 We made it to February! Reward yourself for making it through one of the hardest months of the year with a s'mores sandwich from Hudson Valley Marshmallow Co., (next door to BJ's Soul Food) who sources their special chocolate squares from Alps Chocolate just up the block, and makes their own flavored marshmallows in their kitchen in Beacon. If you don't like marshmallows - because we usually don't either - it doesn't matter. This little mallow is placed on a perfectly measured square of chocolate between two cookie crackers, then blow-torched to melted, squishy perfection. We've got the video.
Yes, we are encouraging you to fatten up for a long winter of more snow, so get snuggly and get your own blow-torched s'more and keep on enjoying Main Street.
Let's get to the Things To Do!

You need to go into Luxe Optique to see it to believe it. These handmade frames were made in France by Francis Klein Paris, custom-designed for Luxe Optique, and the designer even takes custom design orders from you. There are several others.

It's sort of incredible - the building that houses Homespun and the apartments above it is for sale. From the realtor: "Beautiful historic three-story brick building located on Beacon's booming Main Street. There are four one-bedroom apartments, one retail space downstairs with bistro-type tenant with an amazing back patio. This location is growing fast with two new condo construction projects going in next to and across the street. Building was gutted in the early 2000s. All apartments have separate utilities and central air paid by tenants. Apartment rents: $1,350, $1,350, $1,450, and one on the market for $1,600. Retail tenant (Homespun) has about four years left on lease. Rent changes with the season but averages about $2,450/month."

Our friends at Antalek & Moore want to remind everyone not to wait for the temperature to warm up and melt the snow! Removal of snow in front of your home and/or business is crucial for the safety for those walking on the sidewalk. If someone slips and falls and gets injured, they could sue, so having insurance is important for that extra protection. If you are unable to shovel in front of your property, snow-melt salt or kitty litter will work just as well. |
