I can eat a lot and I can eat a little but I'm not good at maintaining a 'normal' eating life. That's why I'm a food tramp -- because I eat around." The 81-year-old actress, who says she remembers her life around what she was eating and what everyone around her was eating, admitted she's tried every weight loss program in the book -- and even ones that aren't in the book.

Mount Kisco Welcomes Winston To Its Restaurant Scene MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. — Michael Williams' life — so far — has taken him from a childhood in Korea, to Kenyon College in Ohio, to New York's French Culinary Institute, and thence through a broad spectrum of cooking experiences, until he reached his present position as Executive Chef of Mt.

Stamford Restaurateur Takes His Port Chester Trattoria Back To Its Roots PORT CHESTER, N.Y. -- Stamford resident and restaurateur Marc Tessitore has reinvigorated his Port Chester restaurant in honor of its 10th year. "As we approach almost a decade at nessa, our reflections about the business are humbling," he said. "Opening a restaurant can be like a fistfight for some; you’re open one minute and closed the next; for others it’s a lifelong pursuit of nurturing. It's much like theater, when the curtain opens, there is no going back, so preparation and hard work is key to success." As a way to honor the restaurant's original mission Tessitore brought back th…
