Sports Page Pub
White Plains
(914) 437-8721; sportspagepub.com
Who knows how to do a sports bar better than an actual professional athlete? Now in
its new location, the Sports Page Pub, owned by onetime New York Giant Bob Hyland, is hooked up with a grand total of 46 TVs and
14 DirectTV receivers, so you always have
a good view of the game—practically any game. (College football fans rejoiced that the bar broadcast every televised college game available through Cablevision and DirectTV.) On the rare nights that sports are slow, there is Guitar Hero and Rock Band to take its place.

built this movie palace in the 1930s, it probably never figured that it would still be the center
of Peekskill’s cultural nightlife 80 years later. And, yes, the landmark building is still home to movies— good ones, too, like Winter’s Bone or The Kids Are All Right. But it has expanded beyond film to showcase innovative theater, experimen-

THE PEAK
White Plains
(914) 397-0127; 1071thepeak.com
We love The Peak not just because it provides the sound- tracks to our day—from older, forgot-about-it tunes with the
“10 @ 10” to brand-new, haven’t- heard-them-yet songs on Next. We adore it because it’s our local station, and we can treat The Peak like a neighbor. Love a song you heard on Next? Let the DJ know by voting in his weekly online poll (or by sending a friendly tweet @NextMusicShow). Wanna give the station more feedback? Join the “Listener Advisory Board,” where members often win cool prizes and get to attend intimate concerts with the station’s staff. Still hungry for more? Mingle with
listeners at the periodic Happy Hour/Mix CD Swaps. You can’t do that with your favorite satellite station.
THE PICTURE HOUSE
Pelham
(914) 738-3161 thepicturehouse.org
No, the offerings here are not yet as extensive as its counterpart to the north, the Jacob Burns Film Center. But the fact that the Picture House is even still here
is remarkable. The 1921 theater
