winter
By KRISY BOLTON-PAREDES
The inconsolable wind howls across the
landscape with little barrier to break its
sound. Trees that look as if they touch
the sky are waxing and waning, bending
to the will of the wind in this involuntary
dance theyve been called to.
The Earth is tidying up, for all things
in nature have reason.
Its vessel, the tree, looks out at us
through its hallowed eyes and stands
tall, cementing its roots, claiming its
ground for centuries to come. Light
marks in its flesh depict the scars
from all natural battles won and lost.
Branches reaching out in a duplicitous
fashion grow without prompting as if
the tall thin structure hopes to someday
10 11
touch the grey and unforgiving winter
sky, like a child reaching for its mother.
Walking through the woods renders
a crunching and popping sound only
the woods and I would heara sound
of fallen branches mixed with remnants
of pale leaves dusted with snow.
I am alone in the woods. The woods
are alone with me. Every direction
in which I look provides the same
perspective the deeper I go.
I came upon a fallen tree that has
accepted its fate in the vast woods. Its
roots now hope to touch the sky but
they never will. The rule of nature has
repurposed this majestic vessel to now
serve as a bridge across a slight divot

in the ground. I am grateful for its
sacrifice as I gently tread on it, hopping
off to get to the other side.
I walk deeper. I see a small group of
deer and they cautiously look at me,
eventually sprinting off. Nature is calling
to them, too. That we have in common.
The wind follows me and directs my
journey further with each step forward
removing, urging me to move away from
where I had come. I leave memories
which do not occupy a geographic
location. They swirl around me tiny, a fury
much like the winter wind. Unforgiving
and unforgettable. There is no measure of
time here. Only the gradually changing
color of the cold sky.
There is no measure
of time here. Only the
gradually changing
color of the cold sky.
Krisy Bolton-Paredes
I turn back taking a different path.
The journey forward is different than
the journey back. I look to the sky and
see the moon in its full glory. The stars
break through the dark. I stop there and
follow the most important directions
that were once told to me: Look up.
I do just that with my hand stretched
open towards the sky, my fingers
mimicking the fluid branches with their
outstretched tree tops also reaching
towards the stars and swaying to the
will of the wind and the moon.
I pull my hand back and move on,
with my back towards the winter woods.
Having unburdened what little would
leave me, I walk on. | r

AFTER THE PARTY

MAY BE THE MENZINGERS
BEST RECORD YET

The Menzingers have just released

After the Party, and the album again
demonstrates that this Philly-based
band is ready for broader national
exposure, while still embracing its core
Pennsylvania-punk sound.
Band members Tom May (guitar/
vocals), Joe Godino (drums), and Eric
Keen (bass) of Bob and the Sagets joined
fellow Scranton punker Greg Barnett
(guitar/vocals) of Kos Mos to create the
Menzingers in the early 2000s.
Its a small town, but its not that
small, and theres a thriving music
scene there, said May of the bands
Scranton roots.
A demo tape distributed in 2006 put
them on the musical map, and led to
the prophetically-titled A Lesson in
the Abuse of Information Technology
under the Go-Kart Records label.
We recorded that one in New York
City before we were old enough to
drink, recalls May. We spent the whole
time trying to get one of the engineers
to buy us 40s.

14 15
 NATIONAL MUSIC | By C H A R L I E S A H N E R
We keep calling it
the quintessential
bar jukebox
record.
The band released the vinyl EP
Hold on Dodge in 2009 via Red Scare
Industries, and an acoustic version
of the unreleased track, Kentucky
Gentleman, was made into a classic,
inspired video thats still popular online.
We recorded Kentucky Gentleman
in the basement of an apartment in South
Philly where a whole lot of us lived in one
space with a lot of guests dropping in all
the time, May remembers.
The boys went on to tour with
Anti-Flag in 2010, and that year also
saw the video and single I was born,
and the Menzingers second album,
Chamberlain Waits.
Touring with Pittsburgh punkers
Anti-Flag showed us what it was like
to be on the road, and perform at that
level, observed May.
Their next album, 2012s On the
Impossible Past, scored big with fans
and critics, including the single
Nice Things.
16 17
In 2013, the band collaborated with
The Bouncing Souls on an EP, and the
two groups have continued to cover
one anothers songs. The Menzingers
2014 album Rented World featured
the hit In Remission, with Barnetts
raw vocals complementing the
bands signature polished-but-punky
progressions and distinctive riffs.
With their just-released After
the Party on Epitaph records, The
Menzingers have shown theyre still in
the gameevolving their sound, while
keeping it wrapped around a raucous
core of punk, and musically weaving in
their signature melodic elements and
catchy, distinctive riffs.
Telling Lies, the albums opening
track is fast paced and fist pumping,
then Thick as Thieves veers toward
80s-inspired anthem rock. The catchy
and melodic Lookers is a standout,
as is the super-hooky Charlies Army.
Also on the album, Boy Blue is
RADIUS | ISSUE 035 | FEBMAR 2017
pure punk, toned town and melodious,
with sweet riffs, and Bad Catholics
combines social commentary with the
bands characteristic power hook. And
the title cut, After the Party, is pure
Menzingers, taken up a notch.
Its all a solid bit of songwriting,
and gone lyrically is some of the
20-something angst, although the
shattered illusions of ones impending
thirties have apparently arrived, along
with a deepening understanding.
Different songs on After the Party
resonate with people at different times
in their life, and well keep doing that as
we all get older together, explained May.
Its definitely a new phase for us
because we spent so much time working
on it, said May of the new release. We
keep calling it the quintessential bar
jukebox record. Theres a strong hook in
each song, and each one hits a different
meaning for different people.
Instrumentally, Menzingers fans will
like what they hear, as the band slides
between traditional punk influences
and rock anthems in what sounds like
clearer, higher-quality production.
We kind of abandoned palm muting
on the guitars, and we used to do that
a lot, May observed. Now, the musics
more open sounding, vibrant, and the
harmonies ring out and carry through.
The group is currently touring
around the world to promote After the
Party, having started out in Australia,
before coming back to Philadelphia the
rest of the U.S., and then on to Europe.
Pretty good for some Scranton boys
who call Philadelphia home, and for
whom the whole world now seems
a stage. Not a bad place to be
after the party. | r

Epitaph Records on Apple Music,
iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify,

BIG VISIONS
IN A LITTLE TOWN
Miracolo Mens Studio in Doylestown,
Pa., is a modern interpretation of the
traditional barbershop, where stylist,
artist and entrepreneur Michael
Gugliardo is evolving mens haircuts
and grooming to the next level.
Blending old techniques with new
practices, Miracolo offers clients
not only an outstanding service, but
also an inviting environment and
the opportunity to create a more
individualized, natural look.
Taking the lessons of style icon
John Sahag, Gugliardo stays ahead of
the competition by anticipating trends
before they arrive. The cutting-edge
stylists work with clients to customize
a look that is unique and tailored to
their personal needs and style.
One of the keys to his success is to
give the clients what they want before
they know they want it. The stylists have

revitalized an old technique of Sahags
called dry hair cutting, which sculpts
the hair to the natural shape of the head.
I didnt get into this industry just to
be a hairdresser, I got into this industry
to be the best, and I want everyone
around me to be the best, as well, says
Gugliardo. My biggest inspiration is
in seeing the young stylists Im training
grow and become top of the industry.
Gugliardo is combining his
experience and vision for the business
to build a brand that is distinctive.
By offering an experience extending
beyond a quality cut and well-
appointed studio, Gugliardo hopes
clients will leave ready for their next
visit. Gugliardo knows that to be the
best means leading by example.
I want the business to be a training
centerfor stylists to come for the
highest level of training, says Gugliardo.

Michael Gugliardo
The mens barbershop is next door
to the salon in a single room, and
features a wood floor and low-hung
ceiling reminiscent of an artists studio.
While the dcor is direct and to
the point, the open space and sleek
furniture make for a warm atmosphere
to sit and converse, and the place
oozes warmth and congeniality.
The salon itself resides in a historic
Victorian house, and the open sprawling
porch invites clients to step inside.
Various rooms have been converted into
a Blow Dry Bar and a She Boutique on
the second floor.
I want the community to know that
the service they are receiving is, bar
none, the best, said Gugliardo.
Customer satisfaction is the
foundation of any successful business,
and Miracolo studio continues to draw
a larger and larger crowd of tourists
and locals alike. | r

DIY Networks Stone
House Revival

Bucks County native Stephen

Turbyfill was raised in the family
business of home remodeling by
his grandfather, C.W. Schrenk.
From the age of 13, Turbyfill gained
his greatest work experience of the
life as a laborer turned carpenter on
the rough framing crew building
new homes for his grandfathers
company. This was the basic building
block of skill sets that Steven needed
to eventually begin his own home
remodeling company at the age
of 26. In 2000, Stephen became
the founder and owner of Freedom
General Contracting, Inc.

24 25
 A CLOSER LOOK | By K E L S I E J O H N S T O N
Freedom General Contracting is
a turnkey operation, with Turbyfill
and his highly-qualified crew members
performing much of the design work
themselves. For larger jobs where an
architect, interior designer, electrician,
or plumber is needed, Freedom
utilizes nearby companies and local
trade businesses whenever possible.
From start to finish, the construction
process is driven by the home owners
remodeling dreams and aligned
with their budget, as their fantasy
home begins developing right before
their eyes.
In 2015, DIY Network Stone House
Revival producers contacted Turbyfill
to sign on as their home remodeling
contractor. He and his crew have filmed
15 episodes for the series with host and
good friend Jeff Devlin.

Stone House Revival host Jeff Devlin
interacts with Turbyfill and his crew
while filming the renovation process
on old farm houses in Bucks County
that were once constructed using
stones and fallen pieces of wood
randomly scattered about local fields.
Working on houses that are 200 years
old is the ultimate challenge because
there is nothing that should be expected,
and the unexpected should be expected,
observed Turbyfill.
Each half-hour episode follows
Turbyfill and his team step by step as
they go full-tilt at solving the remodeling
challenge at hand. Throughout, Devlin
and Turbyfill banter about ideas and
strategies for tackling the task, and the

A typical work day is like a fire drill,

Generally, preparation for the show
begins the night before shooting, and
Turbyfill often finds himself working
on two projects at once during
filming periods.
It is a short amount of time to do

Debbie Crow
Gallery at Washington Crossing
Showcases Bucks County Treasures
Canal Frame-Crafts Gallery, a Washington
Crossing, Pa., frame shop and art gallery
established in 1990, welcomes visitors
captivated by Bucks County art. What
began as a family craft supply business
has gathered a loyal following of local
artists and a flock of tourists interested
in learning about the regions rich
history of oil-on-canvas impressionism.
Gallery owner Debbie Crow has
made a point to procure the finest
regional art to display in her gallery,
while also emphasizing the importance
of an atmosphere that encourages the
most unacquainted to ask questions
about the art.
I like people to feel comfortable
here, explained Crow. There is
a stigma behind some galleries
at least traditionally people have
felt uncomfortable if they are not
gallery goers.
30 31
Her mission to display superior
art in a space that is instructive and
inviting can be traced back to her days
in the music education department
of the West Windsor-Plainsboro
Regional School District.
Its a learning place. I guess thats
the teacher in me.
One of the keys to the gallerys
success has been integrating into the
community: partnering with Crossing
Vineyards and Winery in the Bucks
County Wine Trail Arts Festival,
supporting local artists in the Relative
Perceptions exhibition featuring multi-
generational artists, and staying attuned
to the demands of a growing clientele.
People can come in the shop
knowing they will find quality art,
observed Crow. They can find what
theyre looking for, and know that
their questions will be answered.
RADIUS | ISSUE 035 | FEBMAR 2017
While the walls of the gallery are
studded with some of the finest artwork
Bucks County has to offer, the frame shop
has served as the bedrock of the business,
helping the gallery to build prestige in the
region. Crow considers herself an artist
in her own right, cultivating an expertise
in the art of framing. Her knowledge and
experience in frame work has led her to
develop many close relationships with
artists who have offered their paintings
to be hung in the studio.
Framing is my art form because
I put the whole presentation together,
said Crow.
Crows interest in framing, founded
in a desire to preserve works of art in
their original condition, pairs well with
the esthetic sensibility of emerging and
established fine artists alike who seek
to capture a moment in brushstrokes
and shades of color.
I might do framing for an artist,
and then eventually say, Hey would
you like to hang a piece or two?
Debbie Crow
Her vision for the future includes
expanding the number of original
paintings in her collection and continuing
to represent the many talented artists
who call Bucks County home. And
because she also enjoys the challenge
of choosing materials and displays
that complement the artwork and help
bring it to life, providing expert framing
services will also keep playing a key
role in the gallerys success. | r

FAIRY TALES COME TO LIFE IN
DOYLESTOWN ARTISTS WORK
For Alexis Fish, art is not always black
and whitealthough looking at her
current collection of work, it may
appear that way.
Its rare that I use color, and if I do
sometimes, its the smallest amount,
explained Fish.
She says its not necessarily that she
doesnt like color, but more that color
seems a challenge to work with, and it
takes her longer to get pieces exactly
the way she wants them to look.
Graphite feeds my OCD and
my need for everything to be
precise and clean, said Fish of her
preferred medium.
Her pencil-drawn collection currently
ranges from surrealistic renditions of
fairylike women and animal silhouettes
to fan art portraits of characters from
Harry Potter and Stranger Things.
All of them are rendered in black and

white, sometimes with the slightest
hint of color thats so subtle its hard
to notice.
The 24-year-old artist resides in
Doylestown with her husband, Ilya,
and draws a lot of her inspiration from
fairytales, both Disney versions and
the original folk tales like those written
by the Brothers Grimm. Fish is also
inspired by contemporary fantasies and
other works of fiction in books and film.
In personal appearance, Fish
resembles the fictional characters with
whom she surrounds herself. In fact, her
grandmother, the first of many artistic
mentors, used to call her Snow White
for her dark hair and fair skin when
she was young.
When I was old enough to hold
a pencil and a pen, my grandmother
would let me draw with her, Fish
recalled.
 COVER ARTIST | By L I Z J E N E I RADIUS | ISSUE 035 | FEBMAR 2017
Much like her grandmother, who she
says drew animals and sometimes geisha
girls as a hobby, Fish loves to combine
portraits, flowers and animals to create
her own surrealistic works of art.
Usually my compositions are not
something that would normally appear
in nature, said Fish, who doesnt draw
realistic portraits or still lifes. She likes
adding an element of fantasy to much
of her work.
Although Fish loved art from a young
age, spending extracurricular activities
in the art room and enrolling in
after-school art programs at Lafayette
College while still in high school in
New Jersey, she admits she needed a
nudge from her husband to peruse her
dreams of being an artist even further.
My husband for a while was like,
You need to do something with it. You
can keep drawing pictures all you want,
but if you dont do anything with them,
whats the point? said Fish.
With his help, she enrolled in
a mentorship program with an
established artist that gave her the
push she needed to set goals for herself.
In 2015, she got her website up and
running, and started selling prints.
A goal would be Around the same time, Fish signed
up to be a vendor at the Doylestown

prints. Nervous as he prepared for her

This is especially exciting for her

and sees herself going down that
path eventually.
A goal would be doing tattoos at
some point, because thats something
Ive always been interested in,
says Fish. She plans to start another
tattoo apprenticeship sometime in
the near future.
Fish works a daytime job in Doylestown,
but most nights and weekends you can
find her in her apartment, listening
to books on tape or playing a Disney
movie shes seen hundreds of times
in the background while she works.
She considers her art her second full-
time job. Fish is currently listening to
a Harry Potter book while she works
on some commissioned pieces, which
she loves doing for people.
The people contacting me are
obviously not artists themselves, so
once they give me ideas, its always
been really rewarding to get their
reaction after Ive finished, observed
Fish. Especially with things that are
really near and dear to them.
Eventually Fish hopes to be working
full time as an artist. Whether thats
being a tattoo artist, continuing to do
commissioned art, or selling her own
original compositions, she hopes to
eventually support herself solely by
her artwork.
And who knows, maybe someday she
will be someone elses artistic mentor,
if she isnt already. | r

Nestled in the heart of Doylestown in
what was once a 19th-century English
THE PENNSYLVANIA CENTER FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: estate, the Pennsylvania Center for
Photography (PCP) is a renowned matrix
THE ART AND SCIENCE OF for photographers of all levels, talents,
persuasions and experiences. Founded
PHOTOGRAPHY REALIZED in 2014 by Henry and Nancy Rowan,
the PCP represents the fulfillment of
a lifelong quest to both examine and
promote the art and science of the
photographic experience. This expansive
purview fosters an intense level of artistic
freedom that is always appreciated,
but seldom seen.
181 East Court Street
Constructed in 1887 for attorney
J. Monroe Shellenburger and his family,
this elegant, spacious mansion was sold
in 1891 and again in the early 1900s
when it became a home for the deaf.
Currently owned by the Salem Church,
it is rumored to be a somewhat spooky
place very late at night when strange,
unearthly sounds beckon while the rest
of the town sleeps. A circular driveway
leads to the imposing stone edifice
with its winding portico of romantic
balustrades and arches that whisper
of another era, long faded into time
and space. The weather-beaten door
marks entry into a warm, wooden
IN PHOTOGRAPHY interior accentuated by a colorful
THERE IS A REALITY fireplace embellished with Mercer tile.
SO SUBTLE THAT IT
BECOMES MORE REAL
THAN REALITY. The mission of the Pennsylvania
ALFRED STEIGLITZ Center for Photography
For Henry and Nancy Rowan, there
are several forces driving their love
and devotion. According to Henry,
40 41
one concerns the desire to regenerate
Bucks County as the artistic hub it once
was, and the other is to become a
center where photography can develop
as more than just an art form. These
two goals peacefully coalesce into
a bond of friendship and communion
with the Doylestown community.
Shows, events and workshops
for photographers
The PCP offers two major shows per
year, and six or seven different events
featuring key speakers that attract
distinguished photographers locally,
state and nation-wide. They include
both print and digital shows, the latter
of which are unique. Work streams
live in a slide show on a huge screen
where photographers can display
their entries without the added cost
of shipment or framing. This has
been very encouraging to a growing
number of international entrants,
who now have the opportunity,
regardless of how far away they are
situated geographically, to both
present their work and discuss
photography with others who share
their passion. The PCP also provides
diverse workshops for photographers
at all levels of expertise.
The center offers a wide range
of programs designed for beginners
and advanced photographers alike,
according to Rowan. It should be noted
that we also offer workshops specially
designed for teens.
Workshops run the gamut from
Foundations of Photography to Studio
Lighting for Fashion to various classes
on Photoshop and Lightroom.
 A CLOSER LOOK | By M A R J O R I E D O R F M A N
The works of Henry Rowan and
Non-Existent Imagery
While the lush gardens and rolling
emerald meadows of Bucks County
are often fodder for the lens of this
national, award-winning, Bucks Country
photographer, Henrys photographic
style is elusive, magical and tricky
to describe, involving the delicate
coalition of movement, color and light.
This multi-talented photographic artist
is well known both for his sports imagery
and his nature niche, but perhaps his
mastery of human portraiture is his most
outstanding talent. Whether black and
white or imbued with color, his portraits
are both mysterious and telling to the
eye that can learn to see beyond the
naked image. His work transforms the
42 43
RADIUS
portrait into an edgy, captivating work
of art in which the character of the
subject shines above, beyond and
through the image.
For Henry Rowan, the concept of
non-existent imagery came from the
recognition that the camera can never
record what he sees.
It is not a moment in time, but
rather a feeling in space that conveys
the essence of the subject, Rowan
continued. For too long, photographers
have been expected to merely record
the world around them, while painters
have the freedom to interpret theirs.
I would like to see that change.
Instead of capturing and freezing a
specific instant as a photojournalist might,
his camera records the quintessence of
that which the human eye does not see.

Featured exhibits
Concepts for open exhibitions are chosen
based on general themes that we believe
will be attractive to both the photographic
community and the general viewing
public, explained Rowan. They are
juried by recognized experts, and are very
competitive. We are planning on adding
non-juried exhibitions that will reflect
an exceptional level of skill and vision.
Public hours are regular at this
remarkable center during times of
exhibits, and it is best to call if visiting
on other occasions. The Rowans live
nearby and are always willing to
accommodate visitors. The Americana
exhibit is slated for three weekends in
early spring from March 24 through
April 7, and admission is free. | r

STOCKTON MARKET:
Cosmopolitan Fare
for the Country
Bon Vivant
The town of Stockton, New Jersey,
snuggles against the banks of the
Delaware River just north of Lambertville
and New Hope, and consists of a few
churches, a country school and some
lovely houses. Anyone driving through
too fast could miss it completely. But
while this tiny town is not completely
overflowing with as many galleries,
antique stores and restaurants as its
larger neighbors, it has a jewel of its
own: Stockton Market. Its not what many
may think of as a farmers market, but it
outshines any competitor.
Housed on the ground floor of
a building on picturesque Bridge Street,
the market originally consisted of
a small caf and art gallery started by
Dawn McBeth. When Cheryl Olsten
and her husband Steve Grabowski
purchased the building as a commercial
real estate investment, Olsten saw the
46 47
possibilities of expanding the market.
They had remodeled the interior to
create a brick and wood rustic look that
reinforced the theme of country goods
and charm.
Upon entering the market, a
visitor is immediately struck by the
cornucopia of foods and smells that
floods the senses.
The stands are all separate, and the
individual vendors are very invested
in what they do, Olsten said. If they
dont have a certified kitchen, we have
one here that they can use. By law, we
must have a commercial health certified
kitchen on our premises.
To the right, Blue Moon Acres offers its
unique selection of organic greens and
produce. Much of their food is produced
on a 63-acre farm in Pennington, N.J. and
in Buckingham, Pa. Natalie Rockwell is
the retail market manager who oversees

a fine sampling of products at their stand
in Stockton Market.
To the left is Zach & Zoes Sweet
Bee Farm stand run by Summer
Johnson. The Johnson family moved
to a Kingwood, N.J., farm and started
raising bees to create their honey
business. While her husband still
commutes to his job in New York
City, Johnson home schools their
two children, tends to the bees, makes
raw honey and is an artist to boot.
A large sampling of various flavors
of raw honey is on display, and Johnson
happily takes the time to tell visitors
about each one.
I just love being here and talking to
people, she smiles.

ingredients. Sciascia, also an artist,
said that he was a graphic designer in
New York City, but after 9/11, he felt
in would be inappropriate to buy gifts
for his clients, so he got inspired to do
something more personal and pulled
out my mothers chocolate recipes to
make gifts for them instead.
The chocolates were such a hit
that clients started requesting
batches to use as gifts, and Sciascia
Confections was born. Yearly trips
to Europe, specifically to Paris, have
been the inspiration behind many
of the incredible candies and, most
especially, the wide array of macaroons.
Everything Sciascia sells is made in
small batches and is gluten-free.
Other vendors include Mannys all

In addition to the culinary delights,
the market now has music offered up
by local musicians on Friday nights once
a month. The caf vendors stay open to
offer prepared foods for the audience.

FRESHNESS IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS AT

NEW HOPE TANDOORI GRILL

FRESH, AUTHENTIC, MADE-FROM-SCRATCH

INDIAN FOOD IS WHAT SETS NEW HOPE TANDOORI GRILL
APART FROM THE COMPETITION.

Co-founders Austin Slater and Karim restaurant tries to offer something

Elsharabasi started the restaurant in
New Hope, Pa., in November 2015 with
a Mediterranean focus, then switched
to Indian fare in September 2016.
Theyve kept falafel, shawarma
and gyro sandwiches on the menu
because they remain favorites among
their original customers, and are
also lunchtime hits with fellow
business people.
Its something quickthey can pop
in, grab a sandwich, and theyre out the
door in five minutes, said Slater. Some
people come in for a gyro twice a week,
every week.
But while classic Indian cuisine is
now their mainstay, Slater said that the
off the beaten path.
We try to do some southern
and southwestern Indian dishes,
he explained.
Tandoori Grill appetizers like Bhell
Puri Chaat (a crispy, soft, sweet and
spicy salad) and Dahi Puri Chaat
(puffy puri shells stuffed with potatoes
and topped with a sweet chutney)
are Mumbai street foodyoull see
little shops and carts selling them
everywhere in the city, Slater said.
Another sought-after appetizer that
also makes a great lunch in itself is the
Arugula Salad, with organic arugula,
tomatoes, beets, red onion goat cheese
and a house vinaigrette.

chilies, onions, chick peas, and fresh

cilantro in a tomato curry, as is the
Kadai Paneer, a stir-fry made with
paneer cheese, Kashmiri red chilies
and freshly ground spices.
Chicken dishes are among the most
requested by non-vegetarians, including
tandooris, tikka kebabs and curries.
Entrees featuring lamb are also sought
after by customers, like perennial
favorite Lamb Vindaloo, a zippy
selection made with fresh garlic, ginger
and red chili sauce, with a touch of
vinegar and morsels of potato. A milder
selection is the classic creamy Lamb

Shrimp Biryani is another popular
entre, prepared with basmati rice,
onion and tomato sauce, yogurt and
to order. Austin Slater

We make everything here from
scratch to order, he added. We start
with ghee, and a little bit of oil to raise
the burning temperature, and with
some garlic and ginger, youre building
layers of flavor.
Slater also says that the spiciness
of each dish is adjusted to each
diners personal preference, without
sacrificing flavor.
The spices are all going to be the
same, and the flavors are all going to
be there, he said. The thing is, some
people have a higher tolerance for heat.
Many entrees are centered around
the restaurants tandoori oven, a metal-
framed, clay-lined device that cooks
food at around 700 degrees Fahrenheit,
sealing in juices and flavor.
The meat comes out so moist,
explained Slater. You can cut our
chicken kebabs with a spoon.
While kebabs and other meat dishes
are enormously popular, around
40% of the restaurants customers are
vegetarian, Slater said. Vegans will
also find themselves with lots of
choices at New Hope Tandoori Grill,
like an impromptu Tofu Tikka Masala.
Probably the most popular vegetarian
selection is the Dal Makhani, made
with red kidney beans and black lentils
cooked in a butter sauce.
It takes two to three days to make,
said Slater. Its very labor intensive,
but the lentils get this amazing texture.
The Chana Masala is another
vegetarian favorite, with its green
spices. Biryanis featuring mixed
vegetables, chicken, lamb, egg and
paneer are available as well.
Among the desserts is the exotic
Golab Jamon, a homemade soft cheese
dough in sugar and honey. And the
freshly baked basmati Rice Pudding is
topped with cinnamon and served with
ice cream. Kulftis (mango or pistachio)
and Lassis (mango, rose or sweet
Punjabi) round out the more traditional
after-dinner offerings.
The restaurant also serves an all-
you-can-eat lunch buffet from Friday
to Sunday, including naan and dessert.
And many locals have yet to discover
that New Hope Tandoori Grill delivers
within a five-mile radius, including
Buckingham and Lambertville.
Ive fallen in love with New Hope,
and I just want this place to become
part of New Hope, said Slater.
And I want this restaurant to bring
people to New Hope, and become
an integral part of the community.
Whats next for New Hope
Tandoori Grill?
In the spring, we plan to remodel the
patio, Slater said. Were right on South
Main Street, and we want things to look
nice for the community.
And in New Hope, thats the kind
of thinking the community rewards. | r
