Matters of the Heart There’s something about winter that always warms my heart. A crackling fireplace and a homemade pot of soup create physical heat for the body, but the tales of love and devotion that are so often recalled in February are good for the soul.

Call me a hopeless romantic, but putting together BERGEN’s annual Romance Issue is one of my favorite parts of the job.

We had such a great response last year, when Bergenites shared their real-life fairy tales with us, that I was curious to see if the same would happen in 2019. When BERGEN made the call for personal love stories from you, our readers, we received hundreds of replies, from which we chose a dozen unique accounts that truly tugged at our heartstrings. Turn to “When Cupid’s Arrow Struck” beginning on page 50 to read them.

Also in this issue, we asked one of the county’s best chefs, Steve Christianson of St. Eve’s in Ho-Ho-Kus, to help us spread the love.

He opened up the pages of his personal cookbook to curate a threecourse dinner for two, the perfect at-home date night for you and your honey. See what Chef Christianson put together in “A Supper for Sweethearts” on page 44. Ladies, if your plans on Feb. 14 will take you on the town, be sure to check out the red-hot looks in our fashion spread, “Lady in Red.” The best part? All of the pieces featured on these pages, beginning on page 58, are available right here in Bergen County. For those who want to take date night to a different level, turn to “Romantic Rendezvous” on page 68 to read about five destinations that will surely make your sweetheart swoon.

While it’s easy to fall in love this month, February also marks the start of the new year on the Chinese calendar. To help celebrate, we highlight three recipes, each a spin on typical Chinese dishes. See what you need to cook them up in “Far East Feast” on page 132.

And speaking of Asian cuisine, we headed to Yadas Noodle House in Bergenfield to sample a taste of delicious Thai food. Read this month’s restaurant review on page 146.

Please cuddle up with your special someone and enjoy these and all of the articles in February’s issue. They’re pieces we loved to put together and stories we hope you’ll love to read over and over.

DIY CHOCOLATE

Your sweetheart deserves more than drug-store chocolates or an “edible arrangement” for the umpteenth year. Surprise your honey by making your own chocolate at one of these establishments for your Valentine—or with your Valentine for a special date night.

Matisse Chocolatier This Englewood favorite offers all types of chocolate making, such as dipping and decorating pretzels and cookies, making chocolate molds out of the shape of your choice or your first initial or decorating a chocolate pizza. They even have Mommy and Me and Daddy and Me classes if your little one is your Valentine this year.

• Matisse Chocolatier, 260 Grand Ave., Englewood, 201.568.2288, getfreshchocolate.com Making Chocolate The brick-and-mortar store in Dumont closed in 2016, but owner Ellen Quigley still sells her specialty chocolates online, plus offers chocolate-making classes and events in the area.

• Making Chocolate, 201.385.0483, facebook.com/makechoc Chocolate Etc. Only in summer do husband-wife owners Jay and Marcia Vidockler take walk-ins wishing to make their own chocolates. But they host chocolate-making birthday parties for children 5 and up yearround; kids (or adults!) can make their own molded chocolates, chocolate pizza or chocolate sushi. Yum. • Chocolate Etc., 382 Main St., Wyckoff, 201.891.3711, chocolateetc.com

DID YOU KNOW? Yoo-hoo, the popular chocolate drink found in many children’s lunchboxes, was founded by Carlstadt resident Natale Olivieri in the 1920s. It’s believed Olivieri created it because he wanted a beverage that wouldn’t spoil in the summer heat.

CULINARY CORNER WINNING BLEND It’s bold to name your establishment G.O.A.T. Coffeehouse, using the acronym for “greatest of all time.” That’s one reason we’re so intrigued by Lyndhurst’s newest coffee joint. Customers will find Counter Culture brand coffee, fresh pastries from Patisserie Vanessa and breakfast delicacies made in-house in this cozy, rustic store. But if you go solely to show off the “greatest” coffee, order an Instagram-worthy cappuccino, macchiato or cortado from the “For Here” menu, each topped with foamy latte art.

• G.O.A.T. Coffeehouse, 288 Ridge Rd., Lyndhurst, 201.528.9959, goatcoffeehousenj.com

BON APPÉTIT Meanwhile, a French American bistro called Technique has opened in Westwood. The menu is a mix of traditional French food and American dishes inspired by French cooking techniques (hence the establishment’s name). And don’t be deterred by its menu of only seven starters and seven entrees (plus desserts); there are delicious options for every palate, including steak tartare, escargot and gnocchi, coq au vin and the chef’s signature pork and clam cioppino. It’s open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday nights.

GATHER ’ROUND

Ordinary pop-up shops are so 2018. Garden State Plaza has put a twist on the phenom with The Gathering Shops, a “concept store” catering to millennials. The space features 15–20 emerging designers selling boutique-style clothing, jewelry, home goods, beauty products and more. The best part? The retailers switch out every 2-3 months, so shoppers will always find something new. The Gathering Shops is open now, located next to Justice on the mall’s lower level.

• Technique Restaurant, 425 Broadway, Westwood, 201.722.1222

LET’S MEAT UP One thing Bergen County certainly doesn’t lack is Korean BBQ joints. Brand-new all-you-can-eat Korean restaurant The Meat Bros. in Fort Lee lets customers cook their meat themselves right at the table, and there’s a lot of meat to choose from. The Course A menu has 20+ cuts of beef, pork, chicken, sausage, squid and octopus—or upgrade to Course B for an additional 8–10 options.

Yeah, you’ll definitely want to come here hungry.

• The Meat Bros., 176 Main St., Fort Lee, 201.944.1326

SLIDE RIGHT IN Not enough meat for you carnivores? Then head on over to Burgerim in Englewood, a new fast-casual franchise whose burgers, served slider-style, weigh three ounces each. Choose an uno, duo, trio or 16-pack of burgers and select from nine toppings, five sauces and three buns. And brace yourself, because Burgerim will soon open two more locations in Bergenfield and Elmwood Park.

YOUR PET PEEVES…

AT THE DRUGSTORE

• Burgerim, 2–63 Nathaniel Pl., Englewood, 201.731.3210, burgerim.com Beet salad at Technique Restaurant

You already need relief from aches and pains, but long lines and irritable customers can make matters worse at the drugstore. BERGEN readers sound off on what bothers them at their local store.

“The worst thing about drugstores is waiting in line at the pharmacy next to someone who may be sick.”

—Tara Montalbano, Bergenfield “I hate when I’m at the pickup or drop-off counter and the person behind me stands way too close.

I don’t like people looking or listening in about my prescriptions.

Stand back!”

—Ann Malbin, Upper Saddle River

“Even if you buy only one item from a big-chain drugstore, you’ll end up with a 4-foot-long receipt. Is that really necessary?”

—Kimberly Fantini, Dumont “I get annoyed every time I go to a drugstore to print out photos. The machines are usually out of order or slow and then I have to wait days for my prints to be ready.”

—Ariel Longman, Woodcliff Lake BERGENMAG.COM

KUDOS YOU’RE NOT ALONE

PAINTING PETS

How many have you tried?

ON TRACK FOR GREATNESS

Nobody’s saying you can’t keep going to your two or three fave restaurants. But when you’re hungry for something new, why not consult Yelp’s “Top 50 Places to Eat in New Jersey 2018”? Nine of them are right here in Bergen; you can Google their menus and book a reservation at one right now:

Pascack Valley High School senior HOPE BUZZELLI is giving back with the help of two of her favorite things: painting and pups. The 17-year-old began painting portraits of dogs up for adoption at River Vale’s Good Karma Dog Rescue (goodkarmadogrescue.com), and also did one of her family pup, Layla. After one of her portraits was displayed at an art show last summer, 13 other pet owners asked Buzzelli to depict their canines on canvas. Now the teen is running a full-on business and donates part of the proceeds from her paintings to the shelter. Good karma indeed!

In other Bergen-seniors-kicking-butt news, Northern Valley at Demarest High School’s SYDNEY WOODS has set a new county record for the girls’ pole vault, clearing 12 feet, seven inches, on opening night of the 2018–19 indoor track season. The University of Pennsylvania-bound athlete now ranks fourth on the all-time New Jersey list.

Adios, Carlo’s

Carlo’s Bakery in Ridgewood, owned by Cake Boss and former Little Ferry resident Buddy Valastro, has officially closed its doors after five years in business. Nicole Valdes, spokeswoman for the TLC star’s shops, confirmed the closures of that location and another in Morristown. “I’ll miss grabbing a cannoli and coffee on the weekends,” says Ridgewood’s Steve Meachum. Well, Carlo’s remains open in Hoboken, Wayne and Marlton, so head there if you’re looking to satisfy that Cake Boss sweet tooth!

IT’S A YUMBLING EXPERIENCE

24

Time tight? Kids hungry? Yumble! This service, which delivers 6–24 healthy prepared meals weekly for kids when parents are strapped for time, is the brainchild of Englewood resident Joanna Parker. In December it drew a $500K investment from reality star Bethenny Frankel when Parker appeared on TV’s Shark Tank. Mom-of-three Parker, who moved to Englewood from Manhattan in 2009 with her husband and business partner David, chatted with BERGEN about being a local “momtrepeneur”: Yumble started when you began cooking healthy meals for other local moms. Did you ever think it would go beyond the tri-state area?

I never imagined it would turn into the semi-national success it is today. We had a strong community of early adopters in this area, and we’ve expanded just through word of mouth. Though we’re connecting with a lot more customers now, I feel an extra bond with my New Jersey neighbors—I still get excited every time I see a shipping label for a New Jersey customer.

What’s next for Yumble?

The opportunities opening because of Shark Tank have been really exciting. We’re getting lots of inquiries for partnerships and business development opportunities, and awareness is spreading a lot faster since we aired.

And I’m really excited that Bethenny Frankel is on board—she is a local mom who understands what it’s like to juggle a million things.

Do you feel like a celebrity now that you’ve been on TV? I’m not sure I’d say that, but I will say David and I have been humbled by the outpouring of support from our community. I take extra time to connect with local New Jersey moms because I feel a special connection here. I often make deliveries personally to customers who live nearby so I can meet them and chat with them.

What do your kids like to eat around town when they’re not eating Yumble food?

I love taking them places where there isn’t just mac ’n cheese or pizza on the menu. It lets them engage with the food in the same way we hope our Yumble customers do— try new things, explore cuisines and realize eating should be fun. They love Hummus Elite in Englewood and they’re fans of falafel, sushi—and yes, pizza!

Social media unites us, sure, but sometimes scrolling through your Instagram feed can do more emotional harm than good. That’s why two Bergen County college students, JOHN PITERA of Lyndhurst and CHRIS SANTOS of Ramsey, have created Storytellers, a brand-new online community that fosters togetherness among people who feel anxious or alone and/or struggle with mental illness. How does it work? Storytellers users submit their “stories” to mental health professionals, who then connect these individuals with others struggling with similar issues. Storytellers (storytellerssocial.com) launches this spring.

You’ll feel it the moment you meet us.

Dr. James McGinty, chief of surgery at Englewood Health, believes that great surgeons are great

listeners. It’s why he always takes the time to let patients tell their story, explain what’s going on

with their health—and with their lives. He knows

from deep experience that listening helps a

physician make the proper diagnosis, and it always leads to the best possible treatment.

Experience the feeling of belonging that can only come from a healthcare team who really knows you, and knows how to care for you.

{ TALK OF THE TOWN }

WELCOME TO

Cresskill

Proximity to New York City makes this tiny borough a hotspot for residents and famous folk alike.

n ESTABLISHED: 1894 n POPULATION: 8,935 n WEBSITE:

Nestled in between relatively well-known and affluent Bergen County towns like Tenafly and Alpine, the quaint, 2.074 square-mile borough tends to slip under the radar. But with top-notch schools, a variety of home styles and close proximity to the Big Apple, everyone from young families to retired couples—and yes, celebrities too—finds something to love about Cresskill.

HISTORIC HUYLER HOUSE The Peter Huyler House was part of a farm that belonged to Loyalist John Ackerson in the 18th century. Because Ackerson was loyal to the British, the home was confiscated and sold in 1779 to John Huyler, a Revolutionary War captain in the Continental Army. His son Peter built the main wing of the current house in 1836, and the property is now a private residence. The house was added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places in 1980 and to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Culinary choices abound in Cresskill no matter the type of cuisine you’re craving. Want pizza?

Ray’s Traditional Pizza is your best bet. In the mood for Mediterranean?

Locals rave about Samdan Restaurant’s Turkish food. Hankering for some sushi? Hanami or Umeya will hit the spot. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with a sandwich, salad, soup or burger from Farmhouse Café and/or a cup of joe from C U Latte.

INNER CIRCLE most boroughs, Cresskill, WELCOME TO THE Like which is lined with both and more NEIGHBORHOOD Victorian-era modern houses, is divided into

Modeled after the Wash-

subsections. The residential Cresskill Manor, Cresskill Gardens and Cresskill Terrace sit west of the small downtown area on Piermont Road, while the Tammy Brook Hills section to the east boasts multi-million-dollar estates (and sweeping Hudson River views).

Dumont traffic circle and

66-foot obelisk sits in the center of the Cresskill/ pays homage to the nearly one million soldiers who passed through military base Camp Merritt on their way to Europe during World War I. Its base is inscribed with the names of the 578 people who died at Camp Merritt due to the influenza outbreak of 1918. The monument was officially dedicated on Memorial Day 1924.

THE BASICS

Cresskill was one of 26 boroughs that formed in Bergen County in 1894, a time that was referred to as the “Boroughitis” phenomenon. Its railroad to and from Manhattan was highly trafficked at the time, as Cresskill housed one of the world’s largest chicken hatcheries, which produced 10,000 chickens a week.

FAMOUS FACES Several notable people and celebrities have once called the borough home. From left to right: R&B singer Mary J. Blige, Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan and baseball Hall of Famer Mike Piazza each owned property here, as does former New York Knicks star Patrick Ewing.

Ewing bought a mansion in Cresskill for $6.85 million before putting it on the market in 2015 and as of press time, it still hadn’t sold.

HOME, SWEET HOME Thinking about buying or selling a house here?

The median home value in Cresskill is $639,400, up 5.4 percent over the past year. Home values are expected to increase 6.3 percent within the next year, according to Zillow.

“It was the right decision for me.”

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common irregular heartbeat condition.

Valley Health System has a dedicated center for treating it, called The Snyder Center for Comprehensive Atrial Fibrillation. We don’t simply treat AFib — we provide evidence-based care that emphasizes overall health. Here’s Arlene’s story.

Arlene Confronted atrial fibrillation

Arlene is a wife, mother and fiber artist — expressing her creativity through knitting, crocheting and spinning her own yarn. When Arlene was diagnosed with AFib, she decided to have doctors keep an eye on her condition. Over the years, the effects of AFib made every part of her life challenging. When she didn’t even have the energy to be creative, she knew she had to do something.

See how Arlene’s choice to seek treatment at Valley helped restore her creativity at MyStory.ValleyHealth.com. Or, to reach the Snyder Center, call 201-447-8291.

SECRETS OF THE FEMALE HEART For women, both diagnosis and treatment of heart disease can pose special challenges.

Experts say women tend to fear breast cancer personally but think—even if they have heart-disease risk factors—that a heart attack will happen to someone else. In reality, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, followed by all cancers.

Many women don’t realize that heart disease can show itself differently in women than in men. While some experience classic angina—chest pain—just as men do, others have nausea or flu-like symptoms instead.

That can make it difficult to diagnose.

There’s also a difference in the way male and female bodies handle plaque, which accumulates in arteries and can lead to blockages in blood flow to the heart. Doctors say that instead of a major blockage in one spot, women sometimes develop more diffuse buildups all along the artery wall. These elongated deposits can sometimes make angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft

4 STEPS TO BETTER

HEART HEALTH

surgery less effective.

Studies also show that women are more likely than men to develop dangerous conditions in the smaller byways of the arterial system, where they are more difficult to treat, rather than the major arteries leading directly to the heart.

During the childbearing years women get some protection from natural hormones, so on average they’re a little older when heart disease is diagnosed. And they’re more likely to have additional conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension.

Researchers are still learning about these differences between men and women. But what is clear is that women—especially those with known risk factors such as excess weight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or a history of smoking—should consult their doctors to make sure they’re doing all they can to protect themselves against heart disease.

Anything that gets your body moving and burning calories is good for your heart, as is being careful with what you put into your body. Here are 4 simple ways to keep your heart healthy:

• Be vigorously active for 30 minutes most days.

• Don’t smoke.

• Eat fewer fatty and salty foods, and more fruits and vegetables,

whole grains, fish and poultry.

•

See your doctor for regular physical exams—and if you experience chest pain, a rapid heartbeat or other troubling symptoms.

FOR THESE SYMPTOMS,

CALL 911 Studies show women are less likely than men to have the classic chest pain and more apt to have other symptoms, such as those listed in the last two bullet points.

• Chest discomfort that lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and then returns. It may be pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.

• Shortness of breath, often accompanying chest discomfort, but sometimes preceding it.

• Discomfort in other upper-body areas, including the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

• Other signs, such as nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness or breaking out in a cold sweat.

A SUPPER FOR SWEETHEARTS

St. Eve’s in Ho-Ho-Kus has been long regarded as one of the most romantic restaurants in the county, so we asked chef/owner Steve Christianson to create a menu exclusively for BERGEN readers. Trust us—this three-course meal for two is the perfect at-home date night with your honey.

BABY BEET SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CANDIED PISTACHIOS Yields: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

n½ lb. assorted baby beets (yellow, purple, orange) n ½ cup balsamic vinegar n 1 cup water n 3 Tbs. sugar n 2 Tbs. white vinegar n 1 Tbs. salt n 3 Tbs. goat cheese n 1 clementine, peeled and sectioned n ½8 cup peeled pistachios n arugula, for garnish n sea salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

Mix 2 Tbs. sugar, balsamic vinegar and half the water into a pan and cook it halfway down for a few minutes until it’s a syrup consistency; it’s done when it sticks to your finger.

Let cool.

Cook beets in a stock pot with lightly salted water, remaining 1 Tbs. sugar, salt and white vinegar for 10-15 minutes, until fork tender. Leave at room temperature to soak in the flavor.

Place pistachios dry on a pan. Throw them in the oven at 300°F for about 8 minutes, until golden brown; watch them closely to make sure they don’t burn.

Break cheese and sprinkle cheese, clementine and toasted pistachios onto beets. Drizzle balsamic syrup on the salad and finish with a dash of sea salt. Garnish with arugula.

“My husband Gil and I met in April 2009. He was on leave with the Marine Corps and came into Guess at the Garden State Plaza, where I was working. He says we had a brief conversation (one I don’t remember) before he left the store. He regretted not getting my number because by the time he went back to the store I wasn’t there. Gil came back every day looking for me and finally asked my co-worker for my contact info. My co-worker told him I was seeing someone, but he reached out on Facebook anyway. I kindly declined his offer to hang out because I was in a “happy” relationship with my high school sweetheart, so he was back off to Japan where he was stationed. We still kept in contact, though, because I wasn’t truly happy with my boyfriend. In December 2009, he came back to New Jersey for the holidays and we started hanging out. In January we went back to Japan and made it official; we got engaged that July. We were married in 2014 and are now raising our two young boys.”

LAUNDRYROOM ROW “I met my husband James because we lived on the same floor in a Manhattan apartment building. He took my clothes out of the washer before they were done so he could use the machine. Who does that? We didn’t get off on the right foot. Long story short, we bumped into each other after a few times of avoiding each other, and he eventually invited me to his party on New Year’s Eve 1999. I walked down the hall to his apartment and he answered in his robe, thinking I was the bagel delivery guy! After that we ended up going to lunch, moved in together three months later, and he proposed to me in the laundry room two months after I moved into his apartment. We got married in 2000, and I got pregnant with our first child on our honeymoon. We’ve been married almost 19 years and have three kids.”

COMMUTERS’ ENCOUNTER My husband Stephen and I met on a New Jersey Transit train in Trenton in 2002. We were both living in Philadelphia at the time; I was in grad school for my master’s in special education and he was working for PricewaterhouseCoopers. In the train station, this very handsome guy asked if I could watch his luggage for him while he ran to get a ticket, as he was in a hurry to make the train. I thought it was crazy that he trusted a stranger to watch his luggage! In any case, we talked for the entire train ride; the chemistry was there immediately. As we walked off the train I gave him my phone number hoping he would call me. When he called me for the first time, he told me he somehow didn’t save my number in his phone but had remembered it. I always wonder how different my life would’ve been if I hadn’t taken that exact train at that very moment. We now live and raise our family in Bergen County, in between my family in Philly and his on Long Island.”

MODERN-DAY BRADY BUNCH “I met my husband Jerry at The Gym in Englewood. We were both divorced with three kids each—he had two boys and a girl and I had two girls and a boy. Little did I know he was watching me for weeks at the gym. One day while I was coming out of the locker room I heard someone say, ‘Hey, no kids today?’ I told him they were with their father and he said, ‘Nice, we are on the same schedule.’ I didn’t realize he was making a pass at me! I eventually gave him my card, and he called me a few days later. We got married in 2014 and are the modern-day Brady Bunch—our kids are 20, 18, 18, 18, 17 and 15. We even have the dog and the housekeeper!”

MET ON A MISSION “My husband Brian survived 9/11. In 2002, his grandma encouraged him to get involved with a service organization, the American Special Children’s Pilgrimage Group, that takes profoundly disabled children and young adults to Lourdes, France each Easter. He went and loved it.

The following year, in 2003, I was a senior at Seton Hall University and was offered a chance to take the same service trip. We met standing in the hotel lobby in Lourdes, where the first thing Brian ever said to me was to bring a sweatshirt because it was cold. The second time we spoke he was wearing a grass skirt and coconut bra for the luauthemed party that night for the kids! We fell in love there, got engaged there two years later and married a year after that. We worked with that organization for 10 years, bringing kids out of their routines of disability and sickness.

Now we are saving up to take our son and daughter there.

Our children are not disabled but we want to bring them there one day to teach them about special needs children and show them love in all its forms.”

AN ACCIDENTAL ENCOUNTER “I met my husband by accident—almost literally—back in September 1981. With my always loyal, sometimes crazy friend Annie, I was pulling out of a parking space in front of the old Simple Simon’s in Paramus. Another car started pulling into the space next to ours, nearly hitting Annie’s Chevette. She looked over, jumped out of the passenger seat and proceeded to jump into the other car. It turned out the driver, Matt, was a friend she had met when they both worked at The Gap in Paramus Park. Unbeknownst to me, Annie made plans for us to meet up with Matt at King Pizza when he got off work that night. I agreed, begrudgingly, to go along, and that was the night our romance began. On Feb. 20, Matt and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, all because of my crazy friend Annie—and my questionable driving skills!”

LOVE AT 30 ROCK “My husband Don and I met in the summer of 1961 at the Rockefeller Center branch of Banker’s Trust Company—we were in separate training programs there. I was just out of high school, and he was out of college and had spent time in the Army Reserves. In February 1962—we weren’t dating for long— Don met with my overprotective father to ask for my hand in marriage; then he stopped the car a few blocks from my house and proposed. We got married in 1963 and have two children and five grandchildren. These past few years have taken a bit of a health toll on me, and Don has been beside me every step of the way. He’s been the strength I’ve needed to keep going.

I would say he’s gone above and beyond the call of duty, but that’s what you do when you have grown into our kind of love. I could never have asked for a better partner in life.”

—Mary Ann Farrell, Closter

MEANT TO BE, TWICE OVER “It was the fall of 1983. I was 19, he was 21. I was with some friends at Pascack Brook County Park in Westwood when he pulled up with his then-wife and new baby—we had a mutual friend in the group. Over the next three years I would see him at random places—the supermarket, a bar with another girl.

Then, in 1987, he randomly showed up at my job to do some interior work on my office. I told one of my co-workers that I had admired him from afar for years, and so she told his boss I was interested. Through this exchange I learned that his name was Bryan and he was separated. Once the interior work in the office was done about a week later, I feared I’d never see Bryan again. But one day he came into the office, walked right up to me and asked me out! Our first date was February 1987, we married in 1990 and our son Kyle was born in 1994. Bryan and I divorced in 1997, but kept in touch because of Kyle. In February 2008, Bryan had a health scare and almost died. I visited him at the hospital and soon thereafter we started to see each other again and have been together ever since. One day I was cleaning out some linens and came across a towel with its manufacturer’s label still attached. The label is the name of the street we live on. We were meant to be. Our love started two times, years apart, both in the month of February.”

A DISASTER’S HAPPY ENDING “My husband Jonathan and I met at a pool bar in Mexico in 2005. We got stuck in a category 5 hurricane on the trip; he got a flight home to California but my friend and I were stuck in Mexico on standby. He offered to stay back with me even though he had a plane ticket and had met me only three days prior. I told him to go home, but we exchanged numbers and I promised I’d call him when I was back in the United States.

After 15 hours in a shelter, my friend and I finally flew back to the U.S.—to Dallas, since it was the first flight out—the next day. Our option from there was either to sleep in the Dallas airport overnight before heading home to New Jersey in the morning or take a same-day flight to Los Angeles, where Jonathan could hopefully pick us up. We arrived at LAX almost two hours later and spent the night at Jonathan’s. He then came to visit me about a week after that. That was 14 years ago, and the rest is history.”

PARTNERS IN WORK AND LIFE “I was a junior at St. Luke’s High School in Ho-Ho-Kus in 1958 when my friend and I went to visit her boyfriend, who was playing basketball with one of his friends, Tony. Tony and I had a connection from the start but it wasn’t love at first sight—we had to get to know each other. We started dating right away. He accompanied me to my junior and senior proms, and we dated for four years while he was studying to become a dentist. A severe case of mono prevented Tony from taking his dental boards on time, but it was a blessing in disguise. He originally planned on being an associate with a dentist in Ridgewood. Because his boards were delayed, he took an internship in oral surgery at Martland Medical Center in Newark in the meantime instead. We then got married in January 1962 while I trained to become a dental assistant. Twenty years later I finally enrolled in college—I’d gone straight to work after high school—and graduated with honors from Ramapo College in 1979 thanks to my amazing husband, who took care of our three kids each weekend so I could do my homework.

“Tony and I eventually built our practice and had three different dental offices across North Haledon. For 20 years I worked as a dental assistant across from my husband, and never once have we had an argument about work. He did his job; I did mine. We are still in Wyckoff two miles from the home our kids grew up in, but we spend most of the year in Florida now that we’re retired. We have three great kids and six wonderful grandchildren. I am not saying life was always perfect, but even when times were tough I was always happy to hear that garage door open and see Tony walk in.

We just celebrated our 57th wedding anniversary, and for that I am forever grateful.”

MAMA KNOWS BEST “My husband Dave was a DJ at my mother’s work party in 1987. He was very personable and attractive and my mom thought we’d be a good match, so she asked him if he knew me—we live in a very small town. Dave said he did know me—even though he didn’t, but just recognized my name— so he later came to see me at work and say hello. I was very busy and I asked him to make me a mix tape. When he delivered the mix tape we went for a ride to listen to it and started dating. We eventually got engaged, but I tried to break off the engagement. I found out I could potentially develop multiple sclerosis, and I didn’t want Dave to have to deal with a sick wife (I wasn’t officially diagnosed until 2010). He wasn’t worried though. He said that any health problems or issues we’d encounter we would get through together, and he was right. We have been married 29 years and have three amazing children. My mother passed in 2014, but I thank her every day for hand-picking my husband for me. She certainly picked a gem!”

—Trish McGowan Barteck, Wood-Ridge

LOVE BOAT “My husband Boris and I are both from Kiev, Ukraine.

Our families both emigrated in 1979, and at that time as refugees we had to go through Austria and Italy before reaching our final destination in the United States. There was only one plane leaving Rome to each destination each day. Both of our families arrived in New York on Oct. 15, 1979, which means my husband and I were very likely on the same plane when I was 4 and he was almost 5. We then spent a Thanksgiving together in 1987, when I was 12 and he was 13, at our parents’ mutual friends’ house.

We actually have pictures of my husband’s father and my father at that Thanksgiving! Our parents had known each other only vaguely through the years but never really spent time together before that day. Coincidentally, we both started New York Law School in 1997 and just happened to be in the same group of friends and started dating. Maybe it was meant to be and maybe it just happened, but I love our love story. We have been married since 2000 and have two boys.”

This page: With black-and-white tiles designed to flow like a rug, the dual bathroom spaces, seen here from the vestibule leading to the master bedroom, are unified despite their lively differences. They also have in common top-of-the-line Samuel Heath faucets. Opposite page: Clockwise from top left, black-and-white marble flooring in a basket-weave pattern unites the two bathroom chambers and creates a neutral setting to showcase their art; the Wood-Mode vanity is sheer 21st century with its inch-thick Park Ave. doors, bright white finish and Mont Blanc quartzite counters; his-and-hers medicine chests with LED strips set into the mirrors offer charging stations and magnification; a rain showerhead and tiled niche add to the luxury of this enlarged shower enclosure.

Now two Pascack Valley empty nesters can be reminded of global travel every time they step into their colonial’s master bathroom. As original owners, they had lived with a mauve carpet and traditional step-up Jacuzzi in this space for some 25 years. But then their two adult children left the nest, and in late 2017 it was time for a “bright and bold” design to carry them through their golden years. Enter Toni Saccoman of the Ridgewood design firm Ulrich. Her mission: to harmonize the couple’s diverse tastes, yet avoid major construction by preserving the double-room format that gives the tub its own sanctuary. To evoke the luxurious spirit of global travel, Saccoman drew from the poshest bathrooms to infuse a “wow” factor into what she describes as a transitional with a modern edge and a “twist on an art deco style.”

“I travel for business all over the world,” says the homeowner, “and I started taking note of hotel bathrooms.” Although he and his wife are self-proclaimed shower people, they knew the tub had to take center stage in the more spacious of the two rooms. With

its sexy curves, the black soaker for two (by Villeroy & Boch) performs that starring role in a stage serenely set with a park-like view. Saccoman mastered the challenge of an asymmetrical room with shades of gray to restore balance.

Some highlights: a “very 21st century” Wood-Mode vanity with bright white finish and Robern his-and-hers medicine chest mirrors; a punch of pink from a Chanel No. 5 poster; and black-and-white marble tile flooring in a basket-weave pattern sprawling across both rooms.

The smaller room is also loaded with bells and whistles. Did we mention that the Toto Washlet (combo toilet and bidet) lights up, opens when you approach and works with remote control? The luxury continues where these shower aficionados are most likely to find refreshment, with rain and hand-held showerheads in an enlarged enclosure with a bench seat and a built-in niche for essentials.

When the couple are not off on an exciting trip, staying home can now be its own adventure.

Dinner for two, a dozen red roses and a box of chocolates might suffice for Valentine’s Day. But when you really want to treat your special someone, a getaway to one of the world’s most romantic destinations can be a trip both of you will never forget.

PARIS

Paris is for lovers, so it isn’t cliché to link the French capital with romance. After all, it boasts two of the top 10 most popular places to propose, then post on YouTube (Disneyland Paris and the Eiffel Tower).

But the city gets its reputation from more than just tourist hotspots. Sweethearts can stroll the cobblestone streets of Montmartre and Le Marais, holiday in a chic boutique hotel and dine in one of the city’s 40,000 restaurants, where champagne, wine and oysters can create the right mood. And Parisians themselves—their personality and language—are also part of the attraction. A Google Translate survey found that 34 of the top 1,000 words translated into French were about love.

MAUI

Newlyweds flock to this Hawaiian island for a variety of reasons: beaches, climate, exploration and relaxation. Whatever they’re looking for, they’ll fall in love with it here. Honeymooners (and others) seeking an adventure can hike to the summit of Mt. Haleakala for an Instagram-worthy sunrise, then continue their postwedding party at a traditional luau. Visitors can tour paradise by land, air and sea—traverse mountainside trails, journey into the clouds in a helicopter ride for two and dive into the Pacific for a chance encounter with a sea turtle or dolphin. “We loved seeing the volcanoes and snorkeling,” says Hillsdale resident Amar Barajli, “but the food was just as memorable. You can’t beat Gerard’s at the Plantation Inn—the cucumber soup and fresh seafood are on point.”

VENICE

Known widely for its round-theclock nightlife, melting pot of cuisines and vibrant music scene, the Big Easy is also one of the most romantic destinations in the U.S. Soak up the architecture of the Garden District mansions, picnic under the centuries-old oak trees of City Park, and sit hand-in-hand with your honey at The Fly behind the Audubon Zoo as the sun sets over the Mississippi. Of course, there’s the French Quarter, where the beignets are as abundant as the bourbon. Here, the residents and revelers live life to the fullest, but it’s also where openness, acceptance and romance can flourish. “My boyfriend-nowhusband and I went for Mardi Gras a few years ago,” says Sharon Altneau of Waldwick. “As much as we loved the parties, I found a quiet streetcar ride past the big estates just as fun.”

Our natural attraction to bodies of water might be one of the reasons the City of Canals is considered the most romantic place on Earth.

A moonlit gondola ride (with or without a gondolier’s serenade) along the labyrinth of canals is the quintessential intimate activity in Venice—Hollywood has embraced this scene, and it’s pretty personal in real life too.

Waterfront dining is also a treat for couples, and there are scores of cafés and restaurants along the city’s quieter canals. (Save room for after-dinner gelato!) A visit to Alberoni Beach, St. Mark’s Square and the Teatro La Fenice should be on each sightseeing couple’s to-do list. Of course, there are plenty of boutiques and craft shops where you can find a token or two for your darling.

This island nation in the Indian Ocean is synonymous with exotic luxury. It’s where John Legend proposed to Chrissy Teigen and where Prince William and Kate Middleton escape to when they seek seclusion. The area consists of just 1 percent land, meaning pristine beaches are abundant.

Scuba diving is one of the most popular things to do, and an array of marine life (sea turtles, eagle rays, whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, eels, puffers and a variety of colorful fish) awaits.

Prefer to stay dry? Take a hike to the National Museum and the Friday Mosque, where you can soak in once-in-a-lifetime views of the majestic pre-World War I palace. For some R&R, indulge in a beachside couples’ massage or an evening stroll along bioluminescent beaches.

BERGEN COUNTY’S

TOP

DOCTORS 2019 BERGEN COUNTY IS HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT AND SOUGHT-AFTER PHYSICIANS IN THE COUNTRY. To help you find the best of the best, across more than 60 specialties, BERGEN magazine commissioned Professional Research Services (PRS) of Troy, Michigan to conduct a peer-review survey of thousands of practicing and active physicians across the county. Doctors were asked to select peers whom they deem are the best within their practice areas and whom they would seek out for particular procedures.

All the final honorees were fact-checked with the State of New Jersey and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System. The highest vote getters within each specialty who are in good standing with the state are included here in the third annual “Bergen County’s Top Doctors” list.

While not every outstanding area doctor is listed in “Bergen County’s Top Doctors,” we think you will find it to be a valuable resource in the future for all your physician needs.

UMER R. DASTI, M.D. ANTHONY J. DELFICO, M.D. MARK M. PIZZURRO, M.D. IN 1980, THE LATE DR. JOSEPH P. PIZZURRO bought a building less than two blocks from the center of town, with a vision to establish a renowned practice devoted to orthopedic medicine. Now 38 years later, Ridgewood Orthopedic Group is a multi-specialty team of seven orthopedic surgeons, one physiatrist, five physician assistants and one nurse practitioner. The group specializes in all areas of orthopedics including spine; hip and knee replacements; foot and ankle trauma and reconstruction; elbow, wrist and hand surgery and sports medicine offering patients of all ages access to technologically advanced medical care for conditions that involve sports medicine, back and neck ailments, arthritis and bone fractures.

Ridgewood Orthopedic Group is deeply committed to the advancement of knowledge especially in the field of new hip and knee implant designs and in the improvement of patient treatment protocols,

088_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 RidgewoodOrtho_SP_0219_FINAL.indd 1

all of which lead to higher quality care and the potential for improved outcomes for patients with arthritis of the hip or knee. The group helped to initiate The Valley Hospital’s Robotics Program for hip and knee replacement, the first in Bergen County.

Although highly trained in their respective disciplines, each doctor focuses on the whole patient working in partnership with one another to manage individual conditions with the continual focus on getting better and staying healthy. By engaging in a joint effort approach, they cohesively address patient’s needs, ensuring a full understanding of their condition and the steps necessary to live pain-free, healthy lives.

The practice has initiated a campaign “Mobilizing the Community” making a big push to promote the value of exercise and movement.

“Particularly in the cold weather season, people tend to want to stay indoors and hibernate,” says Dr. Mark M. Pizzurro, the son of founder

RIDGEWOOD ORTHOPEDIC GROUP

85 South Maple Ave., Ridgewood, NJ 07450 • 201.445.2830 • ridgewoodortho.com Dr. Joseph P. Pizzurro. “By getting people more mobile, we can enhance the healing process or better yet, decrease the odds of having them suffer from orthopedic problems in the first place.” As part of the practice’s “keep moving” initiative, the doctors will help lay out an appropriate exercise plan, and when necessary advocate for physical therapy as a way to make the body and joints feel restored and ready for a more active, fit lifestyle. In partnership with patients, the doctors stress physical activity as a way to strengthen bones and muscles; a key component to good orthopedic treatment.

All seven surgeons are affiliated with The Valley Hospital as well as two Bergen County surgical centers. Therapeutic injections for pain management are done in the office. “As a rule, we take a conservative approach to treating most orthopedic conditions. We often try physical therapy, injections and activity modifications before recommending

089_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 RidgewoodOrtho_SP_0219_FINAL.indd 2

surgery,” explains Dr. Anthony J. Delfico, a sports medicine specialist.

Our bigger goal is finding ways to manage and treat pain through lifestyle modifications and good health alternatives.”

The hardworking physicians and staff at Ridgewood Orthopedic Group are a close-knit group always in sync with patients needs as well as each other’s. “Our goals are simple,” says Dr. Umer Dasti, a sports medicine surgeon. “We strive to provide top-notch surgical and nonsurgical care for our patients through education and strong patientphysician relationships with a mindfulness on getting patients healthy through good habits, stress management and exercise.” Ridgewood Orthopedic Group will do whatever it takes to keep you active to do the things you love and lead the life you deserve.

For over two decades, his reputation has grown as a leader and innovator in pediatric and adult neurosurgery, including brain tumor treatments and epilepsy surgery. His love for helping people with critical medical situations encouraged him to pursue neurosurgery, and his dedication and excellence in the field is recognized globally.

Following his residency and fellowship at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Hospital & Medical Center and a fellowship with the Pediatric Neurosurgery and Neuro-oncology Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. Fried received scores of awards, memberships and accomplishments. He has held leadership positions at many major medical centers in New Jersey and at The Cleveland Clinic prior to that. He also directs a world renowned pediatric neuroscience program.

090_BERGEN_FEB19_FINAL.indd 73

Dr. Fried has a very large practice treating adults and children with brain tumors, tethered cords, spina bifida, epilepsy, spasticity and craniofacial abnormalities. In the summer of 2017, Dr. Fried and his team added a fellowship-trained spine surgeon, Allison M. Rathmann, DO, and can now offer patients the newest techniques and procedures.

Allison M. Rathmann, DO is a board certified adult and pediatric neurosurgeon. She is a Kentucky transplant who moved to the Northeast in 2003 to pursue her dream of a medical degree. She graduated from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine on Long Island in 2007 and then moved on to New Jersey for her neurosurgical residency, which she split between Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Hackensack University Medical Center. She then continued her education in 2013 as a pediatric neurosurgery fellow at the Cleveland Clinic. Allison then returned to New Jersey to begin practicing with her mentors at Advanced Neurosurgery Associates. While her primary interest is in pediatrics, she also has a thriving adult practice and treats both cranial and spinal diseases.

741 Teaneck Rd., Suite B, Teaneck, NJ 07666 • 201.833.2888 • heritagesurgicalgroup.com ONE OF THE FEW REMAINING INDEPENDENT MEDICAL GROUPS in New Jersey, Heritage Surgical Group was established by Dr. Stavros Christoudias and Dr. Farshad Mansouri to honor and uphold the highest standards in medical care taught to them by their respective fathers, both dedicated surgeons.

As general surgeons, the group is trained to diagnose, treat and manage patients with a broad spectrum of surgical conditions with health and safety always as their driving force. With over 25 years of combined experience practicing medicine, the two board-certified Top Doctors perform surgeries that involve complex abdominal reconstruction procedures, hernia, gallbladder and appendix removal, and skin and soft tissue masses. Dr. Mansouri has additional training in colon and rectal surgery.

“We practice in a manner that epitomizes the strong traditions of our fathers when doctors took a very personal interest in every patient’s well-being,” says Dr. Christoudias. “We are humbled by the work and

095_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 HeritageSurgical_FP_0219_FINAL.indd 1

deep connections they made with patients and pay homage to these conventions.”

The surgeons are affiliated with Chilton Medical Center, Holy Name Medical Center, Pascack Valley Medical Center and The Valley Hospital; smaller hospitals with shared philosophies where they can perform the greatest good for the people who need them the most.

“We choose to remain independent to give patients -- not our bottom line – top priority. By spending quality time with patients answering questions and addressing concerns, we assure them how much we care,” says Dr. Mansouri. “At Heritage Surgical, patients are not just a number or a face, but real human beings seeking the best medical treatment possible.”

The doctors are grateful for the steady stream of referrals and high patient praises that created the need for a third physician, Dr. David S. Radvinsky. They look forward to the future building bonds and carrying on the time-honored doctor-patient practices of the past.

NORDEN LASER EYE ASSOCIATES

1144 E. Ridgewood Ave., Ridgewood, NJ 07450 • 201.444.2442 • nordenlasik.com WHEN YOU THINK OF LASIK EYE SURGERY, you’ll likely think of Richard A. Norden, M.D., an expert in the field of advanced laser vision correction procedures. As a cornea specialist, he’s educated over a thousand ophthalmologists on how to perform LASIK and lectures nationally and internationally on the subject. But its Dr. Norden’s patients of all ages who are grateful for his compassionate ability to help them feel completely at ease about eye correction surgery.

Dr. Norden focuses on three laser eye correction techniques. He’s been committed for over two decades to perfecting LASIK with the most gentle, comfortable equipment available. The earlier a patient opts for LASIK, the quicker they’ll eliminate the costs of buying and replacing eyeglasses or contact lenses. For patients who suffer from dry eye and who need rapid recovery, Dr. Norden is the only practice in New Jersey offering SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction). The SMILE technique involves

097_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 DrNorden_FP_0219_FINAL.indd 1

using the VisuMax laser to make a micro-incision which changes the shape of the cornea to achieve instant refractive correction. For baby boomers with presbyopia who prefer to live without reading glasses, Dr. Norden’s blended vision technique, or monovision treatment, is an ideal solution.

Blended vision corrects one eye for near focusing and one for distance focusing. After a short period of adjustment, your brain learns to automatically use the proper eye to focus. The technique works much like tuning stereo speakers so the brain hears the perfect blend of sounds.

Dr. Norden has also performed LASIK on hundreds of doctors and their family members, which gained his reputation as a physician’s physician.

He’s a board-certified ophthalmologist with cornea and refractive surgery fellowship training at the prestigious New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, among his many distinctions and awards. If you think you’d like freedom from eye glasses, visit Dr. Norden for a free consultation.

All the final honorees were fact-checked with the State of New Jersey and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System. The highest vote getters within each specialty who are in good standing with the state are included here in the third annual “Bergen County’s Top Dentists” list.

ANTHONY BONURA, D.M.D., PA

217 Washington Pl., Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604 • 201.288.2727 • anthonybonuradmd.com CREATING HEALTHY BEAUTIFUL SMILES is what Dr. Anthony Bonura is known for.

After Dr. Bonura earned his dental degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, he completed a General Practice Hospital Residency in Seattle as a commissioned officer in the Dental Corp of the United States Public Health Service. He returned to his hometown of Lodi and opened his General Dentistry Practice there in 1982. In 1988, Dr. Bonura relocated his practice to Hasbrouck Heights, where he has been providing quality dental care for thirty years.

Dr. Bonura’s main focus is on oral hygiene and preventive dentistry, which if addressed properly and consistently, significantly improves a patient’s smile. Good preventive dental care is a cooperative task which includes the patient, the dentist and the dental staff. Dr. Bonura makes certain that his patients understand not only what to do, but why.

Only the most successful procedures are offered at Dr. Bonura’s office. In addition to thorough cleaning performed by registered

116_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 AnthonyBonura_FP_0219_Final.indd 2

Dental Hygienists, Dr. Bonura uses digital radiography, the most current form of dental x-rays. This allows for instant viewing by the dentist, faster diagnosis with a reduction in an already low exposure to traditional x-rays. With this technology, Dr. Bonura can detect potential developmental abnormalities, bone loss and other issues before they advance in severity.

When conditions require esthetic treatment, Dr. Bonura draws on his working relationships with a select group of specialists in esthetic restorative dentistry.

With new modes of treatment and technology being introduced frequently, Dr. Bonura stays current by regularly attending continuing education courses in dental practices. He maintains memberships with the American Dental Association, the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Academy of Sports Dentistry.

Patients choose Dr. Bonura because they feel confident and comfortable with his expertise and the nurturing nature of his staff.

RAMSEY PERIODONTICS

116 North Franklin Tpke., Ramsey, NJ 07446 • 201.825.7677 • drjulianayun.com DR. JULIANA YUN credits her late father for her decision to become a dentist. As the first Korean dentist in New York City, he paved the way and exemplified the meaning of trusted doctor and friend. His best advice “Never forget that the mouth you are treating is connected to a human being with feelings and emotions,” are words by which Dr. Yun practices every day.

Dr. Yun’s expansive career including work in the United States Navy has given her a broad understanding of patients from all walks of life. Dr. Yun’s proudest accomplishment is the personal connection patients have with her and the practice’s loyal and dedicated team. “Patient care is a team approach that starts from our friendly and attentive front desk staff, Maggie and Ashley, to my caring and kind assistant, Yuki and my talented right-hand periodontal hygienist, Sue. From the first phone inquiry to the doctor’s personal

120_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 JulianaYun_FP_0219_Final.indd 2

call following any procedure, patients feel welcomed and safe in Dr. Yun’s gentle hands. “Getting to the bottom of why a person came to my practice is the first and most important step,” explains Dr. Yun. “When someone presents with periodontal disease and requires treatment, it’s important to understand the history so I can get them back to a point of health.”

Dr. Yun, a board-certified periodontist, offers a wide scope of periodontics from cosmetic crown lengthening to periodontal plastic surgery, extractions, implants, deep cleanings and full arch implant placement, to the treatment of periodontal disease.

180 Old Tappan Rd., Suite #1, Old Tappan, NJ 07675 • 201.768.0018 • oldtappanorthodontics.com YOU MIGHT SAY THAT DR. NICOLAS FREDA OR “DR. NICK” IS A JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES. Although he holds a degree in dentistry, a certification in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, has researched at the university level and is a devoted educator, it’s still working with patients of all ages that is, first and foremost, his true passion.

Always knowing that healthcare was his calling, it was the impact a smile has on people’s lives that drew Dr. Nick into orthodontics. “The cool thing about orthodontics is that we work with the natural tooth structure, simply changing the position to achieve a beautiful smile. A smile lights up the face and tells a story. Just think about all the movies and songs that derive meaning from a smile,” comments Dr. Nick.

Dr. Nick is proud to be the third orthodontist to own and oversee Old Tappan Orthodontics, a practice that dates back to the early 70’s.

122_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 OldTappanOrtho_FP_0219_Final.indd 2

Although he has transformed Old Tappan to a state-of-the-art facility, what hasn’t changed is the personalized, community feeling that has been its trademark for almost 50 years. Having worked in orthodontic practices with very rigid, corporate environments, Dr. Nick’s focus is building and maintaining a compassionate, family-focused atmosphere. Because the practice has spanned many decades, he takes great joy in seeing generations of families – treating children and their parents and grandparents. “I’ve come to know much more about a family than just the health of their teeth and mouths. I feel privileged to share in many of my patient’s special celebrations and traditions,” says Dr. Nick. “It’s a very hands-on, personal connection.”

Dr. Nick also teaches at NYU College of Dentistry working chairside with residents as well as teaching as many as 400 students in the Invisalign Clinic.

123_BERGEN_FEB19.indd 1 RidgewoodValleyPediatric_FP_0219_Final.indd 1

She then made the decision that her dental career would be limited to the field of pediatric dentistry. Dr. Tamar is forever introducing the newest technologies to assure that each visit is pain-free and pleasant.

A graduate of Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, Dr. Tamar completed her post-graduate training in pediatric dentistry at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, where she served as chief resident during her second year. She never tires of hearing “I feel lucky to be your patient.” Dr. Tamar truly practices what she believes and can be heard saying “More so than executing the perfect filling, I strive to be a behavior management specialist and to teach my patients a lifetime of healthy habits.”

His efforts yield beautiful restorations that are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.

“It’s the realization of a dream as the two components of our practice converge to create what we have envisioned; it is a privilege to now bring the digital workflow to patients and dentists alike,” says Dr. Mark Samani. “Our office renovation was done with our patients in mind every step of the way to deliver a comfortable and inviting environment.”

“All the best and latest technology without sound dental techniques and high personal standards are useless,” states Dr. Jin Ha Joung. “We wanted the digital workflow to enhance the dental experience for our patients and ensure the best final result possible. Neither are mutually exclusive and with our new office renovation and educational institute, we are improving oral health and changing lives along the way.”

“We are excited about the future of our practice -- both the new Ridgewood Dental Associates and the Ridgewood Implant Institute — and continuing to provide the very latest in dental expertise to patients.”

KELLY McNALLY PASSARELLI, D.D.S.

172 Franklin Ave., Ridgewood, NJ 07450 • 201.444.4050 • theridgewooddentist.com BORN WITH A CLEFT LIP AND PALATE, Dr. Kelly McNally remembers well how it feels to be ashamed to smile. Wearing braces as early as first grade and following several reconstructive surgeries, Dr. McNally achieved the gift of a smile.

The significance of a smile led Dr. McNally to pursue general dentistry with a focus on cosmetic and restorative procedures. “Dentistry is a team effort between the dentist and the patient. It’s my job to empower and educate my patients, to listen to their needs and to then create proper function and esthetics,” explains Dr. McNally.

Building the practice with her husband, the late Dr. Lawrence Passarelli, Dr. McNally’s proudest achievement is carrying on the Passarelli family legacy for compassionate dental care. “We are truly a family practice,” says Dr. McNally. “It began with my father-in-law, then Larry and I took it to the next level.” A graduate of the University of Maryland Dental School, she went on to complete a general practice residency at the Medical Center of Delaware.

CLAY POT NOODLE SOUP Yields: 1 serving

INGREDIENTS

n 3 oz. ground or finely chopped pork (about ½ cup) n 2 cups pork broth n ½ cup Napa cabbage sliced 8 crosswise into ½-inch strips n 5 Tbs. pickled mustard greens or ¼ cup quick pickled cabbage n large handful of fresh or cooked rice or wheat noodles (the weight will depend on the kind of noodles) n ½ tsp. salt n ½ tsp. dried chile oil, plus more for serving n 2 Tbs. garlic chives cut into 1-inch pieces n Zhenjiang vinegar, for serving

DIRECTIONS

Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil.

Blanch the ground pork in boiling water for 5-10 seconds, breaking up the meat with chopsticks or a spoon, then drain the meat and set it aside; it will still be quite pink.

Put the pork broth into a small pot, place it on the stove over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Add the pork, the Napa cabbage and 3 Tbs. of pickled vegetables to the pot. Return the soup to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the stems of the Napa cabbage soften slightly. Add the noodles and cook until they’re soft (about 30 seconds for rice noodles and 2 minutes for wheat noodles).

When the noodles have softened, stir the salt into the broth, then top the soup with the garlic chives, dried chile oil and the remaining pickled vegetables. Cook for another 30 seconds, remove from the heat, and serve with the vinegar and more dried chile oil on the side.

While pork is considered to be a red meat, lean pork loin is nutritionally comparable to poultry.

If you don’t eat pork, swap in lean ground chicken in this recipe instead. You could also use vegetable or chicken broth in place of the pork broth.”

DRIED MUSHROOM SALAD Yields: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

n2 oz. sliced dried mushrooms, such as porcinis or shiitakes (about 3½ cups) n cool water n 7–8 tsp. Zhenjiang vinegar n 3–4 tsp. light soy sauce n 2–3 tsp. dried chile oil n ¼ tsp. salt n ¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves and stems

DIRECTIONS

Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl, add cool water to cover by about 3 inches, and let sit until the mushrooms are softened all the way through, about 10 to 20 minutes. Drain the softened mushrooms and squeeze them to remove any excess water. Toss the mushrooms with the smaller amounts of vinegar, soy sauce and dried chile oil, then add the salt and cilantro. Taste and add more seasoning if needed. The salad can sit for up to 1 hour before serving.

FRIED RICE WITH HAM, POTATOES AND PEAS Yields: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

n ¼ cup vegetable oil n 1 cup shelled peas, fresh or thawed n 2 medium waxy potatoes, such as Yukon gold, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice (about 1¾ cups) n 2½ oz. Yunnan ham or Spanish Jamón Serrano, rind and any large layer of fat removed, cut into 1 ⁄3-inch dice (about ½ cup) n 1 tsp. salt n ¼ tsp. ground white pepper n 4 cups cold cooked white rice, preferably prepared the day before

DIRECTIONS

In a wok, heat the oil over a high flame until very hot.

Add the peas, potato and ham to the oil and stir and toss to coat. Add the salt and pepper and stir-fry, stirring and flipping constantly, until the seasonings are mixed well and the fat on the ham has become translucent, about 1 minute.

Add 1 cup of water to the wok (enough to cover the vegetables and ham by about ¼ inch) and cover the wok with a lid. Cook the ingredients until tender, 8–10 minutes, then remove the lid and let any remaining water bubble away for a few seconds if necessary.

Add the rice to the wok and stir-fry everything together until the ingredients are well mixed and the rice is heated through. Taste the rice and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Opt for brown rice instead of unenriched white rice as it’s richer in nutrients including fiber, protein and B vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium and copper. Like other whole grains, brown rice has also been shown to potentially reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes, plus it’s gluten-free for those who have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.”

Nature’s Flavorful Healer Garlic is chock-full of disease-fighting compounds, no matter how you slice—or crush, or peel or mince—it.

When a cook reaches for the garlic, it’s surely for reasons of taste—this plant is used to enhance flavor in thousands of dishes.

But before it was a culinary marvel, garlic was recommended for medicinal purposes.

The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, “the father of Western medicine,” prescribed garlic to treat infections, respiratory problems and fatigue. And athletes in the original Olympics were given garlic to enhance their performance.

Garlic is a plant from the allium (onion) family that closely resembles onions, shallots and leeks. Each garlic bulb has 10–20 smaller sections called cloves, which contain sulphur compounds including allicin. Allicin, which helps regulate blood pressure and bloodsugar levels and is responsible for garlic’s distinct aroma, is partially destroyed by cooking, which is why experts recommend consuming garlic raw or cooked just slightly (garlic breath be damned). But there are still plenty of other ways to reap the benefits of this pungent natural healer.

blood disorders, because it can interfere with medications and/or exacerbate side effects.

BUY/STORE/SERVE Stop by your local farmers’ market to purchase this plant—it will likely have a better, fresher selection than a supermarket.

Look for garlic with plump bulbs intact and firm cloves, and avoid garlic with green shoots at the tip, an indication it’s already started to sprout and is not as fresh. Store these bad boys in a cool, dark place with good ventilation to prevent them from getting moldy or sprouting.

Now for the fun part: eating! Garlic can be consumed raw—or minced, peeled, pressed, sliced or crushed before cooking. It complements savory dishes such as soups and sauces and adds flavor to pizza, pasta, poultry and stirfries. For an unexpected burst of

flavor, mash garlic into potatoes, sauté it with vegetables or make a healthy, simple salad dressing or meat marinade by mixing pressed cloves with olive oil. Don’t want to do the work? Hop on over to southern Europe, birthplace of the highly regarded Mediterranean diet, where garlic is an essential part of the cuisine. Doesn’t your health deserve such a vacation?

FAST FACT If you’re worried about garlic breath, a study published in the Journal of Food Science in 2016 suggests that munching on raw mint leaves, apples or lettuce after a garlicky meal can help neutralize allicin, which is responsible for the plant’s odor.

—Haley Longman

POWER UP Garlic, which means “spear-shaped leek” in Middle English, contains manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, fiber and selenium, the last of which is imperative for the immune system and thyroid to function properly. An ounce of garlic boasts 1.98 grams of protein, 0.6 grams of fiber and 9 grams of carbs, all for just 42 calories. Some of its vaunted benefits are more clearly established than others—it’s been proven to help reduce heart-disease risk and hypertension, for example, and may cut the risk of some cancers as well. Experts are divided on whether or not the food can actually build up immunity—some say taking garlic supplements, drinking garlic tea with honey or adding cloves of garlic to hot stews or soups can reduce the length of a common cold. It’s worth a shot, right? Just be warned, though, that consuming too much garlic may be harmful for people with heart disease or

DID YOU KNOW? Vampires and werewolves are kept away by a clove of garlic hung from a window, according to Central European legend.

RESTAURANT REVIEW:

Yada Noodle House A new Thai restaurant has opened in Bergen County. I know, that’s hardly breaking news for our ethnically diverse thus culinary-rich area, but Yada Noodle House isn’t just another place to find curries and pad thai. In fact, the current menu (we’re told that it will change periodically) at this new Bergenfield eatery barely resembles the selections one would find at a typical sit-down Thai restaurant. And speaking of sit-down, their business might focus more on take-out than eat-in, as less than a handful of small tables occupy the cozy dining space. Either way, seeing Chef Yada herself in the kitchen and the staff enthusiastically describing dishes to customers offer a reminder that the food is what’s most important here.

The appetizer menu does include some familiar choices like summer rolls and bamboo-skewered chicken, but my friend and I instead started with moo yang, breaded grilled pork served with a spicy dipping sauce.

“We have plenty of extra heat if you want it,” our server/food guide said, gesturing to a side table topped with unmarked containers as well as a recognizeable bottle of Sriracha.

We passed on the offer and enjoyed the mouthwatering flavor of the marinated meat. Our second app, mee krob, balanced the savory flavor of the pork. This dish consists of tamarind-glazed fried noodles with fried egg and shrimp mixed in. As I fiddled with my chopsticks and dug in, I told my friend that I already decided this plate was going on my Instagram. Thankfully, I’m not that instant on my smartphone.

Yada’s entrees are primarily noodle soups—you won’t find wonton soup, fried rice or pad se ew. They’re similar to ramen and pho bowls, but, in my opinion, Thai flavors and spices are much more aromatic and exquisite. Case in point: kuey teow nure, my dining companion’s main course. Tender cuts of beef and rice noodles make this soup so visually appealing, but the depth of flavor—from the beef broth, lemongrass, sprouts, cilantro and other spices—make this bowl the cream of the crop. (It’s also dubbed “Yada’s favorite” on the menu.) A photo of this ultimately went up on my social media.

Though envious of my friend’s dish, I thoroughly enjoyed my choice: BERGENMAG.COM

In addition to the broth, the bowl was filled with rice noodles, cuts of chicken breast and two large chicken meatballs. The meat absorbed all the flavors of the broth, from lemongrass and sprouts to cilantro and scallion. The meatballs, which are also available separately on the appetizer menu, were filled with more lemongrass—enough to give them a hint of the flavor, not overwhelm the palate.

Yada Noodle House doesn’t have a dessert menu yet, but we were already pleasantly full at the end of the night. As much as we loved the food, we also grew fond of Yada and her small staff. Not only were they friendly and informative, they took pride in serving fresh food made from scratch. The best part: Everything is delicious.
