This past Saturday, my girlfriend Amanda and I spent the day at the Nanuet Mall. When it comes to Rockland County malls, I am a Capulet and Amanda is a Montague. 
She loves the Palisades Center, or the "NEW MAll" as she still refers to it ten year later...I prefer all the "elbow room" at the Nanuet Mall. And we quarrel on this often.
On Saturday, I convinced her to come to the Nanuet Mall since Boscov's will soon close. I need a new winter coat and with the store closing I might get a steal. I've been checking Boscov's each weekend recently to see how much prices will drop. Currently, they've reduced coats by 50%.
I'm holding out for further price reductions. Sound familiar all you potential homebuyers???
I purchased t-shirts for my 2-year-old niece at the Children's Place. For only $3 each. If you need summer clothing for toddlers, check it out. But go to the mall instead of purchasing online. HELP THE MALL!
I haven't been to the mall in a while, but I've followed the ch12 news and Rockland Journal News about how poorly business has been. Nonetheless, It surprised me to see about 80 percent vacancies in the wing connecting to Boscovs. The rest of the mall still has open stores but customers were scarce.
We stumbled upon Banchetto Feast, an Italian restaurant on the first floor. For a mall without any customers, it was jammed packed. This place might single handedly keep the mall afloat. They've received good reviews so we brought our post shopping appetites.
Being Italian, I overly criticize all Italian cuisine. But the food was fantastic, they have more choicesthan most Italian restaurants and plenty of wine options. We spilt a cold antipasto platter, which I am still picking on as I type. I had Chicken pizzaiola and Amanda had some sort of girly salad :)
I wish I had my camera to take pictures for everyone but something tells me I'll be back soon.

A while back, i had an idea to blog about local news that can create an awareness for proper homeowners insurance in Rockland County. I never expected three significant fires to write about so far in 2008. First Bardonia, then New City and yesterday Spring Valley.
An electrical fire in a Spring Valley home left residents scrambling for alternative living arrangements while the home is inhabitable. Ask your insurance broker how much Additional Living Expenses your homeowners insurance covers. "ALE" helps offset the cost of hotels and dinning out while your house is being repaired.

I recently wrote about a fire that spread through a Bardonia housing complex. Less than 1 month later, another fire made the news here in Rockland County. Early this morning, a fire damaged a New City home. It appears t the cause may be from lighting a cigarette. The situation was quickly handled by the New City Fire Department.
Here are 3 coverages that will come into a claim like this.
Dwelling Coverage-
Covers any damage to the structure of the home.
Personal Property
Covers furniture, appliances, and clothing.
Additional Living Expense
This coverage will offset the cost of staying at a hotel room and going out to eat while your home is uninhabitable.
If you are concerned that your Rockland County Homeowners Insurance policy does not have adequate coverage, or you're currently paying too much, feel free to request a free homeowners insurance quote from a New City Insurance Agent.
In my opinion, one of the nicest parts of Rockland County to rent would be Avalon Gardens in Nanuet. My sister used to live there and i would always go visit the complex. They have great amenities including a pool, full gym and my favorite, racquetball courts.
One of Avalon's requirements is that all rentals carry atleast 100,000 in personal liability insurance. This protects you as well as the Complex if someone falls and gets injured in or around your apartment. If you are moving to Avalon I would be happy to set up your renters insurance.

First Time Home Buying Counselor. Work with an agent that's a Lifelong Clarkstown Resident. Continuing relationship with buyers by servicing their ongoing Homeowners Insurance needs.
Purchasing your first home can be overwhelming. Work with an agent who breaks down the complexity for you. I've lived in Nanuet my entire life and I'm familiar with Rockland's unique Neighborhoods. Some agents treat buyers as a one time transaction and it shows with their insincerity. As a Licensed Insurance Agent, I look forward to servicing my home buyers ongoing insurance needs.
When I'm not showing houses or helping clients with insurance claims, I'm most likely watching Baseball. I watch portions of almost every New York Met game each season. Otherwise you might find me at Fitness II or walking my dog at Ramapo's Children's Park (Dexter Park)
If not there, i must be somewhere discipling at my nephews or spoiling my niece. OR making my wonderful girlfriend Amanda listen to my daily stories about the OH SO riveting world of Insurance and Real Estate :)
