Hello everybody! As the holiday season is currently upon us, though some will probably say that we have already been there for the past several weeks, I feel it only makes sense that I write about holiday events in Westchester County and Connecticut. My hopes in writing this post as always is that any or all of these events are intriguing enough to all of you reading to go check them out. The first event I am going to talk about is one of the most unique ones imaginable. It is a New York City and Westchester Holiday Lights Helicopter Tour. Yes, that’s right. You can take a holiday light tour of Westchester County and New York City from a helicopter that leaves from Westchester County Airport from December 1 to December 31. Some of the sights you will see include Midtown Manhattan, Central Park, The Empire State Building, Times Square, Freedom Tower, Battery Park, Ellis Island, and The Statue Of Liberty. The next event is at the Octagon House in Irvington, and it is an immersive house t...

And I’m just going to say this right now, this year was definitely one of the best ones ever! I am now going to go over some highlights of this years event, as I feel that going over everything will be too boring. For those of you who don’t know, me and my dad head over to Downtown Stamford on Friday, the day before the Inflation Party to see how they have gotten ready. Mostly, this consists of us heading over to Hoyt Street to see where the road is numbered for where each balloon will go, and all the barricades that will be used to block people from the balloons. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, here’s a picture of it. During our journey to Stamford at this time, we also noticed some other things. These included the fact that there were also numbers on other parts of the street, which were for all the marching bands, dance troupes, and floats, another ...

Hello everybody!  It’s been a while since I wrote about restaurants, so let’s change that today!  It took me some time to decide what to write, but ultimately, I decided to search for what the internet said were the best restaurants in Connecticut, and from there, give you all a virtual tour of the interesting foods on their menus!
