Breaking Ground and Records

U

pper Arlington has a lot planned for 2017.

Several new construction projects will begin as others are finished in the months ahead. The City is projected to spend more than $100 million on construction activity in 2016, which is a new record.

“We do not see any signs of slowing down at this point,” says Planning Officer Justin Milam.

The upcoming year will likely follow the re- Arlington Gateway cent trend in spending with projects and partnerships such as the one the city has with the Kroger Company.

Kroger owns the vacant property where Macy’s used to be at Kingsdale Shopping Center.

There is community concern over what will become of the vacant lot. A community center was proposed for the space back in 2002, but a public vote decided against the center two-to-one. No formal plans have been submitted at this point, but the City looks forward to working with Kroger to meet the standards of the Board of Zoning and Planning (BZAP) and the community.

“We have been told that a mixed-use center including a grocery store will ultimately be proposed,” says Senior Planning Officer Chad Gibson.

OhioHealth will open up a new medical office building in early 2017. The twostory structure occupies 26,600 square feet and is located at 3363 Tremont Rd. The new medical building will provide first floor neuro-rehabilitation, family 8

Shops on Lane, a new outbuilding in front of Whole Foods, will open in 2017. The 6,623- square-foot retail building, located near the intersection of Lane Avenue and Beaumont Road, is just one story and will be home to Mutts & Co. and another future tenant.

Arlington Gateway, a sevenstory mixed-use building, was approved earlier this year by the BZAP near the corner of Lane Avenue and North Star Road.

The building includes a 14,000-square-foot ground floor with both retail and restaurant spaces. The second floor will be 18,670 square feet of office space, in addition to 85 condominiums and apartments. The project also includes a 4.5-story, 271-space parking garage.

Upper Arlington spent $94.7 million in 2015 on construction and redevelopment, which it will surpass in 2016 with an expected total coming in at over $100 million.

“This extraordinary level of reinvestment is remarkable for a community of Upper Arlington’s size and character,” says Gibson. “As a landlocked, inner-ring suburb, redevelopment accounts for nearly all of this construction.”

Stay informed and up to date on the City’s future construction projects by visiting www.uaoh.net, where current projects are listed under community development.

Some projects include renderings.

practice and lab services. The project also includes 110 parking spaces, which will be built on two recently rezoned properties neighboring the main lot.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s new five-story medical office building will no longer have vacant space. The 105,000-square-foot office building will fill in vacancies with optometry and dentistry offices. This facility has been open, but not full, since this past August.

Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital is relocating and renovating a two-story office building at 1515 W. Lane Ave. The new center will merge two existing practices – Northstar Animal Care in Grandview and Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital, currently located on Northstar Road – into one superior facility.

he year 2016 was a very productive one for the Village.

“We continued to move forward with projects and address issues that needed attention,” says Marble Cliff Mayor Kent Studebaker. “I am particularly proud of the new, state-of-the-art street light system completed in 2016 under the direction of Village Engineer Josh Ford of Burgess & Niple.”

2016 was an important year for the Village's infrastructure.

be enhanced with new sign poles, and planning for a 2018 total makeover of Cardigan Avenue from Dublin Road to the railroad tracks should be completed.

“Our strong fiscal standing has allowed us to make these improvements without tax increases or new assessments on residents and businesses,” says Studebaker. “Our 2 percent income tax rate is the lowest in the area. And the Village’s portion of the property tax remains the lowest permitted by state law.”

“But we cannot become complacent,” Studebaker says. “The Village should always be working to ensure it meets the needs of both residents and businesses. A challenge for 2017 is to remain vigilant about any shift of our business base and keep a focus on economic development. My involvement with Destination Grandview, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, the Grandview/Marble Cliff Historical Society and Tri-Village Chamber Partnership keeps Marble Cliff in the minds of everyone. Although Marble Cliff is small, we are an important part of the Tri-Village area. Our goal is to make the Village as strong as possible for future generations of Village residents and businesses.”

Brian Cheek takes over as executive director

here is a new face of Destination Grandview.

Brian Cheek took over as the executive director of Grandview Heights’ convention and visitors bureau in early October, and looks to continue to promote the Grandview area to attract visitors and businesses alike.

“Grandview is really unique because it’s dense with lots to offer,” Cheek says, noting the city’s various breweries, ethnic restaurants and locally owned shops.

“People want to go where the

locals are, and Grandview definitely has that flavor to it.”

This diversity, along with many of the businesses’ willingness, allows for partnerships in the area to be made that can be translated into various packages for locals and visitors alike, something Cheek says falls in line with his goal of continued collaboration.

Along with creating packages for leisure travelers, Cheek says he hopes businesses and conventions will choose Grandview because of the renovations and additions made to Grandview Yard.

“With the addition of the Grand Event Center to the Grandview Yard, along with the Hyatt Place and the recently opened Courtyard Marriott, we hope to increase Beer tasting at Hofbräuhaus Columbus 10

overnight stays in the Grandview area by marketing (the) entire destination to travelers,” Cheek says.

Cheek previously worked for eight years at Experience Columbus, Columbus’ convention and visitors bureau. He started in membership, where he worked locally with restaurants, then moved to tourism, where he says he targeted motor coach groups such as baby boomers or those at family reunions and provided them with tailored itineraries.

Cheek says he plans on marketing the Grandview area in a number of different ways, including utilizing Destination Grandview’s almost 10,000 followers on Instagram.

“We plan to market the destination via our social media channels, marketing ourselves through tourism trade shows and hosting tour operators and group leaders on tours of the area to help familiarize themselves with the area and to allow them to see the great proximity we have to Ohio State University and downtown Columbus,” he says.

Overall, Cheek’s plans align with that of the organization he works for: “to showcase the best of the Greater Grandview area to residents and visitors.”

A Local Hero UA resident fights fires and stereotypes

W

hen Mindy Gabriel was growing up on her family’s grain farm in Ashland, Ohio, it never occurred to her that she might one day be a firefighter.

She left the farm to attend The Ohio State University, and before she became her family’s first college graduate, she spent her four years as a member and eventual captain of the women’s varsity rowing team, a sport she had never tried prior to walking onto the team. This is where the first seeds of her future career as the sole female fireJanuary/February 2017 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

fighter in the Upper Arlington Fire Department (UAFD) were sown.

Gabriel considers herself “a bit of an accidental firefighter” since she didn’t have any family members involved in firefighting. She was first exposed to the profession as part of her exercise science major at OSU. “When I was at OSU, we fitnesstested the Columbus firefighters, and I found myself asking them all about their jobs,” says Gabriel.

When the opportunity came for her to take the fitness test herself, she passed on her first attempt and was hired immediately.

“Once I was hired, they sent me to fire school and emergency medical technician school at the State Fire Academy, and I was sure I had made a good choice,” she says. “I say to people that I chose to row because I was an athlete without a sport, and then I chose to be a firefighter because I was an athlete without a team.”

14

Mindy Gabriel says she works to be a role model and mentor for others.

The choice Gabriel made is not a traditional career path for most women, and being the only woman with the UAFD brings some special challenges. When she tells people what she does for a living, she usually gets the same reaction.

“They say I don’t look like a firefighter,” she says. “I always wonder what they expected a woman firefighter to look like.”

Firefighting is physically challenging for all firefighters, but Gabriel says it is especially so for women.

“It is very important to me that I can physically do the job my entire career. I work at it constantly, lifting weights and running. Women definitely have to work harder at this,” she says, crediting her background as an athlete as a reason she knows she’s up to the task.

Gabriel also sees the lack of women in leadership positions within fire departments as a challenge for female firefighters

seeking role models and mentors, so she works to be that person for others.

“They can do any job they want, but they must work very hard and do their homework. Shadowing and talking to firefighters and paramedics is essential to see if it is a good fit. Most firefighters have pretty similar type-A personalities,” Gabriel says. “It really helps girls to talk to women firefighters so they can visualize what that looks like. Breaking gender norms is huge.”

Firefighting is, of course, a difficult and rewarding profession regardless of gender, and Gabriel has experienced highs and lows throughout her career.

“When I am grocery shopping, my children always wonder why people are coming up to me and crying and hugging me,” she says. “Maybe I was there when their husband of 50 years died, or seeing me reminds them of a tragedy in their lives

January/February 2017 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

that I witnessed. It is both an awesome and a sad thing. We get a front row seat to humanity.”

In addition to working for the fire department, Gabriel lives in Upper Arlington with her husband, Adam, who is also a UA firefighter, and their three children: Porter (8), Dane (5) and Rose (3). She says they love living in UA because the people care so much about their city and its great parks, schools and services.

As members of the fire department, Mindy and Adam are proud to be able to give back to the community that gives them so much. “(Firefighters) really get to help people in ways that show great respect and human kindness,” she says.

While the Gabriels are firefighters who are actual family, the UAFD functions as a family as well.

“Our job can be very stressful,” says Gabriel. “We need to be diligent to take care of one another too.”

The UAFD do this while out on calls and also back at the station and, as with most families, food brings them together. “Pizza Saturday” is a UAFD tradition, and the pizzas are made from scratch as a big group activity, yet another example of the teamwork that drew Gabriel to firefighting in the first place.

“It truly is the greatest job in the world, and the people I work with are some of the most talented and dedicated individuals I have ever met,” she says. “I am proud of what I have been able to be a part of so far, and I want to set a good example for my children that hard work and resilience pays off.”

types combined affect only 1,000 children across the U.S. It affects cells’ ability to dispose of wastes, and is passed to the child by both parents. Affected children end up in wheelchairs, requiring feeding tubes and losing their sight. Life expectancy is 8 to 10 years old. There is no cure.

“By age 5, they could be in a wheelchair, on a feeding tube, have massive numbers of seizures, not able to see, not able to walk, not able to feed themselves,

not able to communicate,” says Margie Frazier, executive director of Batten Disease Support & Research Association (BDSRA) in Grandview Heights. “Then, often, these kids are gone from us by 10 or 11. It’s heartbreaking and devastating.”

“It just kind of feels like your world stops, and everything (else) keeps going,” Barbara says. “That’s the best way I can describe it.”

January/February 2017 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

n January 2013, Alex and Barbara Diaz found themselves in an ambulance rushing their 2-year-old son, Kaleb, to the emergency room after a seizure. He had an ear infection and a fever, and the Diazes were told it was most likely a febrile seizure, common in young sick children, usually harmless.

All tests came back normal, and three days later, the family was sent home from the hospital with many questions but few answers. The Diaz family didn’t know it at the time, but the Tri-Village area would become one of those answers.

Just three weeks later, their daughter Mia, a year older than Kaleb, suffered a seizure as well. Barbara took Kaleb, Mia and oldest child Jaylen to Florida to stay with family. Alex, a member of the U.S. Army, was unable to leave their home in upstate New York. A Florida doctor diagnosed Mia and Kaleb with epilepsy, but after trying three types of medications, the children were still suffering seizures regularly.

More tests and months later, it was revealed that Mia and Kaleb’s cerebellums were unusually small. Ten months after Kaleb’s first seizure, they had a diagnosis. “(The doctor) was just kind of, ‘I’m sorry, I have bad news, and the worst thing is I can’t fix it,’” says Barbara. “He kept saying that part: ‘I can’t fix it.’”

The Diaz family didn’t know it then, but Mia and Kaleb were suffering from late infantile Batten disease, or CLN2.

Batten has 14 types, CLN1 through CLN14 – and it is estimated that all 14

Thanks to the groundbreaking study at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Mia has begun to relearn skills doctors once thought were lost.

Finding Connections With the help of BDSRA and families they connected with on Facebook, the Diazes scoured the Internet, searching for anything that might help Mia and Kaleb.

They found a clinical trial in progress that might help Mia and Kaleb, but it was only available in Germany.

Kaleb is one of six children added to a sibling trial for CLN2.

“We wanted to pack up and leave,” says Barbara.

In early 2014, the trial expanded to a single location in North America: Nationwide Children’s Hospital, to be close to BDSRA. The Diazes had just moved to Colorado Springs, Colo., and Mia was not doing well. In order to accept her into the trial, clinicians requested a video of Mia

walking and talking to ensure she was well enough. She was barely eating, and having difficulty walking. She was suffering seizures every 20-40 minutes, six days a week. Then, Mia did the unexpected.

“As soon as we moved into the house in Colorado, the first thing she did was she stood up and she started running around the house,” says Alex.

“Mia needed 10 steps, and she did 18,” says Barbara. “I think that was probably her last chance to get in.”

Mia was accepted into the trial, and immediately, the Diazes relocated to Grandview with the help of BDSRA. However, the Diazes still had Kaleb, who could not join the trial.

“It was bittersweet,” says Barbara.

However, the Diazes’ hopes weren’t in vain. Last July, 18 months after Mia’s trial began, Kaleb was one of six children added to a sibling trial.

“It felt like the world was lifted off our shoulders,” says Alex.

dren’s Hospital trial, and weren’t disheartened their son Micah wasn’t included in the original three.

“We were told that they weren’t taking any more children, and I was persistent,” says Misty. “When the idea came up of possibly being accepted to the trial, there was no question that we would be moving.”

Micah first suffered seizures in June 2014 and, like the Diazes, he received a diagnosis of epilepsy before the Batten diagnosis in mid-2015. He lost his speech, and his vision was declining. Their older son, Maddox, now 8, understood what his brother was going through.

When Misty and Matthew left for Ohio in hopes of getting Micah into the trial, Misty says Maddox was ready to move, too.

“He knew what Micah had, and he knew the only possibility to help Micah was to move,” says Misty.

“When we left, the first thing he said was, ‘Mommy, please call me and tell me the doctor said yes.’”

Last August, Micah was in the hospital with pneumonia when floodwaters swept through the McCorkles’ hometown of Holden, La. The McCorkles lost their home and most of their possessions. Mere weeks later, they learned Micah would be one of the six new participants. They immediately packed up what the flood had left and moved to Grandview. Misty describes it as “culture shock,” but immediately found a home here.

“We met the special needs teacher (at Stevenson Elementary School), and as soon as we walked in the door, she said, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s Micah, we’re so glad to have you here,’” says Misty. “It’s like family.”

Remarkable Results Maddox, 8 (left), knew moving would be the way to help his little brother, and Misty says he was ready and willing. This photo was taken two months after Micah's diagnosis.

sion takes about four hours. So far, the trial has shocked everyone.

“These kids don’t have the lysosomal capacity to eat this junk, so it’s building up, so it’s a constant battle in their brains,” says Frazier. “When they have that stasis in the brain – when they have that enzyme – they can pick up new things. They can learn a new word. We had kids who weren’t walking well who can now climb steps by themselves. And are very proud of it. Very proud.”

It’s still too early to tell for Kaleb, now 6, but the trial’s impact on Mia, now 7, cannot be disputed.

“We’re going on a year without a seizure,” says Barbara. In unison, she and Alex knock on their wood coffee table.

Not only have Mia’s seizures disappeared, she has relearned potty training, is relearning words and she’s even walking. Micah, now 5, who has only been in the trial since September, is relearning words as well.

“Right after his first infusion – it sounds bizarre – but he started saying mama, daddy,” says Misty. “It sounds so strange. I wish I would’ve recorded it, but goodness. It just – joy. It brought so much joy to my heart.”

Should the trial results continue to progress, Frazier says, the drug will be commercially available in April. However, a cure has still not been found, and 13 more forms of Batten have yet to see a trial as conclusive as this, so BDSRA shows no signs of stopping.

“We’re all thrilled about this, it’ll be a huge victory for our community,” says Frazier. “We will not stop until other families with other forms of the disease have the same opportunity.”

Not-So-Small Update Grandview home sees an update that makes all the difference

T

hough this home in Grandview Heights wasn’t painfully outdated, the homeowners, Gary and Renee Heydinger, decided it needed a “wow” factor. They had cleaner lines, a change of lighting and Shaker style in mind when they brought on Dave Fox Design Build Remodelers to help spice up their kitchen.

With cabinets and their refrigerator blocking natural light from flowing into the kitchen, the Heydingers wanted to remove a wall between the kitchen and living room, move appliances to allow for better movement in the kitchen, and brighten up the room.

Dave Fox capitalized on those desires.

“They wanted an open feel to the space,

By replacing the black floors, removing windows in a corner of the kitchen and replacing them with cabinetry, Dave Fox made the space feel more open and clean. No longer is the refrigerator trapped in a corner wall, and the homeowners find themselves with more storage space without sacrificing natural light.

“They wanted to move the fridge from the location where those windows were to the west wall, which was kind of opposite of the sink in the house,” says Sorenson.

and more clean lines, but keeping the Shaker style,” says Wendy Sorenson, design consultant for the project. “The appliances were a big driving factor.”

Some of the changes, such as moving the refrigerator, adding cabinets and redoing the floor – may seem subtle, but the completed kitchen and the kitchen the Heydingers started with feel worlds different. Although no space was added to the kitchen – just opening up walls – it feels larger, has better flow, and each piece looks intentional and fits within the space.

“They were really happy with the project,” says Sorenson. “They had given us a list of their wants and need in the space, but I think they had a definite style that they relate really well to us.”

A wall between the living room and kitchen came down to open up the two spaces, and Dave Fox added an arch to match one in another room. The result brought cohesiveness and a more spacious feel to the kitchen. This allowed for space for the island seating that occupied the area in which the fridge now sits.

“For the island, it’s more of a peninsula,” says Sorenson. “They wanted to extend the counter island into the small room off the kitchen they were using as a family room.”

before The Heydingers desired something that Dave Fox rarely creates: a refrigerator surrounded by cabinets. The space was previously being used as an island of sorts, which blocked the natural path from one space into the kitchen. By doing away with the sitting space and moving the refrigerator, Dave Fox removed the need for guests and the homeowners to dodge chairs to get to the living room.

“I like that pantry wall a lot,” says Sorenson. “From the front, it’s very symmetrical and balanced.”

Standing Tall

Upper Arlington drug awareness group continues to fight back against drug use

By Zachary Konno

A

ccording to the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, there was a 366 percent increase in drug overdose deaths in Ohio from 2000 to 2012. Additionally, there were more than 3,000 unintentional drug overdose deaths in 2015.

It’s no secret that drug abuse and addiction is a severe problem affecting central Ohio, and teenagers are most at risk.

However, one group in Upper Arlington has decided to take a “stand” against it.

The Stand Project was formed in mid2015 when Upper Arlington City Schools Superintendent Paul Imhoff brought together a diverse group of people in the community who shared his concern of drugs being marketed to high school students. This group includes retired Upper Arlington Police Chief Brian Quinn, along with parents, teachers, Upper Arlington City Council Member Kip Greenhill, former Upper Arlington Police Chief Brian Quinn and Drug Free Action Alliance Executive Director Marcie Seidel principals and others in the community.

“A lot of amazing people have come together who recognize that there’s a real problem here, and can really have the vision to realize that if this goes unchecked, it will be an all-consuming problem,” says at-large member Dr. John Leff.

Leff, a surgeon at Riverside Methodist Hospital and a member of the steering committee at the Stand Project, says that drug addiction and abuse, particularly opiates, has become such a problem in part because those who suffer from it do not have health care. Their addiction is so overwhelming that they neglect critical post-operative care.

“We’re seeing a lot of people come in neglecting these issues, particularly with heroin,” Leff says. “They really let these problems go.”

He first started to notice how big of a problem opiate abuse was becoming in Upper Arlington Public Library Director of Community Relations Jennifer Faure and Ohio Attorney General Deputy Director of high schools when he saw an increased Communications Eve Mueller number of students with abscesses from Many students’ introduction to opi“What we’ve come to realize now is skin popping or injections, something he ates is during recovery from a sports in- that there’s a subset of these addicts where says used to only be “really commonly jury or following procedures such as wis- this is their first exposure to these addicfound in 20- and 30-year-olds.” dom teeth removal or an appendectomy. tive substances,” Leff says.

He now has made an emphasis to use non-narcotic treatments such as ibuprofen and Celebrex to manage pain, along with ice packs. Leff also tries to educate parents on ways to limit easy access to narcotics for adolescents in the household.

Jenny Ledman, this year’s presi- The Ohio State University Director of Recovery Sarah Nerad and Stand dent of the Stand Project and an Upper Project President Jenny Ledman Arlington parent, says marijuana and alcohol are also being widely abused.

“I think, in terms of what we’re hearing or seeing in Upper Arlington, it’s different because opiates aren’t the main thing, but one of several things,” Ledman says.

Ledman says the organization votes on two areas of focus: medication and prescription awareness and the laws.

Upper Arlington High School Principal Andrew Theado and Upper The Stand Project attempts to Arlington City Council member Kip Greenhill bring awareness on how to safely store and dispense of all types of narcotics, as well as promote the idea that it is OK to ask a physician for less of a prescription or a different one entirely. Ledman says this is all done in order to have “fewer pills available on the street,” which will result in a “better chance of getting ahead of (the) issue.”

In respect to legislation regarding drugs and alcohol, the organization wants to inform others that laws and residents on drugs and how kids against open containers or driving under might try to hide them. the influence are simply in place to proThough still in its infancy, the Stand tect people.

new year brings new hope for healthier lifestyles, though even the best intentions are often forgotten by February. For those who are ready to shake up their routine, intimidated by organized fitness or just flatout unmotivated, there are some unique opportunities in the area that might do the trick.

Geared specifically toward women, Pure Barre incorporates a ballet bar into a low-impact, high-intensity workout.

Each class is a full-body workout with an extra focus on the thighs, hips, seat, abs and arms. The goal is to work your muscles to complete fatigue in every 55-minute class. Most people see results after just 10 classes.

With a location in Grandview Heights and two others in central Ohio, Pure Barre Pure Barre incorporates ballet and high-intensity workouts. reaches about 200 people every day. Emily Johnson, owner of all three locations, is “I discovered the technique just over a former The Ohio State University cheer- six years ago near my hometown in Michileader who found personal success with gan,” Johnson says. “At the time, boutique the Barre technique. fitness was exclusive to yoga studios and

crossfit gyms. There was nothing really inbetween for the busy women who wanted to get in a good workout and continue on with their day.”

New members can get one month of unlimited classes for $99.

You might have heard of SoulCycle, a trendy chain of spinning classes found in many east and west coast cities. The spinning craze has hit the Tri-Village area, too, with Cycle614, the first fitness studio in Columbus completely dedicated to indoor cycling, co-owned by Demi January/February 2017 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

Tsapatsaris and Mark Placenti. The atmosphere and the emphasis on healthy stress release inspire members to ride, rock and rejuvenate. Tsapatsaris describes Cycle614 as “a venti-sized endorphin fix.”

“Together, we find freedom in our rides by turning the outside off and turning the music up,” says Tsapatsaris.

It’s easy to register for a class with online sign-up, and you can even choose your bike seat ahead of time.

On average, a single ride can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories with a full-body workout, often incorporating weights into the routine. Each ride is around $17, but with package deals, you spend less per ride.

The fast-paced endorphin overload isn’t relaxing for everyone, though, which is why so many have found GoYoga enticing. With locations in New Albany, Powell, Upper Arlington, Worthington and Grandview, GoYoga is the largest yoga company in Columbus.

Regular yoga practice has many benefits, such as increased energy, strength, awareness and overall wellness. With GoYoga, the intensity level of each workout can be modified to meet your needs and skill level. From relaxation to power flow, the variety of styles offered make it easy to find what works for you. New members get two weeks of unlimited classes for only $25.

INSTRUCTIONS • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Coat the inside of a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or lightly brush with vegetable or canola oil.

• In a bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt and cardamom. Set aside.

• In a medium bowl, with a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat butter and sugar together into a light yellow colored, fluffy mixture. About two minutes at medium speed.

• Add egg, zest and almond extract into butter-sugar blend. Mix until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl regularly while mixing.

• Turn mixer down to low speed, then add dry mixed flour ingredients in three additions and alternate with milk in two additions.

ction ish and some American themed menus consisting of a starter, main course and sweet ending,” Kelley says. “All of my lifelong cooking classes are demonstration style. The setting is intimate as only a maximum of 10 registrants are enrolled, which allows for questions and personal engagement.”

One class ranges from $55-$60 and includes three to four recipes.

“I demonstrate how to cook, and they get to taste generous samples of each dish, enjoy one or two wine pairings, and take home the recipes,” Kelley says.

While teaching the class, Kelley also discusses the importance of the dish through its historical and regional background.

“My classes usually fill up, but they will create a wait list, and I need a group of at least six or seven in order to add an extra or special private class, but we are happy to do that too,” Kelley says. “The appetizers are my twist on two traditional French bistro dishes — a croque monsieur (Gruyere and ham sandwich) and steak frites (steak and fries) — which are miniaturized into one or two bites.”

The main dish can be used as a standalone for brunch — it’s a hearty, quick bread and textured salad. Kelley says it’s a flavorful option that’s also “lovely to look at.”

I look forward to serving you in

the new yeaR!
