Your week starts here, Westchester.

And apparently we’re line dancing, panning for gold and hanging out with Knicks legends this week. 😂

📅 We found your weekend, Westchester.

And apparently it involves hundreds of rubber ducks racing down a river, puppies doing yoga and a K-pop concert that could be one of the biggest events the Westchester Children’s Museum has hosted. 🦆🐶🎤

The Duck Derby is back this weekend, and having experienced the glorious rubber-duck chaos ourselves, it’s a great one for the family.

Elsewhere, there are circus performers in an orchard, farm caribbean nights, live music, family fun, date-night ideas and plenty more happening across Westchester and just beyond. Our Worth a Drives are always popular - and supported by our friends The Ardsley Car Wash

👀 And some of our favorite finds aren’t all even here. There’s even more fun, frolics and competitions! You’ll have to come to the newsletter for those. 😉

🎶 One of our favorite things about summer in Westchester isn’t a big festival or a ticketed concert.

It’s these free beach concerts at The Barley Beach House at Rye Town Park. The Barley Beach House Rye Town Park

We go every week.

Sometimes it’s because there’s an artist we’ve wanted to see for ages. That’s exactly what happened with Kashus Culpepper We genuinely talked about travelling to see him… then discovered he was playing right across the road from us. For free. How lucky?!

Other evenings, we simply head down to the beach, let the kids play while live music drifts across Long Island Sound, and enjoy one of those moments that reminds us why we love living here.

Tonight it’s Houndmouth, with Devon Gilfillian taking the stage on Thursday.

If you’ve never been, we’d absolutely recommend adding one of these evenings to your summer.

A huge thank you to 107.1 The Peak 107.1 The Peak WXPK for bringing such brilliant artists to our little corner of Westchester. ❤️

A few things to know before you go:

• 🎟️ It’s completely free.
• 🪑 Seating is first come, first served and opens one hour before the show.
• 🍔 No outside food or drink is permitted.

☀️ As always, check The Peak’s website or social channels before heading out, as weather and schedules can sometimes change.

📍 Babe’s Diner, Sag Harbor

We’re always drawn to places that take something familiar and give it a fresh perspective.

This tiny, eight-seat diner has quickly become one of the Hamptons’ most talked-about openings. It gives the classic American diner a fresh, thoughtful twist without losing the warmth and familiarity that make diners so loved. It somehow manages to feel nostalgic and fresh all at once.

We stopped by while we were Out East to see what all the fuss was about.

What we had:
🍗 Wings (half Butter Buffalo, half Lemon Pepper). We should have ordered more. So good.

🥗 Don’t sleep on the Caesar Cutlet Sandwich.

🥞 The kids made quick work of the chocolate chip pancakes, cheeseburger and Wagyu hot dog.

The milkshakes were taking the day off when we visited, but the giant cinnamon roll in the window was stealing the show.

✔ Worth adding to your itinerary if you’re heading Out East.

📍 Babe’s Diner, Sag Harbor.
🕒 Open daily (check their page for the latest hours).
🚶 Walk-ins only.

💛 Follow for more family-friendly finds, hidden gems and Worth a Drive recommendations from across Westchester and beyond.

Westchester has just got its first maman, and it’s a moment we’ve been patiently waiting for!

If you know maman, you’ll know they are endlessly creative, but always with the quality and taste to back it up. What we love about the new Rye location is that, although it is just as beautiful and elegant as others, it also feels like a space where everyone in the family can hang out. There are plenty of options for kids plus a little kitchen where toddlers can imagine their own creations.

No doubt, anything you get will be enjoyed but if you need a little inside info…

Their Salted Tahini Latte is one of our faves 👌🏻

The breakfast bowl features perfectly sized bits of bacon, potatoes, an egg, avocado, salad leaves (to feel less guilty about the bacon), and the most delicious caramelized onions that set it all off.

If you like sweet, tart, and fruity baked goods, their Strawberry Cruffin has the shell of a beautiful croissant that bursts into delicious strawberry sauce on the inside!

Did you catch the S’mores croissant stack in there…? Well behind those crunchy yet delicate croissant layers is the lightest, butteriest chocolate mousse! And they don’t go light on the filling!

There is a range of breakfast, lunch and drinks options. We can’t wait for you to try! Welcome maman, we’ll be seeing you… a lot.

Don’t forget to subscribe to our free newsletter! We give you great finds and the latest happenings from around the county and beyond, as well as everything you need to plan your downtime ~ twice a week! We want you to skip straight to the ‘enjoying yourself’ part!

Also, please give us a follow if you haven’t… we have great fun around here and would love you to be a part of it! 🧡

☕️ maman
📍 Rye, NY
🕰️ Mon-Fri: 7:30am-6pm
Sat-Sun: 8am-6pm
Kitchen closes at 4pm daily.

There’s a new face in Westchester sports… and today’s the day you can meet him.

If you’re heading to the World Cup Final Watch Experience at Kensico Dam this afternoon (🇦🇷 Argentina vs. 🇪🇸 Spain), keep an eye out for Hutch, Westchester Soccer Club’s brand-new mascot.

Named after the Hutchinson River Parkway, Hutch was chosen by fans and represents the pride, community and hard-working spirit the club brings to every match.

Today’s just the beginning.

After making his first public appearance at the World Cup Final, Hutch will make his official matchday debut this Wednesday when Westchester SC hosts the New York Cosmos.

We loved sharing Hutch’s story in this week’s Loving Westchester newsletter because it’s exactly the kind of local story we love telling.

If you meet Hutch today, we’d love to see your photos. Tag lovingwestchester and Westchester Soccer Club.
