We know flexibility matters just as much as fun during school breaks. At Brooklyn Robot Foundry, we’ve got you covered. Each day, children will build, decorate, and take home a brand-new robot (no repeats) while learning through hands-on tinkering, creativity, and collaboration. And we’re right here in Mamaroneck at Harbor Island.
In addition to our robot-building project, our days include outdoor or movement time, games, arts and crafts—and yes, the occasional dance party. Whether your child joins us for a morning, a full day, or the whole week, we’ll keep them energized, engaged, and excited to come back.
Build with us!

Vinyl Wednesday
2026-02-18 17:00 - 2026-02-25 20:00, 2026-02-25 17:00 - 2026-03-04 20:00 | Jazz on Main, 37 South Moger Avenue, Mount Kisco, NY, 10549, United States
Vinyl Wednesday – A listening lounge in one of the best-sounding rooms around.
Jazz on Main is known first and foremost for its sound. Designed as an exceptional acoustic room for live music, the space reveals detail, warmth, and depth that most bars simply can’t.
On Wednesdays, we turn that room into a vinyl listening lounge — no live band, no cover, just carefully selected records played in a space designed for sound.
WEDNESDAY HAPPY HOUR

Doors open at 5:00 p.m.
Happy Hour from5:00–8:00 p.mm.
A relaxed start to the night, designed for lingering.
Happy Hour Specials: Basic cocktails – $10, $2 off all house cocktails
No cover.
No minimum.
Just good drinks, good sound, and time to unwind.

WHY THIS ROOM MATTERS. Most bars play music. Very few are built for it.
Jazz on Main was designed as a listening room — controlled acoustics, balanced reflections, and a layout that lets sound fill the space without overpowering conversation. Vinyl Wednesday exists because this room deserves to be used — even when there’s no band on stage.
WHAT IT IS

No live music
No cover charge
Vinyl records played with intention
A room tuned for clarity, warmth, and depth
Full bar and kitchen open
This isn’t background music. It’s music presented in a room that respects it.

THE MUSIC (GENRE-OPEN, QUALITY-DRIVEN). Vinyl Wednesday isn’t limited to jazz. You may hear:

Jazz (classic, modern, vocal, instrumental)
Soul & R&B
Funk & groove
Blues
Latin & Afro-Cuban
Classic rock & singer-songwriters

The rule isn’t genre. The rule is: it has to sound good in this room.
THE VIBE

Lights low, not dark.
Volume present, not loud.
Conversation flows without competing with the music.
Come early for happy hour. Stay late if the room pulls you in.

Jazz on Main is a neighborhood cocktail bar, listening room, and live jazz venue. Vinyl Wednesday is a weekly listening lounge at Jazz on Main, a cocktail bar and live music venue in Mt. Kisco, Westchester County, NY. Open every Wednesday with happy hour from 5–8 p.m.

The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band- Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour
2026-03-13 20:00 - 22:00 | Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, 1008 Brown St., Peekskill, NY, 10566, United States
On Friday, March 13, The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band brings his Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour to Paramount Hudson Valley. Thirty years ago, a Fender Strat–wielding teenager from Shreveport, Louisiana, rocketed the blues back into the mainstream with the Platinum-selling Ledbetter Heights—a fiery, hook-smart, and reverent burst of guitar prowess that cut through the grunge era and reintroduced blues to a new generation. That breakout vaulted Shepherd from small clubs to Top-10 charts and earned him industry acclaim, a passionate fanbase, and a spot in Guitar World’s rankings just behind B.B. King and Eric Clapton. Now a master rather than a prodigy, Shepherd has returned to where it all began with a faithful, full-band re-recording of his landmark debut in honor of its 30th anniversary. On this national tour stop, the band will perform the entire 12-song album live, then follow with a second set spanning highlights from Shepherd’s three-decade career. “This is the album that put me on the map, and I still enjoy listening to it because my goal has always been to make music I want to listen to—unfiltered and straight from the heart,” Shepherd says. Fans will recognize the fire that first defined Ledbetter Heights, now sharpened by refined arrangements and more nuanced, intentional guitar work. Expect the bluesy bluster of the opener “Born with a Broken Heart,” a slowed-down, smokier reinvention of “Riverside,” and the singular chemistry of longtime collaborators—including co-vocalist Noah Hunt and legendary drummer Chris “Whipper” Layton of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. Co-produced with Jerry Harrison and tracked with Shepherd’s original 1995 rig, the new recording completes a full-circle moment while keeping the flame roaring. Shepherd’s journey from teenage sensation to enduring torchbearer includes five Grammy nominations, multiple Gold and Platinum releases, Billboard and Blues Music Awards, acclaimed projects like the documentary 10 Days Out: Blues From the Backroads, and tours alongside icons from Van Halen and Bob Dylan to Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. At Paramount Hudson Valley, the Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour is both a tribute to the album that “gave him everything” and a celebration of an artist who refuses to stand still—one foot planted in blues tradition, the other roaming the vast rock ’n’ roll landscape.
*As a reminder, no outside food or drink is permitted in the venue. Any patron found with outside alcohol is subject to removal. Backpacks and large bags are not allowed inside the venue. All guests are subject to bag checks and security wanding upon entry.

Grounding & Self-Regulation Skills for Stress, Anxiety & Worry
2026-03-15 11:00 - 13:00 | 55 Church St. Suite 415 White Plains, NY 10601, 55 Church St. Suite 415, White Plains, NY, 10601, United States
Led by Veronica Vaiti, LCSW-R, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Bhava Therapy Group, this 2-hour immersive workshop offers participants practical, science-backed body-based tools to better regulate stress, calm anxiety, and reduce chronic worry.
Many individuals experience persistent tension, racing thoughts, irritability, and emotional exhaustion — even when nothing appears outwardly “wrong.” This workshop reframes those experiences not as personal failures, but as signs of an overworked nervous system that can be retrained.
Participants will learn:
– How the nervous system responds to stress
– Why traditional “just relax” advice often fails
– Real-time grounding techniques
– How to build a personalized regulation toolkit
“This workshop is about helping people understand what’s happening in their bodies,” says Veronica Vaiti. “When we learn how our nervous system works, we can move from overwhelm to regulation in ways that feel grounded and sustainable.”
The workshop is interactive and experiential rather than lecture-based. Attendees will leave with techniques they can immediately implement — at work, at home, before sleep, or during difficult conversations.

El Concurso de la Cancion Nacional Ecuatoriana (The Contest of National Ecuadorian Song)
2026-03-15 12:00 - 18:00 | Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, 1008 Brown St., Peekskill, NY, 10566, United States
El Concurso de la Canción Nacional Ecuatoriana (The Contest of National Ecuadorian Song) is an amateur competition open to performers of all ages. Participants showcase traditional Ecuadorian musical styles, including albazos, pasillos, san juanitos, and tonadas. The competition unfolds over three elimination rounds, culminating in first-, second-, and third-place winners. The event has been held for more than two decades, with interruptions only due to COVID and other extraordinary social circumstances.
The organizing committee is deeply committed to preserving and celebrating Ecuadorian culture within the broader community. This event offers migrants a meaningful opportunity to share their heritage with those unfamiliar with Ecuador’s roots, while also passing these traditions on to future generations living far from their homeland.
*As a reminder, no outside food or drink is permitted in the venue. Any patron found with outside alcohol is subject to removal. Backpacks and large bags are not allowed inside the venue. All guests are subject to bag checks and security wanding upon entry.
