By Sally ike a femme fatale in a “dime novel” Jersey City has had its share of bumpy roads, raw deals and men that done her wrong. But the past is the past and take a look at her now, bustling with new cons truction and a waterfro nt with a skyline of skyscr apers that have given th e old girl a much-needed facelift and a shot at th e brass ring.

At the 4th annual Book Fair hosted by Jersey City’s Free Public Libr ary on Sat, Sept. 10th in Jersey City’s beautif ul Van Vorst Park, twenty local and no-so-lo cal writers will exhibit their newly published bo oks – all with some connection to Jersey Ci ty. Many of these writers have taken their experiences and/or fascination with Jersey City’s past and placed them on the pages of th eir new books, not just as a backdrop to the ac tion, but as one of the characters that grabs yo ur attention like a cold blooded blonde with a pearl-handled Derringe r.

The event is free and ru n by Jersey City’s hard-working library sta ff hip to fostering new and established writers.

When you stroll over to the park that day, you’ll meet Eunie Guyre, author of “Happy Victory: Celebrating a Jersey City Childhood,” (publisher: Xlibris, 2011) the story of a little girl who revisits the Polish household she shared with her father, grandmother and aunt in Jersey City when her mother was hospitalized in a sanitarium.

And although it seems like a sad story, Guyre emphasizes that hers was a happy childhood nurtured by a loving Jersey City family. con’t pg. 2

“The book is a tribute to my father,” Guyre says from her New Hampshire home. “I was 14 months-old when my mother went into a sanitarium for tuberculosis and she died there when I was 7. The book is a collection of short stories from birth to eighth grade.

We lived on 3rd Street in Jersey City, that was our first house, and then we moved to Greenville. I attended Sacred Heart and the book has a lot of funny Catholic and Polish stories. My Polish grandmother would read the obits. If the dead person had a Polish name, off we went to the funeral parlor.”

Fascinated by Heavyweight Champion Jack Demsey, a colorful boxing figure and World Heavyweight Champ from 1919-1926, writer Jim Waltzer’s book “The Battle of the Century: Dempsey, Carpentier, and the Birth of the Modern Promotion” (Praeger

..

By Sally Deering

Publishing) tells the story of the infamous bout that took place in Jersey City on Montgomery and Cornelison Streets and promoter Tex Rickard, described as one of the best fight promoters of the 20th century. Rickard erected a special stadium for the heavyweight champ and his opponent, Georges Carpentier, and 90,000 spectators came to Jersey City to see them fight.

“The focus of the book is how the promotion came to be in the first place,” Waltzer says. “It was promotion that went beyond sports and entertainment. This was the one that set the standard for those that followed in the 20th century. This was the first event in a big way to bring together celebrities, prominent people from all different fields – bankers, Hollywood stars, roughnecks, you name it. They were at ringside. This took the whole promotional arts to

another level for a single event.”

Waltzer, a Philadelphia resident, has written more than 600+ features, mostly for regional magazines. In 2001, Rutgers University Press published his nonfiction book “Tales of South Jersey,” and in 2007, Five Star Mysteries published his first novel, “Sound of Mind.” He’s now working on a new book, a crime novel based in Atlantic City.

Maureen K. Wlodarczyk, who lived in Jersey City until she was five and whose family has been a part of Jersey City’s fabric since the 1840s will be at the fair promoting her second book, “Young & Wicked: The Death of a Wayward Girl (Publisher: Ultra Media Publications, 2011) The story is about the doomed relationship between two petty criminals, William Flannelly and Polly Sexton.

They were criminals in love, who lived in the fast lane of

Wlodarczyk was researching her Irish ancestors when she came upon her distant relative,

“A few months later, down in the Bowery, they had a falling out and she wound up dead by his hands,” Wlodarczyk says. “He goes to trial on the Lower East Side for murder. He’s sitting in the Tombs and crosses paths with people who are famous and infamous of the 1890s, the Tammany Hall people like William Devery who was to become New York City’s Chief of Police. I wondered how a little punk from Jersey City jailed in the Tombs could cross paths with Devery and top Tammany Hall commissioners.”

Also at the Book Fair, photographer and writer Alina Oswald of Jersey City will present her three books: “Vampire Fantasies” a collection of vampire-inspired photographs; Journeys Through Darkness (a biography of a blind photographer), and “Infinite Lights: A Decade of 9/11 Tribute Lights,” which is a collection of 9/11-related photography.

“Although I wasn’t in New York on 9/11, I made it a point when I moved here in 2003 to photograph all the ceremonies, the lights in the night,” Oswald says. “I made it a point to take pictures.”

The Book Fair will also feature Thomas Belton and his book, “Protecting New Jersey’s Environment: From Cancer Alley to the New Garden State,” Cherese Bracey and her mystery “The Case of the Withering Books,” Elijah M. Brown and his book, “Missing Pages, Out of My Life,” “Taco” by John E.

“EYE OF THE BEHOLDER” August 22 to September 30

A. Kinney -Owl

320 Washington Street, Hoboken Weekdays, 12 to 8pm; Saturdays, 10 am to 7pm, and Sundays, 12 to 5pm.

Right Angle Framing at 320 Washington Street, Hoboken, and

hob’art cooperative gallery are presenting “The Eye of the Beholder,” an exhibition of artworks created by hob’art members from August 22 to September 30. The show will be open to the public on weekdays, 12 to 8pm; Saturdays, 10 am to 7pm, and Sundays, 12 to 5pm.

The curator, Erik Attia, challenged the artists to create works that will involve the eye of the beholder physically, spiritually, philosophically, or conceptually. The styles alternate from abstraction, R. Rose -Ganymeade to reality, to mythology, to figurative; but all engage the eye and the mind in a lively discourse and may be perceived through the viewers’ experience, memory, and imagination.

Painters Matthew Connors, Willie Baez, Donna Marshall, Leslie Rubman, Ray Guzman, and Sissi Siska explored the act of perceiving on paper, wood, metal or silk using encaustic, enamel, and dyes, as well as traditional oils and acrylics. Many of the photographs by Laurel Brooks, Janet Kolstein, Ann Kinney, Don Sichler, Starr Tucker-Ortega, and Roslyn Rose were conceived either digitally, by sunlight, or through printing mediums. Liz Cohen, Ibou Ndoye, Erik Attia, and Heather Corey attract the eye using multi-mediums including handmade paper, feathers, H.Corey Petal Composition and cloth.

Many of the fair’s featured writers praise the Jersey City Library, especially the New Jersey Room and the help they received during their research. “They allowed me to use images from their collection,” Wlodarczyk says. “They’re wonderful people and a valuable resource.”

The annual book fair is co-sponsored by the City of

Jersey City’s Cultural Affairs Division, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy and the Municipal Council.

Chairwoman of the Book Fair is Assistant Library Director Sonia Araujo.

“We are so happy it’s the fourth annual,” Araujo says.

“When we see all the people who come to the book festivals, we know we’re on the right path.”

This year’s repertoire will include music of Europe — particularly medieval Western Europe, Greece and 19th and 20th century Hungary and Slovakia. Additional repertoire will be drawn from Brazil, Iraq and Syria. Cantigas will premiere a new piece composed for the choir by Argentine composer Leonardo San Juan.

Cantigas also brings its music out to the community, performing at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton, N.J. and the Bayonne Cancer Survivors Group Meetings.

The group rehearses on Thursday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Mustard Seed School at 422 Willow Avenue in Hoboken. The ambiance of the rehearsal is a combination of rigor and relaxation.

Auditions will be held by appointment. Sight reading skills are desirable, but not required. Ability to sing in tune and blend in classical style is essential. To schedule an audition, please contact Litman at joanlitman@gmail.com.

RECOGNIZING OUR CANINE HEROS

River View Observer Staff On Sun, Sept 11th, “Finding One Another: the 10th Anniversary Tribute to the Canine Search & Rescue Community of 9/11” will honor canine working dog teams on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. “Finding One Another” has identified more than 950 working dog teams (civilian, government, law enforcement and military) who served in response to 9/11.

These teams were involved with search and rescue, recovery and security efforts at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, Shanksville, and the Fresh Kills Landfill recovery site.

“Finding One Another” has organized a Recognition Ceremony at Liberty State Park in Jersey City starting at 12:45 p.m. More than 1,000 canine working dog teams who served at the 9/11 sites have been invited to the event and current working dog teams will line the processional route honoring the 9/11 teams.

The Recognition Ceremony will begin with an address

by U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey. Following Senator Lautenberg’s address, attendees will pause at 1:00 p.m. for a Moment of Remembrance, when firehouses, churches, and other institutions across the country will sound sirens and ring bells in honor of those lost on 9/11.

“These sirens and bells are a signal for each person to stop and remember the people we have lost and demonstrate the perseverance the American people have shown since that fateful day,” Lautenberg wrote in a statement.

At the ceremony, the first Sirius Courage Award will be presented posthumously to Army Sgt. Zainah Caye Creamer, the first woman military working dog handler killed in combat in the history of the United States. She died in Afghanistan on January 12, 2011. The award is named after the only dog to be killed at Ground Zero and will be presented by his handler, Lt. Lim of the Port Authority Police.

Civilian, law enforcement and military working dog teams of 9/11 will be honored at the Recognition Ceremony. At the end of the Recognition Ceremony, members of AKC Parent Clubs, working dog clubs and other organizations will be invited to sign a “Convention on Cooperation among American Working Dog Organizations,” with the formalities of a treaty signing ceremony. Representatives from the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense will be in attendance to receive the document. This ceremony will be a re-signing of the same document that was originally signed in 2008 at the Doberman Pinscher Centennial in Topeka, Kansas.

CANINE HEROS Cont’d from page 10

The momentum generated by the Recognition Ceremony and the historic signing of the “Convention on Cooperation” will be used to plan a White House Conference on Working Dogs in America. Through the commitment of American dog breeders to DHS and others, the political capital of these efforts may be parlayed into alliances that will help advance the cause of providing American Dogs for American Security to further the security of the United States.

“Finding One Another: The 10th Anniversary Tribute to the Canine Search & Rescue Community of 9/11”

is spearheaded by the Tails of Hope Foundation.

This New York based non-profit is dedicated to advancing the fields of veterinary and human medicine through a comparative medicine approach that focuses on eradicating cancer and other lifethreatening diseases affecting companion animals and people.

The project’s Advisory Committee includes veterinary and human medical experts, SAR volunteers, acclaimed artists, educators, business, trauma and non-profit professionals, many of whom served at the 9/11 sites, all of whom are dedicated to honoring the canine/human partnership.

From Across the River

Images and Reflections of September 11th from the Jersey Side

By Sally Deering On the morning of the 9/11 attack, Jersey City photographer Sandra Swieder grabbed her camera and notebook and headed to the waterfront where she captured the heroic rescue and recovery efforts of firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses, EMTs and other volunteers. In the days and months that followed, Swieder continued to photograph and collect stories from survivors, witnesses and emergency responders this side of the Hudson.

On Sept. 1 and running through Sept. 15, Art House Productions, a non-profit organization committed to the development and presentation of performing and visual arts in Jersey City presents “From Across the River,” a photography exhibition by Swieder that captures the events of September 11th from the New Jersey perspective.

Page 12-River View Observer-

“With the tenth anniversary coming up, we thought it was a very important story to tell,” Arthouse Productions’ Executive Director Christine Goodman says.

“Some people say ‘who wants to relive these images? But Sandra’s photographs have hope, too. What Sandra’s done is document the people and their stories and the real strength of the everyday individuals who rose up that day.”

On the morning of September 11, 2001, after the attacks on the World Trade Center, Hudson Country’s waterfront became the hub for emergency personnel, volunteers and over 200,000 survivors who were ferried from lower Manhattan to the Jersey waterfront. When they arrived on the Jersey side – in Hoboken and Jersey City – thousands were decontaminated and triaged, some were hospitalized and given shelter.

“From Across the River” photography exhibit at Art House Productions features images of Sept. 11tth by photographer Sandra Swieder of Jersey City.

That waterfront triage in Jersey City became a fiveblock radius of emergency personnel, volunteers and family members and the staging area at Exchange Place turned into a lifeline to “Ground Zero.” Swieder, with her camera and notebook, documented the events. She established relationships with key emergency personnel, collected their stories and created a historical record of images and personal accounts and put it all together in “From Across the River.”

The exhibit consists of photography and interviews of First Responders, with approximately thirty images ranging from 11x14 to 6 ft.

Images have been produced on a number of different mediums such as Plexiglas, canvas and photographic paper. The exhibition will also include a memorial sculpture of reclaimed steel from Ground Zero by artist Matt Johnson.

Cont’d on page 13

FROM ACROSS THE RIVER Cont’d from pg. 12 It is extremely important to preserve the history of events that transpired on the Jersey side,” Swieder says. “This project illustrates what took place along the Hudson River and how New Jersey responded to the immediate needs of lower Manhattan that Tuesday morning and in the days, weeks and months following.”

Goodman says “From Across the River,” is a powerful exhibition but absolutely essential to our culture and history.

“It’s preserving the

history of what happened on the Hudson River that day and how our New Jersey community came together with New York,” Goodman says, “and how our emergency responders, our citizens, police officers, firefighters and everyday people rose up in this time of need. The work is powerful. It’s preserving our history and honoring these people. Sandra’s work is about healing and community.”

Funding for “From Across the River” is by Hudson County Executive

three year-old.

How do I tell the future generations what happened that day? What images do they have of the firemen, the twisted metal and the dustcovered buildings? This is a different perspective. I tried to capture the beauty and the unity of the people that day. Maybe this can bring some closure, some healing.

People can look at the worst day of American history in a different light.”

Sept 1-15 From Across the River

The exhibit will be up for two weeks at Arthouse Productions and then moved to the Brennan Courthouse where it will be installed for the public to view in the Theodore Conrad Rotunda from Sept. 22 through Oct.14. ”It’s not only about us, it’s much bigger,” Swieder says. “My intentions are for it to travel. I think people really need to understand what happened that day.

My energies are positive.

Dim A Little, Save A Lot

(NAPSI)—Rising energy costs and recent legislation called the Energy Independence and Security Act are encouraging many homeowners to reduce energy consumption. This means new, energy-efficient light sources are more popular than ever. It also makes dimming the lights more than a way to set a nice mood. It’s a way to save electricity.

Dimming an incandescent or halogen light just 25 percent can save you up to 20 percent in energy—and makes your lightbulbs last up to 20 times longer.

Though compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and screw-in light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs use less energy than typical incandescent and halogen bulbs do, historically, they’ve not been compatible with light dimmers. Lights have been known to drop out, not turn on and/or turn off unexpectedly.

To help, there’s the new C·L dimmers from Lutron.

They work not only with incandescent and halogen bulbs, but also with dimmable CFLs and LEDs. www.lutron.com/cflled.

STARGAZINE

ARIES (March 21 - April 19) 3rd house issues of short journeys, communications, brothers and sisters all are the focus of the month. Could it be an older sibling is somewhat jealous of your good luck? No need to worry, a kind family member will find a way to help just when you need them. Support of a loved one arrives and wipes away all doubt. Good luck returns. Enjoy.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Recent legal issues have made you lose sight that you are truly under the protection of Jupiter.

Things could have been much worse than you have experienced. So thank the stars, you are safe, remain free, and are progressing. You cannot be everything to everyone; you must just be true to yourself. Looking back to this time fills you with wonder on how you remained unscathed.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) After the August retrograde that brought worldwide upsets and even an earthquake hitting Washington DC you can be proud of your ability to survive 6th house issues.

Work and service matters allow you to excel and may make you feel deserving of a promotion. Feeling good is the first step towards being good. Benefits anticipated now arrive at the end of the year.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22) Mars in Cancer, what an unlikely couple. The emotion of Cancer driven by the Moon along with the sometimes aggressive nature of Mars allows you to be more than forceful with friends. You ask for and receive all that you want.

This star position ensures face to face confrontations resulting in success for the Crab. Enjoy this fleeting power.

Month of September 2011

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22) Mercury in Leo may find you voicing your opinions loudly in public. Quiet and reserved in social setting you now push your personal point of view on all those who might listen. Subjects from global warming to the perfect color of paint for a bedroom are spiraling in all conversations. Harsh words said now can never be taken back. The astral advice suggests silence is the best rule for September.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept.22) Your luck has returned and it could have not come back sooner. Saturn in the past held your feet to the fire as you learned lessons beyond compare. Now peace and security are yours. Curl up, read a book, and count your blessings. The good times have returned.

LIBRA (Sept. 22 - Oct. 22) More activity than in previous months finds you somewhat overwhelmed.

Running from project to project both day and night is the theme. Prepare for the changes of your solar return and know that life as you currently know it is about to change. All good and no worries but please realize that you are on the trip of a lifetime.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) The Moon in the 10th house governing your status and honor finds you in a mode to change your life. Emotions run high as someone accuses you of a misstep. They are wrong but they learn not to temp a Scorpio if they don’t want a sharp stinging. Happiness returns as an apology is well received. You are the strong and psychic one and now know your power.

by J. Banta Lewis

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Running on empty and working harder than usual combined with a heavy 12th house finds you worried and somewhat off your game. Get away for a well needed vacation for a day or a week. You return revitalized and are back. Good will and feelings of kindness towards friends are yours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) Pluto breaks down the fiber of your life before it rebuilds a more stable base. The symbol of Pluto energy is the phoenix.

Destruction and renewal are a part of life as we see in the seasons. Now you can shed the fears of the past. Saturn your ruler has at times prevented you from taking a chance but the stars encourage confidence and success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb 18) Money and professional rewards are highlighted in the month of September.

A long awaited promotion may be yours.

Remember you can do anything that you want and do it well. The Universe now requires an answer, what do you want?

Ask and you will receive. Complete all projects and wait for the recognition that you deserve.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20) Look at the big picture and don’t micro manage. You have succeeded at everything you’ve attempted. So pat yourself on the back and go forward with confidence.

Don’t allow minor problems at work to take you off stride. Good times and good friends are on the way. © STARGAZINE 2011

The Readers’ Circle book group resumes on Thursday, September 15 at 7:00pm to discuss the classic novel TRUE GRIT by Charles Portis.

The Readers’ Circle meets the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7:00 in All Saints, 701 Washington Street, in Hoboken, to discuss classic and contemporary novels.

All book lovers are welcome. Bring a friend. Free coffee and cake is served.

TRUE GRIT tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just fourteen years of age when a coward going by the name of Tom Chaney shoots her father down in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 in cash money. Mattie leaves home to avenge her father’s murder. With one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available U.S. Marshall and Texas Ranger LaBouef by her side, Mattie pursues the homicide into Indian Territory. TRUE GRIT is eccentric, cool, honest, and unflinching, like Mattie Ross herself. The novel inspired two hit film adaptations and is also very, very funny.

This Fall the Readers’ Circle offers three great selections to read and discuss:

September 15-TRUE GRIT -Charles Portis October 13A CLOCKWORK ORANGE -Anthony Burgess November 17-WISE BLOOD -Flannery O’ Connor

restaurant VIEWS Still Hip after all these Years The Beat goes on at Maxwell’s, Hoboken’s Landmark Rock ‘n Roll Club and Restaurant

By Sally Deering

C

utting edge rock

‘n roll and comfort food that won’t bust your wallet are just two great reasons why Maxwell’s in Hoboken still grooves as a club and restaurant. Ever since the 1980s, Maxwell’s has been the Hoboken venue for upand-coming bands and some famous ones, too, like Bruce Springsteen who filmed his “Glory Days” video at Maxwell’s, directed by filmmaker John Sayles who lived down the block.

The bar changed hands in the early 1990’s from original owner Steve Fallon, to an interim owner and in 1998 Dave Post, Todd Abramson and Steve Shelley (of the band

Sonic Youth) took over.

On a recent Wednesday afternoon visit, it was evident the partners have kept Maxwell’s cool reputation in tact -- the ambience is still warm and friendly and the menu, a hearty selection of comfort foods that are tasty, priced low and piled high on the plate.

“Todd handles all of the

Page 20- River View Observer

music, the booking of the bands, and I’m the general manager,” Post says. “We also have Chef Paco. We serve good drinking food and it suits the patrons. The richer folks might prefer spending more, but here, the fans and the kids come to get a bargain.”

From 20-somethings to Baby Boomers, Maxwell’s clientele is “ageless” Cont’d on page 23

restaurant VIEWS Maxwell’s Cont’d from page 22 and so is the menu. Appetizers include Fried Brie Cheese with sliced apples and mango sauce; Sautéed Artichoke Hearts with brown lemon butter and chardonnay sauce; Shrimp Corona, beer-battered Tiger shrimp with chili-lime dip; Twin Crabcakes with mango chutney and tartar sauce; Maxwell’s Very Thin Crust Pizza with homemade sauce and fresh mozzarella; Polish Potato Pierogies with sautéed onion and sour cream; and Hummus and Grilled Pita with black olives, carrots and celery ($5.95-$9.95). A big fan of Hummus, I was delighted by its light texture and spicy flavors. It was served with a heaping portion of warm pita, sliced cucumbers, celery and carrots for dipping.

Soups and Chili dishes are on the menu like Classic French Onion Soup ($4.95); Vegetarian Chili with red beans and diced veggies in a spicy tomato roux (cup $3.95, bowl $4.95; cheddar cheese add $1.00); and Blazin’ Beef Chili, a crock of spicy beef chili and red pinto beans with cheddar cheese ($4.95).

Big Plate Entrees include Coconut Chicken in a rum sauce with yellow rice and fried plantains ($14.95); Blackened or Grilled Tuna Steak with sweet potato fries and sliced avocado ($15.95); Baked Macaroni & Cheese with tossed greens ($10.95); Maxwell’s Mighty Fine Meat Loaf with mash & gravy and sautéed spinach ($13.95); Guinness Battered Fish & Chips with malt vinegar and tartar sauce ($12.95); Grilled NY Strip Steak with garlic mash or fries & sautéed spinach ($19.95); and Chicken Pot Pie, white meat chicken and veggies in cream gravy, baked under a pastry crust with mashed potatoes on the side ($12.95, Petite Pot Pie ala carte $7.95). I tried the Petite Pot Pie and it was absolutely delicious. You can’t find too many restaurants offering a home-made pot pie and this one had tasty fresh peas, carrots and celery in a cream sauce with huge pieces of chicken.

The crust on the pie was light and flaky and baked to perfection.

Burgers and sandwiches are Maxwell’s Half Pound Char-Grilled Burger with fries ($7.95, choice of cheeses and toppings, $1.00 each); Grilled Chicken sandwich with herb mayo and fries ($7.95); Char-Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna Steak sandwich, sundried tomato temenade, tartar sauce and fries ($9.95); Maryland-Style Crab Cake sandwich with tartar sauce, Cole slaw and fries ($9.95); Grilled Portobello sandwich with basil pesto, fresh mozzarella and onion rings ($9.95); California Veggie Burger with sundried tomato and Calamata olive spread and fries ($6.95); Hoboken’s Best Quesadilla, grilled tortillas with green tomatillo sauce, jalapenos, homemade salsa and sour cream ($6.95); and the Extended Play Burrito filled with cheese, rice, beans, salsa, lettuce and tomato ($8.95; chicken $10.95).

There are daily specials, too, like the Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Tortilla bowl with black bean hummus and grilled pita; Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla; BBQ Blue Burger, char-grilled with hickory-smoked barbeque sauce, blue cheese, bacon and cayenne fries; Tiger Shrimp Scampi over garlic toast; the “Naughty” Veggie Burger with bacon, fresh mozzarella, basil pesto and onion rings; Southern Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy and Cole slaw: Louisiana Pecan Chicken with mustard cream gravy, whipped sweet potatoes and sautéed spinach; and Blackened Pan-Fried Catfish with sweet potato fries and mixed greens ($7.95-$14.95)..

There’s a huge selection of beers, wines and cocktails and coffee and desserts, too and sipping a mug of java at the end of this tasty meal was a relaxing finale to a delish meal.

Maxwell’s is still a great hip place for a hearty dining experience and live music. There’s something for everyone at Maxwell’s. And if it’s been a while since you’ve stopped in, plan a visit. It’ll feel like you’re hanging with an old friend.
