What To Eat
The new Fortina Restaurant in Armonk
Fortina Armonk's new Fortina restaurant, in the almost complete Armonk Square, looks like an extra base hit and a real game changer for downtown Armonk.

HVSF at Boscobel: June 11-Sept 1
Alls Well That Ends Well If you ever felt like Shakespeare wrote in a foreign language, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival is for you. Their bawdy, contemporary take on Shakespeare's comedies will make you feel like you're watching an episode of 30 Rock. Even Shakespeare's difficult plays are made accessible by their economy of style and clarity. And the breathtaking views of the Hudson, and summer breezes wafting through the tented theater sure beats a stuffy old Broadway venue. Pack a picnic lunch and a bottle of wine and it's all good.  Read More
