A SUMMER TO CELEBRATE JULY IS MAGIC in Morristown. The entire town comes alive on warm summer nights. Restaurant patios are overflowing, the farmers markets are bustling, and the Green is dotted with kids eating ice cream cones. This July also feels extra special as America goes all out to mark its 250th anniversary. In this issue, we’re celebrating Glenbrook Brewery, which brews beer that honors the town’s revolutionary roots and gives back to local causes. What started as an at-home passion project has
grown into a space where neighbors and community connect over a pint. We also talk to SNAP (Special Needs Athletic Programs), which offers kids with special needs exposure to sports, mentoring programs, and genuine friendships with their peers. SNAP’s work is a reminder that a community is strongest when everyone feels connected. Then there’s the Junior League of Morristown, which continues to make a noticeable impact on our community. The women’s group has changed considerably since it was founded 90 years ago, and the modern JLM is sharply focused on women’s growth and leadership training. Finally, since it wouldn’t be summer without ice cream and eating outdoors, we talk to Mo-Town favorite Beenie’s Ice Cream and get our resident wellness expert, Kate Cherichello Tente, to share some healthier options for your picnic basket. We’re thrilled to bring you these stories, which demonstrate the power of Morristown’s community. Thank you for reading, and for supporting the people and businesses that make Morristown such a wonderful place. Happy 250th America!

Good Beats
AND GOOD BEETS The Morristown Farmers Market is officially back, bringing everything from fresh vegetables to fresh tunes each Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Morristown Parking Authority Lot 10J at Spring and Morris Streets). Each week also brings a few pop-up vendors. Here’s what’s on the docket this month: July 5: Morristown’s Tim Darwin plays blues, indiefolk, and more. Jersey Organics (jerseyorganicsllc. com) brings its hot sauces, which are handmade right here in the Garden State, and Sembré (sembrechia.com) sells its layered chia puddings, available in flavors like Lemon Berry Love and Chocolate. July 12: Morristown High grad Ray Milici shares his love of jazz. Don’t miss Olive3’s (olive3.co) additive- and preservative-free olive oils. Sembré brings back its layered chia puddings.

Non-alcoholic beverage shop Point 5 Jersey has opened in Morristown at The Postmark’s former location (48 Washington St., point5jersey.com). “As nationwide alcohol sales decline, especially among younger people, we know there’s a growing desire for high-end adult beverages that aren’t sugary mocktails,” says co-owner Nicolette Siragusa. The shop will offer more than 300 highly curated non-alcoholic beverages, including hard-tofind or limited-edition beers, wines, adaptogenic drinks, and more.

On the Hunt
A GLASS ACT On July 12, Glassworks Crafting Studio (151 South St., umakeglass. com) offers a fused-glass house portrait workshop. Participants email the studio a photo of the house they want to use in the project, explains owner Sherri Schachter. The studio prints and sizes the photo, and when you arrive, you trace the image onto a piece of 8x10 glass. You lay pre-cut, skinny pieces of glass on top, creating the siding and roof, and then add grass, trees, flowers, and more with smaller pieces of glass. When you’re done, the studio fires the piece and it’s ready for pickup in a few weeks. “The workshop environment is really fun,” Schachter says. “Having the room filled with folks all making the same thing builds camaraderie and community.” Online registration required.
The Morris County Park Commission is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a scavenger hunt. For The Great Glass Hunt of Morris County, 50 glass medallions made by Morris County School of Glass have been hidden around the county, including at Fosterfield’s Historical Farm, Frelinghuysen Arboretum, and Lewis Morris Park. The medallions are in groups of two or three at each site, within 18-inches of trails, and (hint! hint!) usually not on the ground. All the medallions are outdoors, but might be tucked in gardens or park structures. Find one? Scan its QR code to let the Park Commission know you found it!

Tony and Andrea Franco
At Beenie’s, ice cream is more than just dessert. BY MY MO-TOWN STAFF
THERE ARE people who love ice cream, and then there’s Tony Franco. Franco, who owns Beenie’s Ice Cream with his wife, Andrea, admits he has probably spent more time than most thinking about the creamy, frozen treat. “Even in my early 20s, when I came home after a night out, I’d be thinking about how much I wanted ice cream,” he says. In 2017, he turned this passion into Beenie’s Ice Cream, named after his beloved late dog. A huge part of Beenie’s loyal following comes from an ice cream recipe that genuinely doesn’t exist anywhere else. Franco
describes Beenie’s one-of-a-kind ice cream as a combination of American ice cream’s higher butterfat and fun mix-ins (think: Oreos, candy pieces, and the like), gelato’s texture, and the high-quality ingredients used in small-batch craft ice cream. That last part is key. “We keep our ice cream as clean as possible,” Franco says. “We pride ourselves on attention to detail, focusing on simple, quality ingredients.” On any given day, Beenie’s offers 48 different flavors, which could range from jelly donut with sprinkles to mango sorbet. This number

includes 12 nut-free, 12 glutenfree, 16 miscellaneous, and eight dairy-free flavors, as well as three seasonal specials. These rotate on a fixed schedule and include timely offerings like Cherry Blossom in April, Pumpkin Cheesecake in September, and Peppermint Bark in December. This month, look for Blueberry Crisp, Orange, and dairy-free Piña Colada. “Our flavors have very loyal followings, so it’s sometimes hard to rotate them,” Franco says. “It’s kind of like when you go a concert and want the musician to play their greatest hits, but the musician also wants to play his new songs.” One of the seasonal flavors is always dairy-free, thanks to a suggestion from Kendra Arnold, owner of Feasty Vegan. “Our
customers have loved having dairy-free and vegan options,” Franco says. Allergen-wise, it’s important to note that Franco has a peanut and tree-nut allergy and makes the non-dairy flavors with oat milk or coconut milk. Beenie’s also makes custom flavors, including the popular one-batch wonders, which, as the name suggests, are get-itbefore-they’re-gone creations. These customer-named and -created flavors ($100) are sold in the shop for seven days—or until they’re gone. (Long-time Beenie’s fans might remember that Reese’s Withaspoon started as a one-batch wonder before earning a permanent spot on the menu.) For those who don’t want to share, it’s also possible to create flavors to bring home (from $80 per gallon). CUSTOM FLAVORS AND MORE Since opening in 2017, Beenie’s has doubled in size and added novelties like ice cream tacos and an oversized ice cream cookie sandwich called the Chompwich, made using freshly baked cookies from The Artist Baker. It also offers birthday parties and an ice cream cart that can travel to homes or businesses. Last year, Beenie’s began offering its twist on a wedding tradition. “Instead of eating your wedding cake from the freezer on your anniversary, couples can drop their cake off with us,” Franco says. “We’ll turn it into 18 pints of ice cream.” Even after all these years, Franco says he’s still passionate about ice cream. “Everything about Beenie’s comes from a place of love,” Franco says. “We take great pride in everything we’ve built.”
The inside of Beenie’s is just as fun and whimsical as its flavors.
Beenie’s Ice Cream is located at 38 Morris St. To find out more, including a full list of flavors and shop hours, visit beeniesicecream.com. JULY 2026 |

Roots and Records Inside the M&MT Library is an impressive center for historical research. BY MY MO-TOWN STAFF
How did you get started in historical research? My great-aunt compiled a sizable family history before the internet, so I have always been interested in listening to people talk about their families. I decided when I was in undergrad that I wanted to work in an archive or special collections library focusing on history-related matters. I’ve worked at the New Jersey Historical Society and the Charles F. Cummings New Jersey Information Center before coming to the Caroline Rose Foster North Jersey History & Genealogy Center in 2013.
INTERVIEW WITH
JAMES LEWIS, DIRECTOR OF THE CAROLINE ROSE FOSTER NORTH JERSEY HISTORY AND GENEALOGY CENTER
How did the Caroline Rose Foster North Jersey History and Genealogy Center get started? One of my predecessors, Barbara Hoskins, lived in the Washington Valley section of town and was friendly with Caroline Foster, also from Fosterfields Living Historical Farm. She left the library money in her will, which has allowed us to do so much, including having a humidityand temperature-controlled environment, electronically moving shelves, and a staff of six.
What are some of the most interesting objects in the collection? One of the most unusual things we have, although it’s not necessarily my favorite, is the Antoine Le Blanc death mask. Le Blanc was hanged on the Morristown Green in 1833 after being convicted of killing three people. After he was hanged, his body was delivered to a local doctor, who made a plaster death mask. We also have digitized two journalists’ accounts of the trial and execution. What are some of the older items in the collection? We have more than 2,000 maps, blueprints, and plans. Our oldest original map is circa 1790, and it’s of Morris County. It’s a wall map that’s hand-drawn, although we don’t know who drew it, but on it are towns, mills, forges, and mines in Morris County. We also have blueprints of the surveys Colonel Robert Erskine made for Washington. Any intriguing Morristown items? We have over 7,000 photographs by an insurance photographer, Frederick JULY 2026 |

who have lived in our town (or the township) for most of their life.
Fenton Curtis, who lived in Morristown and photographed the area from sometime in the 1880s to roughly 1940. We also have lots of atlases, including digitized Morris County atlases from 1868, 1887, and 1910. We have Sanborn Fire Insurance atlases of Morristown and parts of Morris County from 1918 and 1940. Whenever a new building was erected, the company would paste over the original building on the map, and the footprint of the new building would cover up what was there. There were lists of the updates being made, and the date the updates were named.
You also work to preserve records of life in Morristown today, correct? Yes, we work on a lot of different oral histories of people in Morristown. The library published a book about Irish Americans in Morristown called “Ordinary Days, Extraordinary Times,” and another about African Americans called “Setting Up Our Own City.” A lot of the interviews done by the author, Cheryl C. Turkington, are available as videos on our YouTube channel. We’re also working on oral histories about Morristown’s Latino, LGBTQ+, and Italian American communities. We’d love to speak to octogenarians
The library also has lots of resources for people researching their family trees. Could you talk about some of them? We have many books on how different races and ethnic groups can research their genealogy. We also have resources like ship passenger lists and microfilm directories of cities across the state and Manhattan. We also provide access to Ancestry, HeritageQuest Online, Fold3, and other databases, and are a FamilySearch affiliate. Any tips for people having trouble researching their family history? If you hit a roadblock, my advice is to take a break and try again. The databases are updated often, so if you step away from your research for a few weeks, you might find something new when you return. The Caroline Rose Foster North Jersey History & Genealogy Center is a department within the Morristown & Morris Township Public Library. Find out more at mmtlibrary.org.

on Tap At Glenbrook Brewery, giving back to Morristown is just as important as brewing beer.
BY CHRISTINE BOCKELMAN
Above: Darren Cregan, Heath Traver, and Conor Boucher in front of the barrels where Glenbrook’s 250th Anniversary Ale was aged.
IT ALL STARTED with a Secret Santa gift. “I got a beer kit, and I really started having fun with it,” says Heath Traver, head brewer and co-owner at Glenbrook Brewery. “I upgraded my equipment, won a few awards for brewing, and started thinking I might want to open a brewery.” Traver’s brother-in-law, Darren Cregan, was all in. “I thought it was a great idea, and the wheels started spinning right away,” says Cregan, who co-owns the brewery with Traver and is also its creative director. “We built our tagline, Revolutionary Beer, around the rich history of Morristown and Morris County,” he says. As they worked on the business plan, Traver’s beer started racking up accolades. His Jockey Hollow Pumpkin Ale won a silver medal in a local competition. “It has a lot of harvest-inspired spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. There’s some pumpkin in it, but that’s not what drives the flavor,” Traver says. Since then, Traver’s beers have won 17 additional awards.

history to life in a meaningful and celebratory way,” Cregan says. The beer, appropriately named 250 Anniversary Ale, is much more than a label slapped on a can. It has deep historical roots and was created in collaboration with Laird & Company, the nation’s oldest licensed distillery, which was founded in 1698 in Monmouth County. According to Laird & Company, George Washington liked its Applejack apple brandy so much, he asked them for the recipe. To create something worthy of the occasion, Glenbrook aged its Spruce Run Ale for almost a year in apple brandy barrels from Laird & Company. The resulting beer “has a flavor profile that is both unique and inviting,” Traver says. “It honors both the troops and the nation’s oldest distillery. We’re really happy with how it turned out.”

REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH Many of the brewery’s beers are a nod to Morristown’s history. There’s a Tempe Wick Farmhouse Sour, Ford Mansion Basement Barrel, and Continental American Amber Lager. Its Green Mountain Boys Spruce Run Ale is especially meaningful. “When the troops stayed at Jockey Hollow, they would clip the buds of spruce trees, add molasses and yeast, and make a simple mead,” Cregan says. “So I challenged Heath to come up with a recipe that has notes of pine—and he did.” About 18 months ago, Cregan and Traver realized the 250th Anniversary of America was coming up, and they wanted to do something to celebrate. “Morristown played a pivotal role in America’s fight for independence, and we felt a responsibility to bring that

Register at bewellihs.com/beer.
RAISING A GLASS FOR A CAUSE One of Glenbrook’s most popular beers is called Czech Your ID, a pilsner Traver describes as very clean, light, and crisp. But it’s more than just a beer. “There were two local bouncers, Darrell and JP, who passed away during the pandemic from different complications, and we wanted to find a way to support their families,” Cregan says. A portion of every can sold is given directly to the families. This is only one example in a long list of ways Glenbrook Brewery is giving back to Morristown. They’ve donated a portion of sales to or developed private label charity beers for a long list of nonprofit organizations, from pet rescues to the Colonial Cancer Foundation—a group of ex-MHS football players who award scholarships to kids affected by cancer—to the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Glenbrook even works hard to be environmentally friendly. They donate their post-brewing grains to Backer Farm in Mendham, which uses them to feed its cows. The brewery also recycles the water from the brewing process, using it to heat the space. “It’s all part of being a good neighbor,” Travers says. “It’s something that’s very
important to us.” A lot of the desire to give back stems from their love of Morristown. Cregan is a native, and Traver has lived in Morris Plains for 30 years. The house he lives in, on Glenbrook Road, is the childhood home of their wives and so historic it has a block out front for a stagecoach. “Darren grew up here and I’ve been here for a long time, so it’s really very important for us to be part of the community and to help out anywhere we can.” Conor Boucher, the general manager, also grew up in Morristown. “I think of Glenbrook as a community vessel,” he says. “We are here to support and to use this space to help out anyone we can.” The brewery is also an event space, holding paint-and-sips, knitting classes, and more. “Believe it or not, we host a lot of birthday parties for one-year-olds,” Cregan says. They also have hard seltzers and other drinks for people who don’t love craft beer. “We always have alternative beverages,” Traver says. Glenbrook doesn’t serve food, but guests are welcome to bring in their own.
As often as possible, they host events for local nonprofits, working with each organization to help them maximize fundraising. “We think these community events are so important because the strength of Morristown is dependent on its residents,” Boucher says. “It’s really important to us that we do our part to support this town and everyone who lives here.” That desire to help the community is really the beating heart of Glenbrook. “We obviously want to be a great brewery in town and serve great beer, but also, we are often in a position to help our community and that’s a big part of why we do what we do,” Boucher says. Glenbrook Brewery is located at 95 Morris St. Follow the team on Instagram @glenbrookbrewery or visit glenbrookbrewery.com for more information. JULY 2026 |

years. Back then her son, Charlee, who has autism, would attend the sessions and play basketball and other games with the nonprofit’s founders, Morristown brothers Matthew, Zachary, and Daniel Certner. “Charlee absolutely loved it,” she says. “He loved being around other kids and getting to socialize and play.” Socializing and sports is something not always available to special needs kids, Strasser says.
Recreation programs and school districts cannot meet every need, and special needs children are left without opportunities to socialize or play with others. Even though Charlee is now in his 20s, SNAP remains so important to Strasser that she took over the nonprofit two years ago. She currently serves as its president. Each student at SNAP is paired with a tween or teenage mentor,

TWICE EACH WEEK, stop by the Sussex Avenue School and you’ll find a group of about 30 kids bouncing basketballs or playing pickleball in the gym. But this is more than just kids having fun.

whom Strasser trains extensively. “We do a lot of empathy training,” she says. “I have the mentors go through different stations and do hands-on activities so they can feel what it’s like to have ADHD or dyslexia or autism. Once they feel it, it really drives their actions.” Even so, SNAP clinics do not always go smoothly. SNAP students can have trouble focusing or might have meltdowns, Strasser says, and mentors learn how to handle these situations. “Many of our kids have autism, so even though they could be great at dribbling a basketball, and maybe they can get it
in the hoop a little bit, the dynamics of learning the game and what you can and can’t do can be too difficult.” Instead of focusing on rules, SNAP emphasizes fun and building relationships. “These teenagers are just incredible human beings,” Strasser says. “Some days the students might not want to do anything but talk about dinosaurs or fairies, and these teenagers nod their heads and ask questions and make the students feel so incredibly special.” The benefits run both ways, says Colleen O’Kane, who has been a mentor since she was in sixth grade
and says her years with SNAP have changed her for the better. “I’ve grown in compassion, patience, kindness and understanding,” she says. “The students end up helping me perhaps even more than I’m helping them,” she says. Rising eighth grader Eleanor Kimball has been a SNAP mentor for two years. “My favorite thing about SNAP is the joy it brings to all involved,” she says. “I’ve learned so much about leadership, empathy, and how to handle challenging situations.” EMPATHY IN SCHOOLS In addition to running SNAP’s weekly sessions, Strasser also spends time in

Morristown classrooms, starting with third grade, teaching students about empathy. “My passion is educating people about disabilities, and the school district embraced it right away,” she says. She teaches kids not to judge a book by its cover. Typically, her lessons start with a photo of a blind person sitting in a wheelchair. She asks the kids what they would do if that person dropped a book. “All the kids say they would help the person,” she says. The next slide is of four or five “typical-looking kids,” including her son, Charlee. “I ask again—what would you do if one of them dropped a book?” she says. This time, she says, about half the kids say they would pick it up. “This is a great springboard to a conversation about how just because someone looks like things are OK on the outside, on the inside it might not be OK,” she says. “On the inside, there might be chaos in their brain.” It’s important, she says, for kids to understand that you don’t always know what’s going on in someone’s life. “Kids want to do the right thing, but they aren’t always sure what that is,” she says. “We talk a lot about encouraging words and how to tell if someone needs help.” Since taking over SNAP two years ago, Strasser has worked to expand the program.
She is offering more weekly sessions and is hoping to start a program for 18- to 21-year-olds, and college-aged mentors, in the next year. “I have kids who are aging out of SNAP,” she says. “I have a 19-year-old who still comes but he is paired with a much younger mentor. I want him to have a relationship with someone his own age, and also to do some more ageappropriate social activities.” Strasser funds all this through donations and grants. Last year, Caring Partners of Morris & Sussex awarded
her a grant, but more funds are needed to continue and grow the program. “My hope is SNAP will continue growing and giving back to families the way it has for mine,” says Jackie Magan. Her son Aiden is a student with SNAP and her son AJ is a middle school mentor. She has seen firsthand the impact SNAP has on families and the community. “Recreational programs are often not designed with children with disabilities in mind, and programs like SNAP provide opportunities, inclusion,
and experiences that many families may not otherwise have access to,” Magan says. One of her favorite things about SNAP, she says, is that it creates a sense of community. “The kids are not treated differently–they are celebrated for exactly who they are. The relationships, encouragement, and joy that come from the clinics go far beyond sports.” For more information about SNAP, visit www.snapclinicsnj.org.

A League of Their Own
i
Don’t let the name fool you. As it celebrates its 90th anniversary, the Junior League of Morristown is doing big things.
PHOTOGRAPHS BY TO COME
BY CHRISTINE BOCKELMAN
IF YOU STILL associate the Junior League with white gloves and pearl clutching, it’s time to take a second look. The Junior League of Morristown (JLM) has evolved quite a bit since it was founded in 1936. While community activism remains a cornerstone—the JLM is involved with nonprofits across Morristown and Morris County—today’s version of the women’s organization is also sharply focused on supporting the career goals and leadership aspirations of its members. In short, this is not your grandmother’s Junior League. “Things looked a bit different 90 years ago, when most of the members didn’t work outside of their home,” says Jamie Milano, the JLM President-Elect. “Now a lot of our members have full-time careers and families.”
24-27 MOR_JuniorLeague_0726_final.indd 25
Each chapter of the Junior League— there are about 300 around the world— operates with a slightly different focus, says Katherine Feoli, JLM President. “The Junior League of Morristown is a reflection of our members and their interests and strengths,” she says. “It’s also a reflection of the needs of the community.” For instance, one of their members is a licensed nutritionist who teaches kids healthy eating habits at Interfaith Food Pantry, one of JLM’s partner organizations. “We have a lot of members with really cool careers in many different fields, and we try to use this to our advantage,” Milano says. “We really think about how our members’ talents can best serve our community and help our partners.”

RISING TIDES LIFT ALL BOATS “One of our missions in Morristown is to advance women’s leadership through community impact,” says Megan Brain, the JLM Strategic Planning Vice President and Immediate Past President. JLM members attend regional and national conferences, learn from guest speakers at meetings, and participate in targeted training throughout the year. “We are very intentional about investing in our members’ growth,” Brain says. “We know that helping our members grow helps our community.” Milano says that as she’s grown as a leader within the Junior League, she has also grown as a leader at work. “I presented to about 100 people at work recently,” she says. “That’s something I would have found more daunting a few years ago. But I have had a lot of practice presenting and speaking to groups within the Junior League, and I’ve been able to transfer those skills to my career.”
THIS ONE’S FOR THE GIRLS A large part of the JLM’s current mission is addressing the unmet needs of teens and tweens in Morris County. “We found that this is one population that typically doesn’t have as many opportunities available to them,” Feoli says. “There was a gap that we thought we could help cover.” For the JLM, covering this gap means everything from ensuring teens and tweens have enough to eat to making sure young girls have access to period products. “Our research showed that there’s a lot of period poverty in our community, and no one talks about it,” Milano says. “One in five women in New Jersey can’t afford period products, and nationally one in four teens have to miss school because they don’t have access to products.” This year JLM collected almost 10,000 period products and distributed them throughout the community. Additionally, they used a grant to establish a period pantry, full of

products free to anyone who needs them, at Morristown High School. In April, members delivered a cart stocked with more than 5,100 items, including underwear, tampons, and pads. But the JLM touches many other corners of the community, too. They work with Cornerstone Family Programs & Morristown Neighborhood House to teach teens public speaking skills, and recently donated more than 680 pounds of food—7,400 pounds over the last 10 years—to Interfaith Food Pantry. In 2026, they were honored as volunteer group of the year for their work with ARCMorris. “We’re always looking for new partners in the community and for new ways to help,” Brain says.

BY THE NUMBERS As of May 2025, the JLM has given out 165 scholarships totaling almost $300,000. This spring, they awarded two to graduating high school seniors who excelled at volunteering, one to a woman over 35 who is returning to school after a break, and a grant to help a teen afford a post-secondary education program. They also award a huge number of grants to local organizations.
“We’re currently giving out $20,000 annually to different nonprofit organizations,” Feoli says. Some of the recipients include Roots & Wings, a Denville organization that supports teens aging out of foster care, and Children on the Green, a Morristown preschool. They fund all this in many ways, but their biggest fundraiser is the annual Lunch with the Authors, held every May. “We usually have
three authors come and speak about their writing process,” Brain says. “It’s a really lovely day.” Around 250 women attend the event, which also includes an auction. To date, it’s raised more than $60,000 for JLM scholarship programs. “We’re always evolving,” Feoli says. “As we celebrate our 90th year, we’re hoping to continue our work on a bigger scale. We’re very excited for the future.” JULY 2026 |

SHEET PAN CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES A simple, healthy, delicious—and highly transportable—main course you can make at home to help you hit all your macros. Ingredients • Peppers, zucchini, and any other vegetables on hand • Medium sweet potato • 1 lb. chicken breast • 3 Tbsp olive oil • ¼ cup Parmesan (to taste) • Spices of your choice Slice the veggies into bite-size pieces. Microwave the sweet potato for 3-4 minutes to soften and cut into ½-inch pieces. Cut chicken into ½-inch pieces. Mix it together and put it on a sheet pan in the oven at 400 degrees for 17-20 minutes. Simple, filling, and nutrient dense!
THE MONTH OF July brings firework shows, outdoor concerts, and a long list of other reasons to enjoy a picnic. For nutrient-dense bites that keep you feeling good, skip things like mayoladen pasta salads and processed charcuterie boards. Instead, consider reaching for healthy grab-and-go options from Morristown restaurants. Toastique (70 Speedwell Ave., toastique.com) has many healthy options, but the Tomato Burrata Toast is a standout. With herbed ricotta, pesto, and layers of tomatoes spread on thick, toasted Italian bread, it’s filling and nutritious. Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant packed with vitamins A and C, and can also help regulate blood pressure.
Asahi Sushi (65 Morris St., asahisushius.com) offers sushi platters sized to feed a small group of picnickers. Skip fried, tempura, or mayo-filled options, and opt for the California Roll or Rainbow Roll. These healthier rolls contain ingredients like avocado, seaweed, and cucumber that are packed with good-for-you vitamins and fiber to help you feel full. The Salad House (40 Market St., thesaladhouse.com) has chopped salads full of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Pro tip: Choose an olive-oil-based dressing on the side so you can customize how much ends up on your leafy greens. Its Big Macro Salad is high on my must-try list, as I can confidently say I have no notes on the ingredients list. Shaka Kitchen (62 South St., shakakitchen.com) is focused on offering nutrient-dense foods, so almost anything on the menu is a good choice. My picnic pick is the Shaka

Bowl, which is made with zucchini noodles, carrots, cucumber, brown rice, and a protein of your choice. It offers plenty of flavor and a healthy dose of fiber, which supports digestive health and blood sugar regulation. And don’t forget the snacks! Some of my healthy favorites include fresh New Jersey berries, popcorn made with olive oil, avocado tortilla chips with salsa, avocado mashed on healthy crackers or raw vegetables, or a plate of cheese from grass-fed cows served along with organic grapes.

SPINE CARE
for Kids
A Castle Connolly Top Doctor brings pediatric neurosurgical care to Morris County.
FOR FAMILIES managing a child’s spine or neurological condition, finding the right specialist can feel overwhelming. Between imaging, follow-up appointments, school schedules, work responsibilities, and uncertainty about treatment decisions, pediatric spine care often becomes a long-term journey for both the child and the family.

Dr. Bassani is a board-certified neurosurgeon with subspecialty board certification in pediatric neurosurgery. He specializes in pediatric spine care, with a clinical focus that includes
pediatric scoliosis, spinal deformities, Chiari malformations, tethered cord syndrome, and other complex neurological and spinal disorders. ALLEVIATING STRESS For parents, one of the most stressful parts of a pediatric spine diagnosis is understanding what the condition means and what may happen next. Some children need careful monitoring over time, while others may require more advanced treatment depending on their symptoms, imaging, growth, and overall condition.” “Pediatric spine conditions can involve years of monitoring and follow-up during important growth stages, which can be stressful for families trying to balance school,

LAST LOOK
AN EAGLE’S EYE VIEW TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPH BY ED AUSSEM NOT LONG AGO, I caught wind of something remarkable: a bald eagle—possibly even a pair—had taken up residence at Speedwell Lake. For most people, that kind of sighting conjures images of Alaska’s rugged coastline or the vast shorelines of the Great Lakes, not a suburban New Jersey park. I had to see it for myself. I set out to find the eagle and photograph it. What followed was a series of morning and evening pilgrimages to Speedwell Lake, eyes scanning the tree line, camera at the ready. And then—there he was. Perched with quiet authority among the branches, surveying his territory as if Morristown had always been his kingdom, which, perhaps, it has. This image I captured is a favorite. There’s something deeply satisfying about the way he sits—still, composed, utterly indifferent to the world passing below. Majestic is the only word that fits. I plan to keep returning, hoping to capture him in flight, hunting, or simply owning the sky above the lake. The action shots are coming. I can feel it. I’ve called Morristown home for 35 years, and photography has been my way of seeing it freshly— noticing the details and moments that pass by in a blur during everyday life. A bald eagle perched in a New Jersey park is exactly the kind of surprise this city keeps offering, if you’re willing to look up.
