Destination Ridgewood!
We stand corrected on the hiatus of the Ridgewood Pedestrian Plaza; it doesn’t include the activities of Destination Ridgewood. The YMCA’s Pedestrian Plaza will be held on Saturdays and Sundays through October 9, 2023.
Thank you for the correction, Ridgewood Village Council Member Pamela Peron, RHS 1974:
Please note, all the entertainment and activities in Destination Ridgewood are continuing as scheduled in August and right through October 1. The only difference is that the roads in the central business district will not be closed.

Drink Me Up
I got to Coney early and as I sit at Ruby's bar enjoying a cold beverage...I step outside after a brief rain storm and take this - looks good enough to drink.

Mark Porro
A Cup Of Tea On The Commode
Happy Anniversary to these two.
"She remained single until 1947, when mutual friends introduced her to Noel Porro. He was an army veteran, a chemistry student, and a devout Catholic from nearby Floral Park. Noel took a shine to Genevieve and took her to a Columbia University football game. Not the most romantic first date, but it proved to be a winner. Less than a year after they cheered on his alma mater to victory, family and friends cheered on Noel and Genevieve as they walked down the aisle, but not before tragedy struck again. Wilhelmina Brennan died of a heart attack just six weeks before the July 17, 1948 nuptials."

M + A NYC
Mighty Are We As One
M + A is a destination devoted to art, artists, artisans and design. We are inspired by art as it relates to design: the soul, the spark that ignites beautiful ideas. We are equally as motivated by craft traditions passed down from generations.
