Sleepy Coffee, Too Finally Opens their Doors
If the line to get into Sleepy Coffee, Too’s April grand opening serves as any indication of the caffeine void the shop will fill on Sleepy Hollow’s Beekman Avenue, their baristas are going to be very busy this year. An actual red carpet lined the street as people eager for a peek at the handsomely outfitted space and its offerings queued down the block patiently, waiting for a chance to finally step inside. But patience is a virtue founder Kim Kaczmarek knows well. When she first ventured several years ago to expand on Sleepy Coffee (the program run by Sleepy Hollow high schoolers with disabilities that Kaczmarek set up in her past life as a special education teacher), renovating the space from scratch became quite the undertaking.

Review: Les Arts Florissants – Henry Purcell’s ‘The Fairy Queen’ at Caramoor
Saturday’s staging by Les Arts Florissants of Henry Purcell’s 1692 masque The Fairy Queen at Caramoor in Katonah, New York was a summer dream to remember. With a loose connection to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, it captured beautifully the sense of wonder and enchantment that the play embodies and that Purcell, one imagines, dreamed of when he fashioned this piece.
