NewRoc Now

Walking out of Merry Go Round toy store, my life saver for children’s birthday parties and recent NY Times feature, I saw a new (to me) purple awning for a store called Ambrosia. It turns out to be one of the nicest galleries in New Rochelle featuring African and Jamaican inspired paintings and some sculpture. I am no art critic, but I liked the feel of the place. Ambrosia also had some very nice hand bags and jewelry and is owned by a very nice and friendly Woman. It’s a really tough business to be in and even tougher in the nascent stages of the rebirth of New Rochelle, but it’s definitely worth the walk down to 176 North Ave. to check it out.
