Al­though Irv­ing­ton al­ready has its fair share of cof­fee shops, Bliss Bake­house is a joy­ful ad­di­tion to Main Street. The small, pas­try-filled shop is the pas­sion pro­ject of mar­ried cou­ple Al­i­son Stin­son and Ja­son Breen, who spent the last 10 years bring­ing their vi­sion to sweet fruition.

“This has been a dream of mine for a very long time,” says Al­i­son, an artist who grew up in Hast­ings. Af­ter grad­u­at­ing from the French Culi­nary In­sti­tute, she worked in bak­eries and restau­rants in Man­hat­tan and Long Is­land. For the last few years, she ran her own lo­cal cake de­sign/​cater­ing busi­ness.

Westch­ester County Ex­ec­u­tive Ken Jenk­ins de­liv­ered his sec­ond State of the County Ad­dress last week, out­lin­ing a year of mea­sur­able progress, con­tin­ued in­vest­ment and a peo­ple-first ap­proach to gov­ern­ing.
“If any­one asks what is the State of our County—tell them it is not found in a re­port, a spread­sheet or a speech… The State of our County is our peo­ple… your strug­gles, your re­silience, your hopes—and your voices,” Jenk­ins said be­fore the Board of Leg­is­la­tors, de­part­ment heads and in­vited guests.
