A call for adventure in Westchester

What do you do when you're in your mid-20's, childless and living in Westchester, NY? You could follow my initial lead: complain and become a hermit. Or you could also follow my new lead: seek out the unexpected.

I've lived in Westchester County for three years now after moving here with my husband when he transferred to SUNY Purchase. You can imagine our surprise when google maps showed us an image of SUNY Purchase surrounded by 6 country clubs and golf courses. "Where's the college town?" we exclaimed. (A little secret: there isn't one). Initially we experienced culture shock (and price tag shock) and while we still feel tragically hip for this place, we try to forge a niche for ourselves within the community.

Recently I have met some amazing women who expressed some similar sentiments about settling down in Westchester. This blog is inspired by my experience and the experience of other young Westchestarians who are searching for unique experiences and novel places to shop, eat and socialize.

This blog will highlight my novel experiences in Westchester, including stores, eateries and entertainment that I've discovered. I also want to highlight other people's discoveries and encourage you to send me ideas to include in my posts.

Happy adventures!
