Much Ado About DO BY BETSY ABRAHAM
babraham@antonmediagroup.com
S
ome rules are meant to be broken and chief among those is the oft-ignored advisement to not eat raw cookie dough. And while people have been defying that warning for years, it’s hard to swallow all your fears about raw ingredients to make the deliciously indulgent pleasure a completely guiltfree one. But all that’s changed thanks to DO, a New York City shop that sells raw, edible cookie dough. Since opening at the end of January, the Greenwich Village store has had down-the-block lines, with dessert-dazed guests waiting anywhere from two to four hours for a cookie dough treat and has received nationwide praise from celebrities, the media and foodies. The creative mind behind the concept is Kristen Tomlan, a St. Louis, MO, native who grew up with a passion for baking. The idea originated on a girls’ trip to Philadelphia, where Tomlan and her friends ditched getting dessert at a cookie shop and instead shared a tub of cookie dough in their car. “I thought, ‘why is this not a thing? Why isn’t there a place where I can eat this?’” said Tomlan. “That was the moment I thought, maybe I can create this thing I’m really craving and looking for.” She began experimenting with ingredients, trying to figure out a way to make a dough that was not only edible but bakeable. DO uses traditional cookie dough ingredients like butter, sugar and vanilla, but also pasteurized egg and heat-treated flour to make it safe to eat. She first launched the company online, shipping cookie dough nationwide. And though her products were well-received online, she never anticipated the overnight sensation DO would become once it opened a physical store. “I love cookie dough and everyone I know loves it, but I had no idea the response would be what it was,” said Tomlan. “Every day when I look and there’s a line down the block, I’m amazed at how quickly it’s grown and how happy people are. I’m so excited by the response.” When walking into DO, guests enter into a dessert lover’s paradise. There are more than a dozen signature cookie dough flavors that can be served

Signature flavors include chocolate chip, sugar cookie and brownie batter, and all doughs can be upgraded with mix-ins such as candy, sprinkles, marshmallow fluff and more. The scoops of doughs are the most popular on the menu, with many guests also asking for cookie dough milkshakes and original items like the cookie dough brownie, which layers brownie, cookie dough and chocolate ganache, and the cookie bomb, a stuffed cookie cup with cookie dough buttercream frosting. The menu also features the Ice Cream SanDO wich, which puts ice cream between two layers of chocolate chip cookie dough, cookie dough fudge and cookie dough ice cream pie. With people flocking from all over the country to get a bite of the once-forbidden treat, Tomlan said she’s looking to expand production capabilities and hopes that in the next few months they will be able to host classes and

private events in the open-concept kitchen. She’s also looking to resume online operations, which have stopped due to the high demand in-store. For Tomlan, raw cookie dough is about more than just satisfying her sweet tooth. Growing up, she spent hours watching her mom cook, wearing out multiple Easy-Bake ovens before moving onto the real thing and perfecting her recipes. There’s a special nostalgia around cookies, something, Tomlan said, has universal appeal. “It’s something everyone loves and has a personal story connected to,” Tomlan said. “Whether it’s growing up in the kitchen next to mom, or making Christmas cookies, whether you were allowed to lick the spoon or not, there’s something nostalgic about the experience. And with people walking in to the store, no matter what age, you turn into that kid again.” DO is located at 550 Laguardia Place, New York, NY.

Hempstead Turnpike Hidden Gems Part II BY STEVE MOSCO
S
SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com
paccanapoli, the narrow street that traverses the historic center of Naples, Italy, lands in this week’s Hempstead Turnpike Hidden Gems with Naples Street Food in Franklin Square. Opened last year by a husband and wife team with deep roots in Avellino, Italy, which is about an hour outside of Naples, this eatery has a palpable familial atmosphere and comforting tone—and, oh yeah, it also boasts an Acunto, an iconic Neapolitan pizza oven that once cooked pizzas in the owners’ homeland. That magnificent, wood-fired oven cooks more than 20 varieties of authentic, outstanding pizza at Naples Street Food. And at a blazing 1,000 degrees, the eatery’s oven turns out 12” and 17” pies (no slices) in about 90 seconds. The heavenly combination of that heat plus incredibly fresh ingredients equals pies that far exceed the standard Long Island pizzeria. The menu sends any well-versed food fan into frantic anticipation, as ingredients like buffalo mozzarella, fresh prosciutto di parma and porchetta jump off the page and light up the flavor imagination. Standard
pies like Marinara (tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, basil) and Margherita (tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil) are certainly the best in the area, and might even challenge those legendary pizzerias in Brooklyn. The sauce hits all the right notes, including that hard-to-achieve perfect sweetness without going overboard. From the pizze bianche (no tomato sauce) side of the menu, the Aurora features buffalo mozzarella topped with arugula, prosciutto di parma, shaved Parmesan and truffle oil. The buffalo mozzarella is impossibly soft with a lingering flavor that lasts throughout each bite as the bitterness of the arugula, the earthiness of the mushroom and the saltiness of the cured prosciutto and shaved Parmesan fight for dominance on the palate. The result of that fight is a flavor combination of exquisite decadence. Across all of Naples Street Food’s pizza, there is the ever-present crust. A product of fermentation and extreme heat, the crust is bubbled and cracks with each bite. Pizza crust is so very important to the finished product, and Naples Street Food is about as close as a restaurant can get to perfect crust. Beyond pizza, the superb crust also elevates

the eatery’s three varieties of calzoni, as well as its panozzi, which fashions pizza crust into sandwich bread. The porchetta panozzi with roasted pork and broccoli rabe is this eater’s leading contender for sandwich of the year. The quaint eatery also doles out fresh, homemade desserts including Nutella pizza, tiramisu and Italian cheesecake. Naples Street Food is the type of hidden gem you feel everyone should know about, but you also selfishly want to keep to yourself. Street parking can be tricky, but it’s worth the effort. Make a right on Pacific Street just after Taco Bell for more parking options. Naples Street Food, 970 Hempstead Tpke., Franklin Square, 516-673-4630, www.facebook.com/NaplesStreetFood081

or the past dozen years, the nonprofit Maysles Documentary Center (MDC) has dedicated its Harlem location to highlight the art of documentary filmmaking to provoke dialogue and action, first as an education program and four years later as an exhibition space. According to Cinema Director Jessica Green, it was a vision firmly embraced by late cinema legend Albert Maysles, who created the center back in 2005 along with his wife Gillian Walker. “The idea with a space like this is to create a third space where newcomers and old-timers can come together and be neighbors and through documentaries, can experience the themes, issues and discussions that are very often directly related to people’s everyday lives,” Green explained. With an annual budget of about a half-million dollars, the MDC got its start via a summer education program for youth whose parents were incarcerated and were taught how to shoot documentaries so they could tell their stories. Eventually, the MDC created low or no-cost education programs that range from film literacy classes for children and filmmaking for high school students to intro and advanced filmmaking and editing for adults and a cinema management job training program for Harlem residents. The exhibition portion of the MDC is going into its ninth year and features a
2,000-square foot, 55-seat cinema that was recently renovated with Dolby Surround Sound and a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) and can be rented out to raise money for the MDC’s multitude of programs. It serves a crucial role as part of Harlem’s community fabric. The MDC has also teamed up with other institutions including City College, the Museum of the City of New York and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture to curate and provoke conversations about myriad past and present social subjects. Most recently, filmmaker Iris Morales, the first female member of the Young Lords, screened her 1996 documentary Palante Siempre Palante! The Young Lords, and then discussed that particular era along with her new book Through the Eyes of Rebel Women. It’s in keeping with Maysles’ mindset that Green and her compatriots are intent on preserving. “We want to inspire neighbors to take action in their communities and see themselves as neighbors despite their differences and the different way they come to the table,” Green said. “With rapid hyper-gentrification, you have a level of upheaval and displacement and there needs to be spaces where people can be neighbors and learn how to live together. There are a lot of spaces that do this. We’re just one small part of that.” The Maysles Center is located at 343 Lenox Ave. in Manhattan.

New York Trade Deadline Deals: NHL Edition BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgiLderubio@antonmediagroup.com
T
his year’s NHL trade deadline came and went on March 1 with both New York hockey franchises making little to no moves. The New York Rangers acquired Detroit Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith while the New York Islanders chose to stand pat. Such hasn’t been the case in the past for either team. Here are a handful of notable deadline deals both squads have made. Martin St. Louis for 2014 second-round pick, 2015 first-round pick and right wing Ryan Callahan This March 5, 2014, deal resulted in the Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning swapping captains. While St. Louis finished the regular season in a lackluster fashion, his mother’s unexpected death during the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pittsburgh Penguins found his new
teammates rallying around him and the diminutive winger netted eight goals and put up 15 points in the playoffs. He led the Rangers to the Stanley Cup finals, where they fell to the Los Angeles Kings in five games. Butch Goring for right wing Billy Harris and defenseman Dave Lewis On March 10, 1980, the New York Islanders acquired scrappy center Butch Goring from the Los Angeles Kings and in the process, added a key component to the team’s four-Cup run. The Isles won their last 12 regular season games with Goring putting up 19 points in 21 playoff games in 1980. The following year, the Manitoba native raised the bar by racking up 20 points in the playoffs and winning the Conn Smythe Trophy to go with another Stanley Cup.
Glenn Anderson for right wing Mike Gartner; Stephane Matteau and Brian Noonan for right wing Tony Amonte/rights for left wing Matt Oates; Craig McTavish for center Todd Marchant On March 21, 1994, then-Rangers GM Neil Smith became quite the horse trader at the deadline, executing five separate trades with the most notable being the above swaps. The idea was that coach Mike Keenan was looking for a degree of aggressiveness that he felt he’d be getting with the new players, who were coming from Captain Mark Messier’s old stomping grounds in Edmonton and Keenan’s prior coaching stop with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Rangers wound up winning their first Stanley Cup in 54 years.
Ryan Smyth for Robert Nilsson, center Ryan O’ Marra, and a 2007 first-round pick When the Islanders pulled the trigger to get Ryan Smyth from the Edmonton Oilers on Feb. 27, it was the idea that this elite rental player would provide leadership to the sixth place New York squad going into the playoffs. He delivered by putting up 15 points in 18 regular season games before coming up with another four points in the five-game first round playoff exit to the Buffalo Sabres.

Peripheral Neuropathy WARNING! Warner Robins, GA--The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. These drugs have names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are primarily anti-depressant or anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects. Figure 1: Notice the very small blood vessels surrounding each nerve.
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow. As you can see in Figure 2, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up, which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems,
pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms. Figure 2: Blood Vessels When these very small Normal blood vessels become Diseased diseased Blood they begin Vessels to shrivel up and the Nerves shrivel nerves when blood Vessels disappear begin to degenerate.
Nerve
The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Jericho that offers you hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neuropathy severity assessment at the end of this article) In order to effectively address your neuropathy three factors must be determined. 1) What is the underlying cause? 2) How Much Nerve Damage Has Been Sustained? NOTE: Once you have sustained 85% nerve loss, there is likely nothing that we can do for you. 3) How much care will your condition require?
The care that is provided at Center Island Chiropractic Associates, P.C. has three main goals: 1) Reduce spinal nerve pressure and stimulate small nerve fibers 2) Increase blood flow 3) Decrease brain-based pain The technology that increases blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blood flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a plant. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of care needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage there is hope! Figure 3: The blood vessels will grow back around the nerves much like a plant’s roots grow when watered.
