USING THEIR SKULLS:
MHS CREW TURNS 15
It’s hard to believe that the MONTCLAIR
HIGH SCHOOL
CREW TEAM didn’t
exist 16 years ago.
Team members have
NOV. 18
won scores of med-
6:30 P.M.
als over the past 15
seasons, both on the
state and national
level; a few of its alums have even gone on
to compete in international competitions.
As 2017 Girls and Boys State Champions,
the team and its boosters have a lot to
celebrate — even if it weren’t their 15th
anniversary. A 15th Anniversary Gala is being
held at the Montclair Art Museum from
6:30-11 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. The event
will include a “cocktail party-style” dinner
with drinks, food stations and an auction.
Adults only; tickets are $100 per person, $75
for alumni rowers. 3 South Mountain Ave.,

HOLIDAY 2017 MONTCLAIR MAGAZINE
Montclair
BRAZILIAN
BRUNCH
BEGINS AT
SAMBA
SAMBA, your reliable
source of home-style
Brazilian food in
Montclair, is now open
from noon to 4 p.m.
on Sundays for brunch.
Although the meal isn’t
as popular in Brazil as it
is in America, executive
chef and owner Ilson
Goncalves has found
spicy ways to revamp American breakfast staples like bacon and omelets. “I’ve added classic
Brazilian touches to familiar foods to make them even more delicious and healthy,” he says.
The menu includes fresh orange juice for BYOB mimosas, an omelet with Brazilian sausage and
collards, Yuca home fries dusted with rosemary, mint, thyme and oregano, and a panini with
mozzarella and chicken on Goncalve’s trademark yuca bread. Goncalves, who recently traveled
to Morocco to improve his cooking techniques, just released The Samba Montclair Cookbook:
Authentic Home-Style Brazilian Recipes and Reminiscences, so fans can bring the flavors of
Brazil to their own tables. 7 Park St., (973) 744-6764, sambamontclair.com
