Hello everyone! 

As we are currently super close to the beginning of October, I felt it was appropriate to make a blog post about all the Halloween events you can go to here in Westchester County.

Greenwich Polo Club

Hello everyone! For today’s blog post, I’m going to do something I’ve never done before. I’m going to write about a place that I have never been before and don’t really know anything about, the Greenwich Polo Club. If you’re wondering how this idea came about, it was from one of my friends who said that I would love it and would have incredible things to write in my blogs. So I am going to take her advice and write about a place I have never been to before, learn about it along the way, and hopefully by the end of it, this place that I have driven past many times will become a place that I and all of you reading will want to go to.  I feel the best way to start writing about it is by explaining its history. It was first established in 1981 by industrialist and art collector Peter Brant, who also started the White Birch Polo Team, and I recently found out that either him or the father of the current owner is married to my friends’ aunt. Since it opened, the club has expanded from on...

American Dream Mall

  In today’s blog post, I am going to write about one of the most fascinating places in the East Coast, The American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey! I was initially unsure if I wanted to write about it, as I didn’t know how far away it was, but after seeing that it’s less than an hour away on the quickest routes there, I knew that I had to write about it. It is the second largest mall in the United States, and it has so many big features that it had to open in stages, with an indoor amusement park and ice rink opening on October 25, 2019, an indoor skiing and snowboarding park opening on December 5, 2019, and an indoor water park and all the retail stores and dining establishments opening on October 1, 2020. The history of the mall is almost too long to get into, and if I try writing about all the businesses there, I will never finish writing about it anytime soon, so I will instead focus on the restaurants here, the entertainment businesses, and the indoor amusement par...

I am going to write about certain restaurants again today, but this time it’s going to be restaurants that are participating in the Stamford Downtown Winter Restaurant Weeks.
