Grimaldi's Pizza is Set to Reopen Historic Brooklyn Bridge Location on March 29
The Grimaldi’s Pizza headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona has never managed the original, foot-of-the-Brooklyn-Bridge location, which operated as an independent pizza shop until recently. However, Grimaldi’s has announced that its iconic 1 Front St. pizza shop will now be managed in Arizona as well, and will reopen on March 29 after renovations are complete. The restaurant, located at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, will feature two floors of rustic, family-friendly décor, signature red and white gingham tablecloths, wine bottle chandeliers, and black and white photographs of Brooklyn that evoke the location’s storied past.

How to Adjust to Being an Empty Nester
The day has finally arrived. Your youngest child has been dropped off and is now a college student, which makes you an Empty Nester. Marriage therapists see the gamut of reactions – from “yippee” to “oy vey.” If you fall into this latter category and are entering this new life phase with trepidation (or even dread), you are not alone. “We help a lot of couples normalize the transition to becoming Empty Nesters,” says Nicholas Strouse, Director of Westport Family Counseling. "Couples have a lot of expectations and stereotypes. We help them reality-test, and avoid some of the possible pitfalls. We show them how to listen to each other and to themselves… and return to being a team… but, a different type of team… not as parents, but rather, as partners…like they once were, or maybe only now are having a chance to discover.”

40 Dinosaurs Will Come Roaring Back to Life at the Bronx Zoo in April
The Bronx Zoo has featured dinosaur exhibits before, but the zoo’s newest Dinosaur Safari is the biggest and most realistic dinosaur ride in the country, according to the zoo. The experience will take riders through 2 acres of woods, in which they will meet animatronic dinosaurs including two 40-foot-long infamous T. rexes, a 60-foot-long herbivore called Omeisaurus, and the Spinosaurus, which was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs to ever exist. The Omeisaurus, while lesser known, will delight dinosaur fanatics as it towers over the safari trail.

How Healthy, Well-Balanced Meals Boost Brain Development in Children
As parents, we all want our children to succeed in school and excel in academics, but did you know what they eat throughout the day can impact their performance? In fact, students who eat meals that are aligned with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion) are better learners, receive higher test scores, earn higher academic grades, and have reduced instances of being absent from school, says Kim Doyle, senior director of nutrition and compliance at Revolution Foods, citing a 2018 study from the University of California, Berkeley.
