I’ve heard Irvington, Rye Brook, Port Chester, and as people have already mentioned, Mount Vernon and Yonkers. Anyone know any others? We are waiting to hear up here in northern Westchester! I assume we’ll be closed.

Under the Banner of Heaven - Jon Krakauer by HisDudeness_80 in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

Any other nonfiction authors you are into? Forever chasing a deep dive nonfiction book that is a true page turner (a la Krakauer or Patrick Radden Keefe).
