MAMMA FRANCESCA ON THE SOUND  Check out the views on the rear enclosed deck and view random fireworks. When Nick DiCostanzo was growing up on the Island of Ischia on the Coast of Naples in Italy, his earliest memories where of the simple seaside meals he would enjoy with his family, farm-to-table and of course sea-to-table. As proprietor of Mamma Francesca in New Rochelle for nearly 40 years, located on the banks of Long Island Sound with 6-story views of the ‘Queen City’s’ seafaring boat clubs, this culinary philosophy still holds true. Italian/American specialties include freshly made Manicotti, Ravioli, Calamari Fritti, Ischia Salad, Chicken Parmigiana, Misto Frutti di Mare. On occasion, Rabbit ...

BRONX - Who knew listening to music can save a life? Bronxites were taught CPR by using music to count compressions during an event to teach residents how they can save the life of a loved one. 


Hands-Only CPR training, presented by the American Heart Association, and Elevance Health Foundation/Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield HP, brought lifesaving training tools to Bronx residents on Tuesday. In these trainings, attendees learned the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR during interactive sessions set to music. 


The trainers played songs that are 100 to 120 beats per minutes – the rate you should push on the chest during CPR – and teach participants how to perform this crucial skill.




 

The training also included learning how to operate an automated external defibrillator or AED, which should be used when performing CPR when available. 


The training was free and open to the public. It took place at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s Community Service Center, 968 Southern Boulevard in Hunts Point. The training is also taking place in Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and in Nassau County.

 

Join the Nation of Lifesavers™ and learn this lifesaving skill. The goal of the American Heart Association's Nation of Lifesavers initiative is to turn bystanders into lifesavers, so that in the time of cardiac emergency anyone, anywhere is prepared and empowered to become a vital link in the chain of survival and provide CPR.
