Prep for Hurricane Irene

The sun should be out today and temps in the 80s, according to the National Weather Service, but all eyes will be on Hurricane Irene, the now category 3 hurricane that could make its way to our area tomorrow evening. Gov. Cuomo has called a state of emergency and the Bedford PD recommends residents sign up for Nixle alerts. Check back with Patch for continuing updates on the storm. 

See Moonfleet

If you’re swapping outdoor activities for indoor ones, here’s an idea: the 1955 flick Moonfleet is showing at Jacob Burns on Saturday and Sunday afternoon with $ tickets for kids. More info here.

Planning a same-sex wedding?

Then head to the Radisson Hotel in New Rochelle tonight at 5 p.m. to check out a variety of different wedding vendors. The event is hosted by the LOFT and you can find more info here. 

Farmer’s market

With the latter half of the weekend looking like it could be wash out, get your outdoor fix early Saturday at the John Jay Homestead Farmer’s Market. Bonus: If you’re out and about early, there’s all a free workout class. Info here and here.  

Discount drinks

Long week? It’s “Ladies night” at JP’s Lounge at Le Chateau in South Salem. You’ll find more info here and you can check out the menu here.
