“One of the many things I love about living in Scarsdale village is being able to walk to all of my favorites activities. It was always a pet peeve of mine to not have a hot yoga studio in walking distance as it is one of my favorite activities. Now, with the opening of Scarsdale Yoga Studios, it will be right around the corner.”
– Erinn Cayehal

“As an event planner, I am used to noticing the smallest details. My long-term pet peeve is fingerprints. Whether on stainless, glass or plastic, I’ve been known to wipe out the smudges anywhere. My friends with big families tell me to just wait until I have a house full of children but my clients appreciate someone looking at the finer points. It makes me feel better and less ‘peeved’.”
– Michele Sinacore
owner, Michele Sinacore Events L.L.C., Briarcliff Manor resident

– Irene Sinyavin
co-founder, Scarsdale Yoga Studios, Scarsdale resident
“I have two pet peeves. The first is when folks don’t get to the point. You have limited time and the person whether on the phone or in person just keeps going with no end in sight. The second is when they don’t return emails or phone calls in a timely manner and you are left waiting for a reply.”
