We love welcoming bright new faces to Yonkers! Brooklyn native and millennial, Denise Francis, moved to Yonkers from Brooklyn this July. The move allowed Denise the opportunity to live in her dream apartment at an affordable price. I was looking all over New York City, all of the boroughs, New Jersey, basically everywhere - but, I was pretty unsuccessful finding a place that was beautiful, worth the price and not too far away. So, this Brooklyn girl ended up in Yonkers beca...use this had all the things that I needed. Denise works as an art director at a Brooklyn non-profit, is the CEO of The Self Love Organization and she’s a content creator on YouTube. We are so happy to have her in Yonkers!

Websites like delish.com have free, easy and delicious cocktail recipes you hav...e to try. - Make an at-home movie theater and use Teleparty or another streaming service to watch something fun with faraway friends and family. - Write flexible, realistic and entertaining 2021 resolutions. FaceTime with friends and family to share your hopes and aspirations. - Bake and decorate! There’s no way like celebrating than baking a cake, decorating it festively and enjoying it! - Watch the New York City Virtual Ball Drop! For once, you can be sitting at home without missing out on the celebrations in NYC! - Get a bottle of Champagne to pop at midnight!

In the past seven days, over 1.4 million cases of coronavirus have been reported across the United States. In Westchester, there have been over 4,000 cases reported. With this being said, the CDC has announced that the safest way to celebrate winter holidays this year is at home, with the people you live with. Traveling and gathering with friends and family who do not live with you can increase your chances of getting and spreading COVID-19. We know that there is no place l...ike home for the holidays and being surrounded by loved ones is what makes the holidays so special, so here are some ideas for celebrating the winter holidays safely: - Host a virtual celebration with friends and family. Schedule a time to eat a meal with loved ones or host a virtual ugly sweater contest. - Decorate for the season! Decorate or create a winer holiday scene and taking holiday photos at home. Make holiday crafts, cards or baked goods and send or deliver to family, friends and neighbors. - Look up holiday crafts DIY for unique and fun activities! - Drive or walk around your community to look at decorations or visit a local holiday light display. - Enjoy the winter weather. Build a snowman, snow fort, or go sledding! - Find virtual opportunities to help those in need.

While celebrating Thanksgiving amid a global pandemic is not ideal, it is possible. We’re here to help you celebrate safely!

Just because you’re home doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate with people you love. Schedule a time to host a virtual Thanksgiving meal with friends and family who don’t live with you. During dinner, have people share recipes and show their turkey, dressing, or other dishes they prepared. Virtual attendees can also participate in a gratitude activity, like writing down things you are grateful for and sharing with your friends and family.

Mayor Mike Spano joined with Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Councilman John Rubbo and residents to officially open the New Main Street Community Garden, located at the corner of New Main Street and School Street. In early 2018, the members of the Latin American Youths Group noticed a vacant lot in the area being used as an illegal dumping ground; with permission from the City of Yonkers, they began the monumental task of cleaning up the lot, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were forced to suspend their efforts and in July 2020, equipped with renewed energy and additional volunteers, they restarted their efforts to completion.
