4 Authentic Cajun and Creole Restaurants in Westchester
Cajun and Creole cuisine refers to the traditional food of Acadia (South Louisiana). Creole cuisine encompasses the dishes of those born in Acadia before it became part of the U.S., including French Canadians, West Africans, indigenous Chitimacha and Choctaw peoples, and people of Spanish descent from the Caribbean.

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.

<First published online in the New York Times on December 8, 2008>. BEACON, N.Y.. “Love consists in this,” the poet Rilke wrote in a famous passage, “that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.” On Saturday and Sunday the choreographer Merce Cunningham’s two Events at Dia:Beacon began with multiple solitudes: all 14 of his dancers pacing around a huge L-shaped space (the audience sat on two outer sides of the L, facing a Sol LeWitt white sculpture on the inner side), all doing more or less the same steps but never at the same time and never making connections.
