Anthony LoFrisco said he's been amazed at the response he's been getting since self-publishing his book, "The LoFrisco Family Cookbook: How Josie Brought Sicily to Brooklyn" in December 2016. That includes a glowing thumbs up from Publisher's Weekly, which he's still reeling over.

Their cozy three-month-old Pacific Café, where bikes line the side and back wall, has, in a very short time, become a magnet for customers -- and not just bikers. "Everyone seems to like it," said Julie. The cafe has a low-key vibe with free Wi-Fi, and the couples' dogs wandering about. In the short t…

Eastchester Entrepreneurs Want To 'Sock It To You' EASTCHESTER, N.Y. -- They haven't solved the dilemma of losing socks in the washing machine -- yet -- but Rob Baldino and Mickey Abbatiello have come up with a solution for more comfortable, better-looking dress socks for men that don't slide down your leg or fade in color.

Orseck, a holistic health coach, said that she would often discuss healthier lifestyles with clients and realized that there was a gap at the time in baked goods that she would eat or recommend. "I was very focused on eliminating foods that cause inflammation," she told Daily Voice. "For each person it could be completely …
