"Given Mrs. Clinton’s statements that she will step down next year whether or not President Obama is re-elected, there is inevitable speculation about where the Clintons will spend their time in their next phase. But despite grueling travel schedules and being around less often than in the past, they have become remarkably involved with Chappaqua and its residents in a way that almost no one could have anticipated.
For most of the past decade, since Mrs. Clinton has been working in Washington, where she and her husband have a house in the Embassy Row area, the former president has been the more conspicuous of the two here.
He orders a decaf venti at Starbucks (and always tips) and stops in at Lange’s Little Store and Delicatessen and chats with everyone there. When Mrs. Clinton is around, they go to movies at the Jacob Burns Film Center in neighboring Pleasantville and are reliable diners at local restaurants like Le Jardin du Roi, Crabtree’s Kittle House and the Chappaqua Restaurant and Cafe, where they were mortified a month ago when a customer picked up their check.
Their chocolate Labrador retriever, Seamus, and toy poodle, Tally, are both groomed at Wags and Whiskers. The Clintons are both groomed at Santa’s Salon and Spa.
Mr. Clinton, newly vegan after heart problems that included a quadruple bypass operation in 2004, is a regular walker around town and a fan of the vindaloo and aloo channa rolls (spiced potatoes and chick peas) at the Little Kabab Station in Mount Kisco.
