Everybody's got the weekend covered, but the real gems in New Rochelle happen Monday through Thursday. This week's slate is packed with free library programs, a hometown food grand opening, and a couple of calming wellness sessions. Here's what's on around New Rochelle this week so you don't miss a thing.
The Basics of Medicare Coverage — 10:00 AM at the New Rochelle Public Library. Free. A bilingual Medicare advisor answers your questions one-on-one, which is a lifesaver if the paperwork makes your head spin.
One-on-One Assistance — 10:00 AM (also at 2:00 PM) in the Library's 2nd Floor Help & Learning Center. Free. A staff member sits down with you for forms, applications, or tech help — no appointment stress.
Rocco's Italian Sausages & Cheese Steaks Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting — 3:00 PM at Rocco's. Free. The New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce cuts the ribbon on a new local spot, and there's no better excuse to try a fresh cheese steak.
3D Pen Night — 3:00 PM at the New Rochelle Public Library. Free. Tweens and teens in grades 6–12 can create just about anything with the library's 3D pens.
Paws & Relax with a Therapy Dog — 3:45 PM at the Library's Teen Room. Free. A registered therapy dog and a few quiet minutes are exactly what a stressed-out student needs.
Job Search Coach — 5:00 PM at the New Rochelle Public Library. Free. An experienced coach helps you figure out where to start (or why the applications aren't landing).
Destination College Series: Workshop 12 – The Transition Ahead — 7:00 PM, virtual, hosted by Townhouse KD. Free. Perfect for families prepping a soon-to-be college student for independence, decisions, and deposits.
