We are now well into the 21st century and things in Scarsdale have moved on, including the famous – or infamous depending on your point of view – Scarsdale Diet. Developed by Dr Herman Tarnower who lived in Scarsdale in 1978, it was similar to the Atkins diet, calling for high protein, low fat, low carbohydrates, but also emphasized fruit and vegetables. The book received an unexpected surge in sales when Dr Tarnower was shot dead by his lover Jean Harris in 1980.
We love Norwalk! And it’s not just because we have a dry cleaner in the city either. There’s some lovely countryside around like Devil’s Den Preserve for hiking and watching the wildlife. We like Calf Pasture Beach too. We can do a bit of fishing off the pier and have a drink and snack in the café. Have you ever been round the Norwalk lighthouse? It dates from 1868 and has ten rooms filled with antiques and furnishings.
