Drinks expert and award-winning author Noah Rothbaum has spent 25 years researching, reporting, and tasting whiskeys from around the world. Now, he brings his passion for whiskey to this comprehensive new guide, The Whiskey Bible: A Complete Guide to the World’s Greatest Spirit (The History, Secrets, and Lore Behind the Best Scotch, Bourbon, Irish, Rye, Canadian, Japanese, Single Malt, and More). Published on September 9, 2025, the guide offers up a country-by-country examination of the prominent distillers and whiskey culture, as well as tasting notes from hundreds of whiskeys and a collection of cocktail recipes.

I caught up with Noah Rothbaum to learn more about his background in whiskey, what inspired him to write The Whiskey Bible, and what advice he would give to those who find themselves intimidated by the spirit.

From an objective point of view, it may have appeared to be a tenuous idea. Bring a French restaurant to remote Sharon, CT … during the COVID-19 epidemic? Take over a spot that had been various iterations of casual eateries over the years and turn it into a local bistro? All of this after running successful restaurants in New York City – a place that has a few people in the neighborhood to sustain it?

Few have accused Robert Arbor of being conventional, and years on, Le Gamin has become more than a regional fixture. It’s a magnet – known not only for its food but also for the buzz of activity that has been built around this location. From breakfast latte and croissant or French toast “pain perdu” to dinner punctuated with steamed artichokes and “Merguez frites” (locally sourced spicy lamb sausages served with fries perfectly matched with a green salad and Robert’s wonderfully balanced salad dressing), the restaurant is more than a welcome fixture. It’s a trusted place to meet.

During this season, many of us vow to shed the weight we gained from the period between Thanksgiving and the New Year. In our quest to get healthy and fit, many of us make New Year resolutions. Fitness and losing weight are always popular picks.

Rather than joining a gym, try upping the fun factor by exploring workouts that you truly enjoy. There are so many to choose from, including upbeat dance-based workouts and even aerial yoga. Flip around, and practice inversions with the support of a silk hammock. Making your workout feel more like play will make it easier to remain committed.

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, I always like to think about the ways that I can give back to my community. During the holidays when spending is already tight, it can be especially hard to come up with additional funds to donate to worthy causes, but I think it would behoove us all to remember that we don’t always have to hand over money in order to make a difference. I’ve rounded up some local organizations where you can donate your money, time, or other goods in order to make a difference in your community.

As of this writing, the government shutdown has just ended. One contentious impasse involved potential reductions to Medicare and Medicaid. Another issue is depletion of health insurance availability.

Much has been said about the fear of small, rural hospitals having to close as a result of these changes. A less-mentioned effect is, “Not only that, but you won’t have an ambulance to take you to wherever the nearest open one is.”

Chatham and Greenport Rescue Squads in New York and Southern Berkshire in Great Barrington, MA, agree about what cuts could mean to them, and the service they provide you: It’s not good.

“Our whole philosophy centers around home and helping people find the resources that guide them toward where they want to live. Whether that’s through buying, designing, merging the two, or simply finding a beautiful pillow that brings them joy when they walk through the door,” explains Delyse Berry, co-founder of Upstate Down.

Upstate Down, based in Rhinebeck, NY, is a design-forward real estate company that encompasses a boutique brokerage, interior design studio, and home goods shop. Upstate Down’s mission is simple – to help people feel more deeply connected to where they live.

Just in time for the holiday season, new independent imprint Galpón Press has published a new deluxe edition of The Woodcutter’s Christmas, by Brad Kessler and Dona Ann McAdams.

Set between the serene beauty of winter in Vermont and the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, The Woodcutter’s Christmas explores the contrast between the slow rhythm of nature and the high-energy culture of society. The book was originally published 25 years ago and has long been unavailable, but has still become a modern, holiday classic that is cherished by those who own a copy. The original book now features a new selection of Dona Ann McAdams’ original photographs, as well as updated text by Kessler.

I love talking to people who love what they do. Their energy is infectious. When I sat down to talk to Eve Yohalum and Julie Sternberg at their newly opened store in Hillsdale, Books & Cake, even though they were coming off a grand opening the day before that, “exceeded our wildest expectations” and might have had them quite wrung out, they were grinning ear to ear with enthusiasm.

“Who doesn’t love books?” Eve asked. “Who doesn’t love cake?” Linda echoed.

Indeed, who doesn’t like books … and cake? No one that I know. And if you love books and cake, you will find yourself enchanted and happy in this slice of a store that offers both in an abundance of deliciousness. 🍰📚

On a gray Wednesday morning, George Whalen III invited me into the conference room of the Bank of Millbrook’s newest branch in Millerton, NY. Whalen may look like a banker, with a starched oxford shirt and tie, but his easy manor is spontaneous and genuine. Those who know him well describe him as “a good guy.”
