New generation at the market

Since 1927, local family-owned Sautter’s Market has served generations of Toledo families. This past spring, Sautter’s announced the next generation of the Sautter family to join the team and lead the business. David Sautter has begun overseeing operations at the Sylvania store with his father, Jim. David previously worked in real estate in Chicago and is glad to be back home. “I’ve always kind of missed it,” said David. “I like good food, I like good wine, and I enjoy serving people. This is what I like to do. It’s in my blood.”

Impact in advocacy

MLiving’s recently-retired editor, Pat Nowak, is serving our community on the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Lucas County. Early last month, the board celebrated seven individuals who have gone above and beyond, impacting more than 31,000 people in the mental health and addiction system. One of those recipients, Nowak, received the Advocate of the Year Award. Other award recipients include: Bill Geha (Alcohol and Other Drug Professional of the Year Award), Melissa Myer (Mental Health Professional of the Year Award), Natalie Zerucha (Consumer Involvement of the Year Award), Lt. Tressa S. Johnson (Crisis Intervention Training Officer of the Year Award), John L. Edwards Sr. (Diversity and Inclusion Award for Leadership) and Richard Arnold (Advocate Hall of Fame).

In the 1920s, B.C. Bowen Co. (a percursor to the present day Welles Bowen Realty Company) transformed an apple and pear orchard into Toledo’s Old Orchard neighborhood. Today, over 1,200 households comprise Old Orchard, an area of less than a square mile, roughly bordered by Bancroft St., Secor Rd., Central Ave. and Douglas Rd. Full of brick, English Tudor style homes, English street names and gorgeous gardens, Old Orchard is an active, historic and tight knit community. See the neighborhood’s beauty during the Old Orchard Garden Tour, a self-guided walking tour of 11 beautiful gardens in the neighborhood, showcasing the area’s architectural and botanical beauty.

Wheeler Farms’ owner lives out his post-retirement dream

By Erin Holden Located in Whitehouse, Wheeler Farms is an idyllic place, one enjoyable during every season. A perfect venue for a barn-style wedding, the Farm has a very impressive corn maze in the fall, a Christmas tree farm in the winter and a butterfly house open during the spring and summer.

“My wife and I liked the idea of growing Christmas trees and the positive impact farms in general have on their communities,” explains Duke Wheeler. Interaction with people is what he enjoys most about his work, and customers feel the same way, describing Wheeler as genuine, knowledgeable and friendly.

During the holiday season, visitors can enjoy a wagon ride and hot chocolate while buying their Christmas tree.

June 2018

With ponies roaming in the pastures, visitors savor the experience. Since retiring, Wheeler can spend even more time at the Farm. “I was a physical therapist for close to 40 years,” he said. “I retired from therapy in 2015, and now my primary focus is Wheeler Farms.”

Born and raised in Toledo, Wheeler is the second oldest of ten children. He and his wife met in high school and are celebrating 42 years of marriage this month. After 40 years of working in physical therapy, Wheeler enjoys spending time outdoors with his family (three children and five grandchildren) and giving back with programs like Trees for the Troops. Learn more about the programs and events at Wheeler Farms at wheelerfarms.com.

419-697-4100. lhshealth.com/orchard-villa Our Family Caring for Yours

Legacy Health Services is family owned and operated, with the family’s third generation now involved in the management team. Over fifty years ago with one facility on Chester Avenue in Cleveland, Alex and Ester Daskal worked tirelessly in dietary, laundry and housekeeping.

In the 1960s, Mr. Daskal partnered with several family members to purchase what is today known as Broadview Multi-Care Center. Over the next decade, the small company expanded by adding two facilities, one of which is now Pleasantview Care Center.

Bruce Daskal, current CEO, joined the family business in the 1970s. His vision was to grow the company beyond the Parma area. Franklin Plaza was acquired around that time. In the 1980s, Pleasant Lake Villa was the first facility built by Legacy Health Services from the ground up.

Shop where it matters One of the best ways to bolster our area economy is to keep your money close to home. Supporting local businesses and organizations allows you to enjoy higher quality products and services, and boost the community’s economy.

admissions@foundationpark.com foundationpark.com

Legacy built and opened Orchard Villa in 1996, Legacy Place Twinsburg in 1998 and Parkside Villa in 2001, as well as continuing to expand and renovate facilities within the company.

Wickliffe Country Place was added in 2007.

In an effort to continue to meet the growing needs of the community, affiliate companies providing hospice, home health care and nurse practitioner services were also created. Most recently, Mapleview Country Villa was built in Chardon, Ohio in 2015.

Currently, Legacy Health Services employs over 2,500 individuals and manages over 1,800 nursing home and assisted living beds.

Our Family Caring for Yours is as true today as it was when Mr. Daskal started his first facility over fifty years ago. The number of lives touched by Legacy Health Services continues to grow as the company provides the highest quality of life to those it serves.

Middle East Market began with a passion for helping families find quality Mediterranean groceries in the Toledo area. We offer people a “taste of home” by providing ethnic groceries to those who are familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine.

And we offer people who aren’t as familiar with a cultural and culinary experience. Sidon Lebanese Grille & Bakery opened two years ago to create a space where families could come in, relax and enjoy delicious authentic Lebanese cuisine.

Toledo is a wonderful city filled with opportunities for entrepreneurs. We are so appreciative of the Toledo community for their continued support over the last 13 years. There has long been a high demand for Mediterranean cuisine here and continues to grow as people become more health-conscious.

Seeing the sense of relief from a client’s family as we provide the in-home care their loved one needs, allowing the family to fulfill their loved one’s wish to stay in their own home. That is the most rewarding feeling ever.

East of Kelley’s Island, and about 50 miles from Toledo, lies, what could be, the oldest shipwreck in Lake Erie.

189 Years Later Excavating a sunken schooner In October, 1829, two bodies washed ashore in Lorain County, about 90 miles east of Toledo. Confirmed as the owners of the Lake Serpent which had gone missing a week prior, sometime after leaving Put-in-Bay.

Legends of the Lake

In July, 2015 veteran Lake Erie diver and director of the Cleveland Underwater Explorers (CLUE), Tom Kowalczyk, found evidence of the Lake Serpent wreck while searching east of Kelley’s Island.

Discovering Lake Erie’s Nautical History

By Sam Koros

Lurking in the murky depths of the Great Lakes are mysterious, sunken artifacts. As long as ships have sailed the lakes, a trove of shipwrecks and maritime disasters have collected on the lake bottoms.

A new Lake Erie shipwreck discovery in July, 2015, by the Cleveland Underwater Explorers (CLUE) spurred Toledo’s National Museum of the Great Lakes to raise funding to excavate and investigate the unique find.

The discovery attracted national news headlines because, let’s face it, a shipwreck is intriguing.

Identifying the find

While the name of the ship which was discovered has not been confirmed, information which has been recovered suggests it could be the Lake Serpent. “The shipwreck we found we believe to be the Lake Serpent but it has not been positively identified yet,” said Carrie Sowden, Director of Archaeology for the National Museum of the Great Lakes. As Snowden is Archaeologist of Record for the Lake Serpent Project, she has reviewed a number of pieces of evidence which could confirm the identity of the ship.

“The vessel (appears to have) a figurehead of a serpent on the bow, (but it) is currently buried,” Sowden explained, adding that they are seeking permits from the State of Ohio and the United States Army Corps of Engineers to allow the figurehead to be uncovered, which will help to confirm the identity of the ship.

An 1820’s perspective

If confirmed as the Lake Serpent, the shipwreck will be the oldest discovered in Lake Erie, providing insight into early Great Lakes merchant shipping. “At this point the historical significance is its age,” explained Sowden.

“It’s a time period that we know very little about in terms of ship building and how they were sailing,” she said.

This (could) be the first major contribution to the archaeological record of ships in 1820s Lake Erie, when the Great Lakes region was mostly undeveloped.” According to records, Lake Serpent was hauling stone when it sank, but it was also likely used to haul a wide variety of raw materials.

Erie because it provides a focus for his dives, “visibility isn’t real great out there so you gotta have something to (focus on).”

During a routine CLUE sonar exploration of Lake Erie, they happened upon an unknown signal. “We did [only] one dive the year we found it, just to confirm what it was,” Kowalczk stated, a sunken ship and not some other piece of aquatic debris.

The wreck rests about 40 feet below the surface in extremely murky water.

Though it initially seemed too small to be a ship — “Newer shipwrecks are usually 100 feet or more,” Kowalczk advised — the smaller size of the ship provided some indication of its age.

Following the CLUEs

Tom Kowalczk spotted the wreck while scuba diving.

Tom Kowalczk of Cleveland Underwater Explorers confirmed the wreck while scuba diving in the Lake. “I’m just an ordinary retired guy who has been scuba diving for a long time in Lake Erie,” he explained, adding that he enjoys seeking shipwrecks in Lake

With most details surrounding 1820’s Great Lakes ship building are still quite vague, Kowalczk’s passion for the past became a helpful asset. “I love history and the challenge of going through the documents and putting things together,” Kowalczk said.

“In this area of Lake Erie, settlements along the Lake in the 1820s was still in the very early stages. Cleveland only had about a 1000 people. There were no roads at all on the land, all travel was over water.” To serve developing regional trade, a fleet of ships were required, and they all had to be registered. According to Kowalczk, “All the vessels plying the Lake waters were enrolled with the federal government, so we have a pretty good record of the vessels that were built.”

Based on details gleaned from the wreck, he was able to narrow it down

www.mlivingnews.com

While the exact location has not been revealed, the discovery provides the possibility that the oldest shipwreck discovered in Lake Erie lies about 50 miles from Toledo. The wreck, to be excavated this summer, is one of nearly 1,000 vessels currently hidden beneath the surface of Lake Erie.

This summer, the Toledo based National Museum of the Great Lakes will lead the underwater excavation of the site, scheduled for late July and August, with a presentation of findings planned for early November.

In 2000, The National Museum of the Great Lakes, formerly the Great Lakes Historical Society, added underwater archaeological projects to their mission, including searching for and identifying shipwrecks. For the Lake Serpent project, the Museum and their partner CLUE will rely on outside support and donations to explore these wrecks. $13,000 in funding is required for the project’s ten days of underwater surveying and excavation, to be assisted by over 350 underwater archaeology volunteers. Previously, the Museum completed two other major state approved projects— the recovery of the bell of the Cortland and the excavation of the steam engine of the Anthony Wayne.

to just a handful of ships. Lake Serpent seems to be the most likely possibility. Using some obscure accounts of the vessel’s final days, Kowalczk confirmed that the ship stopped in Put-In-Bay on its journey from Cleveland. Days records indicate it left Putin-Bay, bodies were discovered afloat and locals deduced that the ship must sunk in a storm.

Continuing efforts

Additional excavation around the vessel will provide a better sense of what the ship looks like. According to

Sowden, they will build an underwater dredge pump and then carefully move sediment away from the wreck. The expedition is currently planned for this summer and is expected to take about 10 days. Kowalczk relates about additional Erie explorations, “There are older ones than this, but they either haven’t been found or there is nothing left to be found.” Shipwrecks can become obscured or destroyed by the elements, “The silt builds up and they are buried, “adding, “There are about 200 more that have been sunk in Lake Erie that haven’t been located yet.”

Archaeological projects, like the discovery of the Lake Serpent, are critical to understanding the roots of our regional history. Kowalczk emphasized, “How Toledo got to be Toledo has to do with Great Lakes navigation and shipping.” And of course, the inherent curiosity and intrigue of unearthing a lost remnant of the past. Sowden reiterates, “for some reason, people go nuts for shipwrecks. They love it.”

Remain Active With Gardening

Tips for a growing hobby

By Rhianna Miller Gardening is a low impact, stress reducing activity that can improve your overall health and wellbeing.

Here are some quick and simple gardening tasks and the benefits of this healthful activity:

Pick the right time

The middle of a hot July day is not the time to be pulling weeds! Early mornings or early evenings are much better for more strenuous gardening tasks. In the middle of the day, enjoy the comfort of a swinging hammock or relaxing on a comfortable patio set with an umbrella and a cool drink.

Pick easy plants

Just like people, some plants are high maintenance. Roses, for example, require a lot of tending. Pass those by

at the garden center and instead focus on plants and shrubs that will be easy to maintain, such as perennials— they come back every year, saving the effort of replanting. “Our newest addition, Sunfinity Sunflower, doesn’t get huge and blooms all summer long.

You don’t have to deadhead it like other sunflowers,” explains Ian Hoen of Hoen’s Garden Center. So this beautiful bloom may be a good pick, too.

Pick manageable growing areas

If you’re not up to creating raised beds and widespread planting, consider alternatives like container gardening. “If you want to garden and not get down on your knees, container and pot gardening is best,” says Hoen.

Multiple large pots and urns can be

filled with herbs, flowers and grasses.

They can even be placed in front of a trellis or next to an arbor to allow the climbers to flourish. Container access is easier than ground level growing. Sit on a stool, if you prefer, rather than getting on your knees.

Another great option is a vertical garden. All you need is a series of rods to create an area where you can attach hanging planters in multiple rows, from the ground up. Fill your planters with veggies, plants, herbs and flowers, for an instant privacy wall and more space for your hammock!

This provides lovely green foliage that grows to up to five feet wide, taking up a good chunk of space, leaving you with fewer plants to manage.

Pick the right tools

The right equiptment will make your gardening activities more enjoyable for the long term. n Long handled tools will allow you to manage your weeding and hoeing without kneeling. n Add a water wand to your hose to create a long handle to reach higher levels, like hanging plants. An easy-tosqueeze trigger handle is a must! n A garden cart will make it easier to transport soil or plants from the car around the garden. n Knee pads for those times when you absolutely must get down to ground level. n Power tools for the bigger tasks.

A manual mower is a nice idea but can be very tiresome after a while. n For any tool that cuts, make sure that it is sharp! Dull pruning shears or garden scissors will make it much more difficult to get the job done. n Don’t forget your hat, water and sunscreen. Even if it’s overcast out, dehydration and sunstroke are real causes for concern, at any age. Above all, enjoy your time in the garden!

Ornamental grasses—While not

a bloom, these are excellent to have in raised garden beds or even containers, creating a flowy, textured backdrop to other plants.

Campsis climbing vines—This is the kind of no fuss plant that the least green of green thumbs can grow. Set it up near a trellis to point it in the right direction. It will do the rest.

If you’re set on roses, you’re in luck: in hardiness zones 5-10 like us, you can grow Flower Carpet Groundcover roses, which are resistant to disease and easy to prune. All you need to get started is good quality soil and some mulch—requires little effort on your part but provides significant benefits to your garden.

Tax-Savings Ideas

Help With Long-Term Care Expenses

By Chris Orestis One huge expense that awaits a large percentage of Americans near the end of their lives is long-term care.

Coming up with the money to pay for a nursing home, an assisted living facility, or other such care isn’t always easy. What many seniors and their families don’t realize, though, is that there are tax deductions they can take advantage of that would give them extra money to help with long-term care expenses. Tax-advantaged ways are available to exit out of a no longer needed life insurance policy, which could help solve some these financial challenges.

Some of those potential tax deductions or strategies for seniors include:

Costs of senior living and long-term care. If you’re diagnosed as chronically ill, some long-term care expenses can be tax deductible. Those expenses need to be more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income, though.

So, what constitutes “chronically ill”?

You must be diagnosed and under a certified care plan issued by a doctor or nurse that addresses your inability to perform two or more activities of daily living, or you need to be suffering from cognitive impairments. Family members may also be entitled to tax deductions if they are financially contributing to the costs of care for a loved one and qualify as a dependent.

Long-term care insurance premiums. Owners of long-term

care insurance policies can take tax deductions on premiums they pay June 2018

for on qualified plans as well as other reimbursed medical expenses such as Medicare premiums—as long as the premiums are greater than 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income.

Estate tax changes and life insurance. Many large life insur-

ance policies were purchased over the years as a wealth and legacy-preservation strategy to offset the impact of estate taxes, Orestis says. Prior to tax reform, the first $5,490,000 of an estate’s value was exempt from the estate tax. Now that has been nearly doubled to $10 million. That means life insurance policies currently in force to protect estates valued below the new level are no longer necessary, presenting a chance for the policy owner to sell the policy and recoup some or all of their premium payments under more advantageous tax conditions.

An accountant or financial professional can provide more details about whether you’re eligible to take advantage of any of these deductions or strategies.

The important thing to remember is that if you’re facing long-term care or other retirement expenses that seem to be more than you can handle, you may have options you hadn’t thought about. Knowing the tax rules and how they apply to your personal situation can make a huge difference.

Walker is with you every step of the way.

Looking Back Turning Back Time Changes I’d make

By Tom Cole Cher’s classic tune from 1989, “If I Could Turn Back Time,” written by Diane Warren, is a song that always makes me wonder….

Einstein’s theory of relativity posited that some highly specialized form of time travel could be possible. H. G. Wells intrigued readers with his unique fiction novella “The Time Machine,” a story that still resonates with people today although it was published in 1895.

The concept of going back in time to change historical events is thought provoking. I took the idea and personalized it.

What if I could go back in time and change three historical events?

First, I would go back to the Texas Book Depository, November 22, 1963, and tackle Lee Harvey Oswald to the ground and disarm him.

I would stop him from assassinating a dynamic young president who was in the process of lifting America and Americans to new heights and new aspirations.

Second, I would go back to April 10, 1912, to tell Captain Smith of the Titanic that there were binoculars locked in a cabinet in the crow’s nest, and that seaman David Blair forgot to pass the keys along when he decided to hire

onto another ship. These binoculars could have saved the Titanic, allowing the crew to spot the iceberg earlier and directing the ship to avoid it.

Third, I would go back into time on December 9, 1980, and warn John Lennon not to leave the Dakota that night, to stop his assassination. We can only “IMAGINE” the incredible music John still had inside him.

Doing it again

On a personal side, going back in time is very easy. I would eagerly go back and spend more time talking to my mom. She was an incredibly bright and kind person.

I would also meet my wife sooner—she is truly remarkable.

Then, I would go back to my senior year in high school and not have two dates to the prom— that did not work out so well.

No one can stop time, but if we could go back and change things in history and in our personal lives, it would sure be interesting.

NASA flight director:

Mission Control relies on maturity, passion

by Cynthia Nowak

Space: the final frontier. Questing humanity wouldn’t have reached this far into space without the collective wisdom of its elders.

That’s one of the takeaways from, The International Space Station: Operating an Outpost in the New Frontier, a free, downloadable NASA book.

Toledo ties to the ISS

According to University of Toledo graduate, Dr. Robert Dempsey, NASA flight director and lead author of the 400-page book, while the science is amazing, and space itself is dazzling, this is a book about teamwork — specifically, the behind-the-scenes, often invisible effort of the mission control team behind the ISS (International Space Station).

“Growing up, watching the Voyager and the Apollo missions, I was always blown away by the technology,” Dempsey says. “When I came to work for NASA, I learned that it’s the teamwork, the men and women fretting over all the details, that makes missions successful.”

At NASA, teamwork dovetails with career longevity. Mission control means long hours, hard work and the sometimes awesome responsibility of holding astronauts’ lives in your hands. That reality, Dempsey says, tends to weed out “those who just think it’s kind of cool to do work like this, but don’t have the drive and passion to see it through.”

The love of space

A 20-year veteran of the space station program, Dempsey notes that his NASA years mirror those of many contemporaries: “We’re still with the agency we love. We can’t imagine doing anything else. Sometimes we’re amazed that NASA pays us to do what we do!”

The ISS inspires people, as Dempsey sees during his many speaking engageJune 2018

ments: “I love talking about the ISS and the public never runs out of questions about it.”

Built to conduct cutting-edge research, the ISS on any given day is performing hundreds of experiments, but years pass between inspiration and public application—the same approval process required for a new medical drug or treatment, Dempsey says, adding “Most people don’t get to see the exciting stuff leading into it.”

Dempsey and his co-writers spent four years distilling that excitement for the book, but he notes that more stories remain, many of them about how program veterans are crucial in solving new challenges.

Future according to Dempsey

It could be said that NASA, itself, is in its maturity, having seen triumphs and tragedies, enough to acquire a collective wisdom. Dempsey concurs, adding that the space agency’s “new space” partnerships with private corporations are building on that wisdom. Just one example is Dempsey’s own professional focus: partnering with U.S. private companies to build transport vehicles for the ISS since the space shuttle program ended.

“NASA provides seed money, but the private companies have to put financial skin in the game as well,” he explains.

Ultimately, the aim is to have private companies performing more of the ISS daily operations, leaving NASA free to focus on deeper space activities like missions to the moon and Mars. Dempsey adds, “It’s a very exciting time. This is scientific progress that also benefits American industry.” And mission controllers will be right in the middle of it.

Health Controlling Symptoms of GERD Restrictive diet usually not necessary

DEAR MAYO CLINIC, I’m 62 years old and am having difficulty keeping healthy weight on due to GERD and reflux. I am really confused about what foods and beverages I should avoid, and what foods will not make my reflux act up. What do you recommend mature adults who have this condition avoid, and what healthy food are best for my situation?

In the past, doctors recommended quite a few dietary restrictions for people who had gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. But more recent recommendations advise against such restrictive diets. In addition, maintaining a healthy weight is important because being overweight has been shown to increase reflux.

Reflux redux

Acid reflux happens when stomach acid flows back up into your esophagus — the tube that connects your throat to your stomach. Occasional acid reflux is very common.

When acid reflux leads to frequent symptoms or complications, then it’s called GERD. The most common symptom of GERD is frequent heartburn. Other signs and symptoms may include regurgitation of food or sour liquid, difficulty swallowing, coughing and chest pain. In some patients, symptoms may be worse while lying down at night.

Changes in diet

Over the years, a long list of foods has been associated with an increase in GERD symptoms. They include caffeine, carbonated beverages, chocolate, spicy foods, highly acidic foods (such as oranges and tomatoes), and foods with high fat content. Doctors used to suggest that you completely take all of these foods out of your diet to help decrease GERD. But such a restrictive diet was hard for many people to follow. Research since then has also shown that taking away all these foods simply isn’t necessary to control GERD. Instead, an individual approach works best. To help find the foods that make your symptoms worse, keep track

of what you eat, as well as the severity of your symptoms. Then avoid the foods and beverages that seem to trigger your symptoms.

Try to include a variety of healthy foods in your diet each day: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products and lean protein. If you notice an increase in symptoms when you add something new, try to steer clear of that food and see if it makes a difference. As much as possible, focus on including healthy choices in your diet.

If you continue to have difficulty controlling your symptoms, talk with your doctor. He or she may recommend additional GERD treatment. A consultation with a dietitian may also be helpful to find foods that work well for your situation and allow you to maintain a healthy weight.

Dini ng out Big City Taste

Manhattan’s revitalizes Uptown’s Adams Street

By Jeff McGinnis Manhattan’s Pub and Cheer on Adams Street in Uptown opened in December, 2002 and recently celebrated its 15th anniversary.

Toledo native, Zach Lahey, the restaurant’s owner and general manager explains, “For almost ten years, it was a major struggle to keep the doors open, to really find our place in the micro-neighborhood (Uptown) that we’re in.”

“We realized that unless we dedicated a significant amount of energy to raising up the rest of the neighborhood around us, it was going to be much more difficult to succeed as a sole-destination restaurant,” Lahey said.

Now, though, after years of effort and creating partnerships— both with the City and nearby businesses along the Adams Street corridor— Manhattan’s has firmly established itself as a fixture of a revitalized area.

“We really succeeded in making Uptown Adams Street a real destination for different types of entertainment and dining options,” Lahey said.

The history Manhattan’s name, decor and theme came from Lahey’s own life experience. Training in musical theater, Zach moved to New York City in 2000 to make it on Broadway.

While in New York, he worked at a variety of restaurants, soaking in the eclectic atmosphere and menus of big city dining.

When he moved back to Toledo, with his New York roommate, Mike Petrillo, they had the idea of opening their own restaurant— an idea which grew as the pair were introduced to the circa 1910 building at 1516 Adams.

“The first moment that we walked through it was like the building was opening its arms wide to us, saying, ‘Look. Look at all this great brick, look at all these wood floors, and the simple historic feel of interior of the building.’”

The fare Manhattan’s took on the melting pot feel of its namesake city.

“We didn’t want to limit ourselves to one style,” Lahey said. “We wanted to be open. Sometimes I might want to bring in Cornish Hen and do something special with that. Or a local farmer will have some really nice lettuce offerings that he’s really proud of growing, so we’ll design a dish around that.”

As a result, Manhattan’s most popular fare these days includes eclectic choices such as Chicken Marsala, Poutine, hamburgers— made with fresh-sourced Ohio beef— and a full selection of spirits, as well as new offerings designed to entice visitors to take in the Adams Street neighborhood.

“We recently started putting out what we call ‘Slammies’— small, handheld sandwiches for five bucks, that you can grab a drink, grab a hand sandwich and take them with you while you explore the neighborhood.”

The decor Manhattan’s decor isn’t forced, or artificial. Absent are kitschy wall decorations and mismatched pictures that adorn too many restaurants these days. Manhattan’s decor fits one of two themes— either honoring the

26

restaurant’s spiritual inspiration New York City, or honoring the heritage of its building and neighborhood.

“As we go through the years, I want what we put up on the walls to be part of the experience, part of the history of the building,” Lahey said.

“We wanted the actual history of the building to be what goes up on the wall.”

As a result, Manhattan’s feels more genuine— the wooden floors and brick walls are the real deal. The establishment’s diverse clientele also adds to its atmosphere.

“The melting pot of New York is reflected here,” Lahey said.

The Bottom Line

For those looking for a springboard to a beautiful summer evening spent exploring the new things downtown— simply excellent dining experience— it’s hard to top Manhattan’s.

Lahey concludes, “We’re a great launchpad to enjoy the rest of Adams Street, and the rest of downtown. And if you haven’t been downtown lately, you’re really missing out.”

Zach’s Simple S a Deconstructedlad: Tuna Nicoise “We start with an 8 oz steak of Ahi steak,” Lahey sa tuna— nice, beau id. “And we don’ tiful red t ov erseason, pretty and light pepper basic salt on both sides. Se ar both sides, le center nice and aving that red. And we plac e that on top of tisan greens, ac a bed of arcompanied by in -house roasted be sourced sugar-sn ets, locallyap peas, when in season, locally so cherry tomatoes. .. pitted kalamat urced a olives. And w with a side of ho e serve that use-made balsam ic vinaigrette, an dish is covered w d the whole ith a nice sprink ling of fried cape rs.”
