Final Two-Days of Savanna & Steep’s Pop-Up Bistro 

Friday and Saturday, September 5 and 6, 18 S Broadway, Nyack

Savanna & Steep’s is a place where good karma is served with every cup, where we blend history, art, and community support. By attending this pop-up event, you are helping preserve a historic building, foster the arts, and support Soup Angels in their mission to serve meals to those in need for 20 years. Let’s create positive change together!

Afternoon tea is a cozy, relaxing way to enjoy good company over small bites and a pot of tea. It usually includes a mix of sweet and savory treats—like finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and little cakes—served on a tiered tray. It’s not about rushing or a full meal, but about slowing down, sipping tea, and savoring the moment.

Check out our tea totaler photographer Andrea Swenson’s photos of the lively and relaxing scene here.

Rivertown Film presents Sorry, Baby

Wednesday, September 10, film begins at 8:00pm, doors open at 7:30pm, Nyack Center, 58 Depew Ave, Nyack

 What does it mean to suffer and survive, without being defined by it?
That’s the backbone of “Sorry, Baby” Written, directed and starring Eva Victor.
Victor plays Agnes, an English Lit professor. Some years earlier, something traumatic happened to her that altered her life. The film is arranged non-chronologically, and it opens with Agnes eagerly expecting a visit from her close friend and former housemate, Naomi. Their relationship is beautifully nuanced and rich. Naomi’s visit also brings Agnes’ trauma to the fore. In flashbacks we learn how her life has been separated into “before” and “after”.

But Agnes refuses to define herself as either a victim or a survivor. The viewer is invited into a rounded world of vibrant, real faces and places. Rolling Stone called the film “an amazing display of someone knowing how to get their voice and vision across.”

Director Nancy Savoca (“Household Saints”, “The Twenty Four Hour Woman”, “Dog Fight”, “True Love”) will lead a discussion after the movie.
