We Camped with Wolves Just Outside of New York City
I awoke to a symphony of wolf howls so intense they seemed to commandeer the entirety of the woods, my tent included. I smiled and tiny tears welled up in my sleepy eyes. Soon the day's first light twinkled, and it was time to go see my new Westchester wolf friends.

4 Authentic Cajun and Creole Restaurants in Westchester

In 1995, the town had 42 of them, one restaurant for every 523 residents. Certainly, a big slice of Ridgefield’s 20th Century fame lay in dining, but much of the notoriety stemmed from a quintet of top-flight inns.
Roots Music, Live and Local
When most people rattle off the names of great blues guitarists, they name such British stalwarts as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Of course, this does a total disservice to the African-American luminaries they all learned from, including Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, B.B., Freddie and Albert King, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf.
Walking to and Fro to Eye Dance, Sky and Sculpture
<First published online in the New York Times on July 8, 2008>. BEACON, N.Y.. To return to Merce Cunningham’s choreography, no matter how good or bad any other dance you may have been watching of late, is to have the palate cleansed. At first you just see movement, much of which is neither pretty nor obviously expressive, but it’s always substantial, complex, arresting.

Even Together, Alone: An Ethos of Soloism and Independence
<First published online in the New York Times on May 19, 2009>. BEACON, N.Y.. “Go placidly amid the noise and haste.” The opening words of Max Ehrmann’s “Desiderata” have often come to mind while watching Merce Cunningham’s dances. The fact that some of the scores he uses are babels of conflicting sound has often made for good philosophy and great theater: the dancers proceed through the cacophony collected and unperturbed.
