For Armonk-Based Livanos Family, Restaurants Are In Their Blood ARMONK, N.Y. -- Food is the main topic of conversation at many a Livanos family gathering. As the owners of six restaurants -- City Limits in White Plains and Stamford, Oceana, Molyvos and Abboccato in Manhattan, and Moderne Barn in Armonk -- Corina Livanos says it's part of the family's fabric. "My husband likes to joke he needs another person in the family to talk sports with as when we're all together, we talk a lot about the restaurants," she said. In the family's defense, she said they're all working at different locations so they don't get together as much as they'd like to. …

Fairfield County's Supporting Role Fades As 'Mad Men' Airs Final Episode FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Well, "Mad Men" fans. This is it. The finale of the AMC show airs Sunday, but not without most likely showcasing, or at least referencing -- cross our fingers -- various Connecticut locales and landmarks. While Fairfield County hasn't been as prominantly featured as Westchester, with Rye and Ossining getting their 15-plus minutes of fame over the years, Cos Cob and the Metro North train to Greenwich have gotten air-time as well. Cos Cob was prominantly featured last week when Ad Exec Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser) pleads for his wife, Trudy (Alis…

Cos Cob was also prominantly featured last week when Ad Exec Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser) pleads for his wife, Trudy (Alison Brie in rea…

As 'Mad Men' Winds Down, Ossining Historian Behind Town Details, Reflects OSSINING, N.Y. -- Norm MacDonald, curator of the Ossining Historical Society, still wonders if he gave the right information about the color of Ossining's street signs in the 1960s years ago when the researchers of "Mad Men" first called him. It would be one of about 150 queries he got from the Los Angeles-based AMC folks who grilled him on everything from the price of real estate in 1964 to what kind of paneling was in the courtrooms. "They were very nice," he said. "It was fun," though he admitted he often had to look up the information rather than answer on the spot. He said the cal…
