Neshama Yoga With Jackie Tepper on Saturday, October 31st at Temple Beth El, 8:45AM-10am, FREE

Yoga first thing on Saturday morning?  To be candid, that was what I was thinking when I walked into Jackie Tepper’s first Temple Beth El near-dawn session many moons ago.  But all doubts fell away as I began to concentrate on the correct way to breath, then stretch and then…..bliss.  A spiritual act on a [...]

Nonna’s Brick Oven Pizzeria & Restaurant Opens In Ridgeway Shopping Center; FREE Dozen Chicken Wings With Purchase of Large Cheese Pizza and More Deals – Through Wed. October 28th

There is nothing like a New York area pizza.  I lived in Texas for 5 years and it was 5 years of Pizza Hell.

But up here, one pizza place is better than the next.  Stamford pie-makers just know how to throw that dough, I guess.

I have to admit I was a bit sad [...]
