Westchester Magazine, Jonathan Ortiz
Fast food and healthy dining don’t typically go hand in hand, but if there’s one trend with any hopes of fixing that it’s fast-casual dining. Fast-casual eateries aren’t always health-minded, but with the ability to customize each dish with fresh and seasonal ingredients, a handful of local favorites, like Dig Inn and Little Beets, have quickly landed themselves among health-conscious foodies’ top spots to grab lunch.
And now, a new player in town is bringing all that and more with build-your-own poke bowls.
Chen’s Poke came on the county scene in September 2019, opening the doors to the franchise’s second eatery on Main Street in White Plains. The first Chen’s Poke opened on Long Island last April, and a third is planned to open on Bedford Street in Stamford, CT. The clean, modern interior and large windows provide the perfect setting for the photoshoot you’ll definitely have with their vibrant, Insta-ready menu options.

Dataism
Many contemporary artists anchor their work in the collection and shaping of data: to engage with this aspect of daily life, probe present realities, and imagine the future. These artists seek to reclaim the mining and interpretation of data as an illuminating and empowering cultural practice.
Dataism brings together artists in the tri-state region who use both existing data sets and data collected by the artist. They explore various spheres of contemporary life and experience, from interpersonal relationships to climate change, consumerism, social media, financial markets, privacy and surveillance.
