CITY IMAGE M A G A Z I N E
FALL 2023
HAIRCUT BY KENNY ROMERO | @ROMECUTS973
A NOTE FROM
THE CO-FOUNDER Dear Readers, Welcome to the second issue of City Image. As we journey forward, I’m immensely grateful for the bond we’ve started forging since our first edition. Your support and engagement breathe life into our pages, making every issue a labor of love and commitment. In this edition, I wanted to introduce you to a philosophy that has profoundly influenced my personal and professional journey: Stoicism. This isn’t just a cerebral exercise for us; it’s an intimate reflection of the core values that guide City Image. Stoicism speaks to us about embracing life’s unpredictability, honing our focus on our actions and reactions, and perpetually seeking growth. It teaches that our viewpoint, more often than not, dictates our response to challenges. With a resilient mindset, any obstacle becomes surmountable. One cannot discuss Stoicism without acknowledging the indomitable spirit of Marcus Aurelius. He wasn’t just a Roman Emperor; he was a beacon of Stoic practice. His writings, known to us as ‘Meditations’, were not for the world to see. They were intimate musings, reflecting the ethos of a leader who practiced what he preached, even under the immense pressures of his role. While Stoicism emphasizes resilience, it also humbly acknowledges our imperfections. It doesn’t chase an unattainable ideal but promotes understanding and managing our emotions, ensuring our reactions are considered rather than impulsive. Through City Image, our hope is to provide more than just articles—it’s to offer roadmaps, like the teachings of Stoicism, that can guide us in the tumultuous times of the modern world. It’s about focusing on what truly matters and seeking wisdom, old and new, to navigate our lives better. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Here’s to growth, understanding, and many more enlightening editions of City Image. Warm regards,
Izak Orero Izak Orero Co-Founder, City Image

Social media, in general, is abuzz with content celebrating the game, reflecting soccer’s burgeoning place in American culture. “Ever since he joined the MLS, the interest in soccer has increased. I hope that he paves the way for more big name players to come play in America in the near future” said Frank Giuliano, Founder of Soccer Zone USA. For those inspired by the sport — be it athletes, casual players, fans, or those simply drawn to the sleek design of jerseys — there’s a place to turn: Soccer Zone USA. It’s where you can equip yourself with authentic gear, connecting you directly to the heart of this soccer movement in the US. Visit their stores in New Jersey or shop online at www.soccerzoneusa.com

Communicate, Don’t Complicate: The Unspoken Rules of the Barbershop
TRUST IN THE PROCESS As the old saying goes, “A watched pot never boils.” Similarly, continually checking the mirror during a haircut can not only disrupt the flow of the barber but also increase your own anxiety. Remember, you’ve chosen this barber for their expertise.
OPEN DIALOGUE OVER CONSTANT CHECKING We know you wanna see how your haircut is coming along, but please don’t break your neck looking for the mirror. Constantly checking can send mixed signals,
suggesting
doubt
and
uncertainty. Instead, voice out any concerns you might have. A simple “Hey, we’re doing a low fade right?” can do wonders for your peace of mind, and it provides an opportunity for

In the heart of Hawthorne, NJ, there’s a surprising buzz every Thursday night. Bottagra Restaurant, already a gem for its great Italian food, turns up the volume and morphs into a lively NYCinspired hotspot. For three years and counting, this suburban spot has been holding its own, offering a slice of bigcity nightlife without the commute. Crafting this ambiance wasn’t an accident. Co-Owner Robert Vicari, the guy behind the ambiance, shares: “We aimed to recreate the electrifying spirit of NYC nightlife, right here in New Jersey.” And you know what? He’s nailed it.
Yet, ambiance isn’t the only star. The culinary delights from Bottagra hold their ground. Chef and Co-Owner Carlo Carbonara, the genius in the kitchen, says:
“Good food is a celebration in itself, and every dish we serve is an invitation to join the party.” And folks, he isn’t exaggerating. From appetizers to entrees to desserts, the Italian flavors sing. Every Thursday night, beneath a spacious, well decorated tent, Bottagra comes alive in a distinctive way. The setting effortlessly merges gourmet dishes with a cocktail scene, rhythmic beats echoing, inviting guests to lose themselves in the music.

THE EVOLUTION OF EXCELLENCE: I.M.A.G.E ACADEMY CONTINUING JOURNEY
At the heart of City Image is a belief that growth never stops, and our core values of “win together” and “stay hungry” echo this spirit. The I.M.A.G.E Academy, our beacon for continuous learning, stands as a living testament to these values. Our recent sessions highlighted just how we “win together.” When our leadership team united, sharing insights and learning, it became evident that success is a collective effort. The camaraderie and synergy of leaders coming together ensured that City Image’s direction is both united and forward-thinking.
“Stay hungry” is epitomized in our advanced scissor class. As our barbers dive deeper into their craft, their thirst for knowledge and perfection remains unquenched. Their drive to elevate their skills not only benefits their personal growth but also sets new benchmarks for the industry. What’s notable is that few in our industry can claim to have such dedicated internal education. While our program may not be flawless, our commitment is unwavering. We recognize there’s room for improvement, and
with our growth mindset, we are poised to refine and expand the I.M.A.G.E Academy continually. Both sessions were a testament to I.M.A.G.E Academy’s dedication to professional evolution. Each training, each shared idea, is a step toward ensuring City Image doesn’t just follow industry standards – we aim to set them. Our gratitude goes out to the educators and learners who are the heartbeat of this journey. As the Academy grows, we remain focused on turning potential into tangible excellence.

1. GAUGE YOUR ELECTRIC NEEDS Different EVs have different charging demands. Determine your vehicle’s battery size and charger type to ensure compatibility with your home’s electrical system.

3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHARGING STATION Level 1 or Level 2 charger? Indoor or outdoor setup? Based on your needs, pick a station that fits your daily driving habits and vehicle type.
4. PRIORITIZE SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY Safety first! Ensure your charging station is set up in a dry, accessible area, and keep the charging cord neatly arranged to prevent tripping.
5. THINK AHEAD Planning to expand your EV collection or go solar? Consider upgrading your electrical panel now to future proof your home. Located in Fairfield, NJ and servicing all of Northern New Jersey, Nextgen Electric is your go-to for making your home EV-ready. Ready for the switch?
