Editor’ sNote
In this issue, we bring you our fourth-annual Readers’ Choice Awards. We interviewed longtime residents as well new business owners and included our readers’ favorite places to eat, drink, shop, exercise, walk their dogs, grab free Wi-Fi and read abook.
Our town is changing. Many stores are thriving. Others are shuttering their doors. Some new businesses have long lines and wait lists: If you’ ve ever tried to get into aweekend class at Poe Punch or stopped for lunch at Squirrel & The Bee on aSaturday, you’ ve seen the crowds. Venerable businesses, like the Millburn Deli, Basilico and Charlie Brown’ s, continue to thrive. And some longstanding stores, like Babyland, have gone out of business altogether and will be missed, especially by those of us who shopped there as kids and loved to watch the salespeople spin ribbon around the wrapped gifts into colorful curls.
As in every issue, we also bring you storiesabout people in and around Millburn who make life here interesting. We profiled Broadway and TV star, NorbertLeo Butz, now starring in Netflix’ s Bloodline. Wesat down with Investor Bancorp chief exec Kevin Cummings and found out what he likes to read and how he stays fit, and chatted with Lynda Wachsteter, who uses her blend of Southern charm and wit to raise money for the Jewish Service for the Developmentally Disabled. We interviewed the owners and head chef of Restaurant Serenade, now celebrating 20 years in Chatham, and take alook at thethe chic town houserenovated by almost-empty-nestersHaya Taitel and Steve Becker. Wealso have agreat service piece about how to finally( and successfully!) clean your house for spring.
We’ re still wearing boots as this issue goes to print, but spring is coming, and the daffodils and forsythiawill be blooming before you know it. If you have news to share for our May issue, please email us at Millburn @ Northjersey. com. ■
