SEVEN TRIBESMEN BREWERY
OPENING IN WAYNE
A new brewery is opening in Wayne. According to its
website, the owners of SEVEN TRIBESMEN BREWERY
are “Hungarian-American childhood friends who share
a passion for craft beer.”
Their Hungarian roots have
inspired the theme of the
brewery, named for the seven
nomadic tribes of Hungary
that forged alliances with
one another. The website
says that the leaders of these
tribes were “under a blood
oath: cutting their arms and
drinking from a chalice con-
taining their combined blood.”
No one will be forced to drink goblets of blood at
Seven Tribesmen — instead, the owners invite guests to
come to the brewery to enjoy a few “beer oaths.” Imre
Varga, the marketing manager for Seven Tribesmen,
says the beers offered will be eclectic and change sea-
sonally. The brewery is currently under construction in
the space formerly occupied by The Woodworker gal-
lery. The tasting room will be located in the old show-
room and the brewing equipment will occupy the for-
mer workshop. • Seven Tribesmen will be located
at 1151 State Route 23, Wayne; 7tribesmen.com.
NOW OFFICIALLY LOCATED
ON THE COLOMBIA
CORRIDOR
The Paterson street that Correita el Paisa is on was
recently renamed COLOMBIA CORRIDOR due to its
many Colombian shops, restaurants and residents. A
red and yellow overhang sits above the bare-bones shop,
which has rave reviews online. Stop by or order delivery
for dishes such as fried red snapper ($17), a quarter
chicken served with salad, fries and rice ($5.50)
and three milk flan ($3). • 356 21st Ave., Paterson;
862-239-9391
MUSIC TO EAT SUSHI BY
Because there’s nothing like a great play list to enhance a deli-
cious meal, The Record/Northjersey.com’s food writer Rebecca
King has put together a list of lists. In it, she cites SUSHI LOUNGE
in Totowa as having the best musical backdrop of electronic beats
and club music. “It doesn’t matter if it’s noon on a Tuesday or 10
p.m. on a Friday, Sushi Lounge in Totowa will be cranking club-
worthy music throughout the sleek, stylish restaurant,” she writes.
“Those who love EDM, high-energy R&B, high-riffing pop prin-
cesses and mumble-core rappers will feel right at home at Sushi
Lounge. Songs by Major Lazer, Viceroy and Naxxos will carry you
through cups of sake and chopsticks full of sashimi and sushi.”

MASTER GARDENERS GROW THEIR OWN
There’s a new location in Wayne for growing fresh herbs and vegetables: The
grounds of PREAKNESS VALLEY GOLF COURSE. A 480-square-foot high tunnel —
farmer-speak for a type of greenhouse — was recently put up at the county-owned
links so instructors at the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Passaic County can train
aspiring master gardeners enrolled in its agriculture program. Those who finish
the program become certified volunteers for countywide horticulture projects.
Cecilia Díaz, a program associate for the county co-op, says the new demo site will
give participants a real-world experience for the first time. The wheelchair-accessible
greenhouse, constructed by county parks employees, has 72 plants, including basil,
bell peppers, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes and scallions. It also features a worm-
composting bin, and a pollinator garden has been built outside one of its plastic walls.
