  My brothers and I grew up in a Long Island suburb. After graduate school, I came to Greenwich to teach, and stayed. My children grew up here, and now I have grandchildren in town as well. But I also have two grandchildren who live in New York City, and I have concluded that city kids lead very different lives. Suburban kids go everywhere in cars. They are driven to their destinations by parents and nannies, do...

  JD will be playing at Sundown Saloon this Friday @ 10 PM! Tell us how you became so in love with music and how long you have been pursuing it as a career?

Wake up, East Coast oenophiles!  Donelan Family Wines is a boutique winery that prizes quality over everything.

  What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I love to put on great dance music and dance with them.  My husband and I are big music lovers and the kids have definitely inherited that trait.  I have a 6 year-old girl, a 4 year-old boy and a 2 year-old boy.  I hope that one day they have kids and a family like...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I have three children and there are different things I like to do with each of them.  My oldest, Grace, is 12 and a bit of an old soul.  She loves to watch I Love Lucy with me (still a fave of mine), see Broadway shows and spend time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art...

    What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? The boys are now 4 and 6, and we are an active bunch – always running around, for sports or no reason at all. But the projects I enjoy most are the ones that rely on imagination and craft – building forts out of branches and sheets, racetracks and rocket ships out of cardboard boxes...
