After dining at a restaurant, it can be fun to
stretch out the meal with dessert at another
location. And if you’re eating at the ANI
RAMEN HOUSE in Summit, you won’t have to
go far: An outpost of LUIGI’S ICE CREAM, the
rolled and scooped ice cream purveyor based
in Red Bank, is now open inside the eatery itself. This is the second time
Ani Ramen House has offered the savory and sweet combo under one roof;
its Jersey City opened a Luigi’s Ice Cream stand in October.

GRAHAM NASH has con-
SEPTEMBER
tributed so many songs to
the soundtrack of the
Baby Boomer generation

albums, Songs for Beginners and Wild Tales,
from start to finish. Nash is a two-time Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame inductee — both as a
member of the Hollies and supergroup

as well as a two-time inductee into the
Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and a Grammy
Award winner. Tickets $89-$109; check
online for special VIP package options;

BACK TO SCHOOL 2019 MILLBURN & SHORT HILLS MAGAZINE
It would be enough to hear an evening of
“Dear Mr. Gable (You Made Me Love You),”
“Everybody Sing,” “Over the Rainbow” and
other songs popularized by Judy Garland. But
in this new musical staged at PAPER MILL
PLAYHOUSE from Sept. 26-Oct. 27, the audi-
ence is treated to a compelling narrative, too:
The story of how 5-year-old Frances Gumm
evolved into the star beloved by millions. None
other than Garland’s daughter, Liza Minnelli,
has praised the show, saying “My mother said that her biography is in her
music, and now a talented creative team is using that music to tell the story of
her early years and her extraordinary rise to fame.” Ticket prices begin at $34

KIKA STRETCH STUDIOS OPENS
A SUMMIT LOCATION
Stretching is key to preventing injuries from
overuse of the muscles, but it’s also important
after a day spent seated at a computer. Former
actress and dancer HAKIKA WISE, owner of
KIKA STRETCH STUDIOS, knows the value of
gentle stretching to loosen up tight muscles;
she also believes that it fires up the nervous
system, leading to greater productivity. The
stretch sessions conducted by Kika Method therapists have been described as
an alternative to yoga, and a cross between physical therapy and massage. The
Summit studio, which opened in July, joins other North Jersey locations in
Montclair, Morristown, Westfield, Short Hills and Englewood. Sessions of
25-60 minutes, as well as in-home treatments, may be booked and purchased
online; a 45-minute intro offer costs $70. • 447 Springfield Ave., Suite S8,
