By Wendy Smith
onique Mancini always wanted to take a bite of the Big Apple. Now she’s added farmfresh veggies to her plate. She and her husband, Stephen, live a few miles from Manhattan and own a hip, service-oriented farmto-table restaurant in Armonk, N.Y., a small town in affluent Westchester County. It’s a life that allows her to be a little bit country – and a little bit rock and roll. One of the secrets to Monique’s success is her southern upbringing. She graduated from Farragut High School and UT, which she attended on a track scholarship. Her parents, Alice and Tim Berarducci, live in Farragut, and Monique maintains a strong connection to her roots. “You don’t forget where you come from, no matter how many people you know,” she says. “The hospitality in the South is the best. Nothing is more genuine than that.” She learned about the role of hospitality in the food business from Knoxville restaurateur Randy Burleson, owner of Aubrey’s, Sunspot and Barley’s Tap Room. Monique worked at Edison Park steakhouse in Farragut while a student at UT. There, she learned about the importance of good service and a large wine cellar. After graduation, she took a job with E. & J. Gallo Winery in Florida. After a year in the Sunshine State, Monique fulfilled her dream of moving to New York City. She moved into a “Cracker Jack box apartment” and lugged wine around, selling to restaurants. The more people she met, the more opportunities arose. In 2007, she tried to sell wine to Stephen Mancini, wine director at
Farragut High School and UT graduate Monique Mancini and her East Tennessee pooch, Cozmo, strike a pose outside Restaurant North in Armonk, N.Y. Mancini opened the restaurant with her husband, Stephen, in 2010. Photo submitted
Union Square Café. He didn’t buy any wine – but he was sold on Monique. Union Square Café is owned by famed restaurateur Danny Meyer, who places an emphasis on hospitality and consistent excellence. His philosophies influenced Stephen, who wanted to open his own restaurant. Monique agreed to help, and they began looking for space in Manhattan. High rental rates forced the couple to expand their search, and they chose Armonk, 35 miles north of Manhattan, as the location for Restaurant North, which opened in June of 2010. Eric Gabrynowicz, who also worked for Meyer, is executive chef and a partner. The food served at Restaurant North is fresh from farms that are less than 75 miles away. It would be easier to call and order frozen food, like most restaurants do, Monique says. “But it’s more of a pleasure to know your farmer.” Relying on fresh produce means getting creative with the menu and working with whatever’s in season. “There are no tomatoes on our menu in the wintertime,” she says. Monique handles public relations and marketing for the restaurant, but her day job is serving as the New York state manager of Fetzer, a California winery that uses sustainable practices. When they’re not working, the Mancinis enjoy drawing up concepts for new restaurants. While she loves spending time in Knoxville, particularly when it’s on a boat, Monique has a new home now. “I still want to be around New York to be in the mix. I’ve always wanted to feel that energy around me.”

Fit, trim and stylish
A
ll of those hours you fellows have been spending at the gym haven’t gone unnoticed by the fashion industry. In fact, M.S. McClellan’s Dan Kocks, the store’s menswear buyer and general manager, says a lot of suit makers have adjusted their demographics to target younger men entering the workforce who are working hard to stay in great physical condition. Kocks says this group is being rewarded with clothing that lets them strut a bit and display that impressive physique in handsome clothing designed just for them. “These young men are fit and they like to show off their great shape, so for fall and winter we’re getting in slimmer suits and shirts and pants and all the other things that go along with these new lines. “It’s a cool look and we’re very excited about it,” Kocks says. Kocks says one fashion trend a lot of young men are adopting is wearing a suit jacket over a pair of jeans on the weekend. In the store’s women’s department, buyer Betsy Foster says fall and winter
clothing and accessories are just as colorful as were those of the summer months. “We’re seeing bright jewel tones – reds, emerald greens, royal blues and bright pinks – set against a background of greys and blacks. These colors will be great to perk us up during the cold winter months.” Foster says for women, the silhouette is best described as an inverted triangle – bigger at the shoulders and smaller through the hips. Prints will be very important for women in the coming months, as will fur, which will be found in scarves and neck pieces, used as trim on some items, and worn as vests and jackets. “There will be a lot of that coming in. These are fashion pieces as well as useful for warmth.” Foster says belts this season are skinny, scarves and accessories are important for filling in a neckline instead of wearing a necklace, and outerwear will include large shawls and ponchos. And still in fashion, those skinny little sleeveless dresses so popular this year will be even more stylish in winter fabrics.

f you haven’t yet discovered Westwood Antique & Design Market, a delightful shop located at 5020 Whittaker Drive between Kingston Pike and Homberg in Bearden, you’re in for a rare treat. And if you’re a regular of Scott Bishop’s inviting place, you already know you’ll see lots of fabulous new items every time you visit. Collectors of American and European antiques, fine art, decorative accessories, folk art, china, crystal, vintage sterling and exquisite furniture in many styles and a wide range of periods can’t get enough of this shop. With almost 6,000 square feet of display space, Westwood always has a broad array of items
in stock. In addition, Bishop is always happy to help find the pieces you’re looking for if he doesn’t have them on hand at the time. Bishop says he believes antiques “are classic recycling. They’re a great ‘green’ way to decorate.”
Bishop’s design skills are well-known, too. He enjoys helping his clients redecorate just one room or an entire house. He will even work with a client’s architect from the very beginning of design through completion of the home.
New York to Knoxville • September 3, 2012 • Page 7
Bishop says he always wants his classic design “to look comfortable and lived in and inviting. They should always reflect the people who live there. They are all about the design, not the designer.” He enjoys using antiques in his room designs, Bishop says, “because they already have a personality. They have patina and personality built up over time that you just aren’t going to find in new furniture, even though it may be beautiful.” Stop by Westwood Antique & Design Market next time you want to purchase a gift for yourself or for someone else, decorate a room, a corner of a room or an entire house.

Ar tist Heather Whiteside remembers New York, then and now
H
By Theresa Edwards
eather Whiteside, known for her original paintings of Knoxville scenes, has returned to New York City, painting both Knoxville and New York cityscapes. Her Knoxville paintings are featured at Liz-Beth and Company. Whiteside lived in New York City in the 1980s, where she received art training at The Art Students League of New York. She also attended The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. “But I think most of my experience has come from just hitting the streets, painting and selling art for a living,” she says. Whiteside She moved to Knoxville in 2006, because she felt that it was
a good place to raise her son, Dalton. Both are fascinated with architecture, and Heather enjoys capturing the city’s personality and character. She is passionate about painting, which she has done for more than 20 years. In 2010, she was chosen as the artist for the Dogwood Arts Festival’s 50th anniversary print. Her painting was “Dog Day Afternoon on the Square.” Heather and Dalton moved back to New York City this July, because he was accepted in the prestigious Spritz School of Architecture, located at the City College of New York. Now he can pursue his dream of becoming an architect. Heather has a studio in New York City, but she also enjoys painting on the streets where onlookers stop to chat with her. “I enjoy that,” she says, “plus they
Heather Whiteside painted “Late for the Show” this summer prior to moving to New York. It is at Liz-Beth and Company at 9211 Parkwest Blvd. Photo by T. Edwards sometimes buy my other paintings on the spot.” She says it is difficult “starting over,” but there are a lot of new opportunities. “The sky is the limit,” she says. She is currently working on an exhibition for an upcoming contemporary art show. Her paintings are also displayed at Objects and Images Fine Arts Gallery in the Bronx. It has been interesting seeing the changes in New York City from the 1980’s to now, she says, calling it “the new New York!”
She said the old New York in the 1980’s was rough and seedy with a lot of old New Yorkers selling hot dogs. It was notorious for chaos and you always had to be on guard. It was noisy, with horns honking. The subways had hot cars, rarely airconditioned, and people were packed like sardines in a can. It cost 35 cents to ride. “New York is very different now,” Heather says. It has been cleaned up a lot, and is much more controlled. The whole demographic has changed, with younger professionals living in the city. “It has a totally different character and vibe. The whole beat is different.” In Manhattan, she said, nobody is honking at each other, so it is quieter. Almost everyone has earphones plugged in. “They’re completely tuned out.” There are new air-conditioned subway trains. The subway costs $2.25, and cards are used instead of tokens. What’s interesting for Heather is that Dalton is now the age she was when she first moved to New York. “He goes exploring to places like the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It reminds me of when I was his age. It’s really neat,” she said. Info: www.heatherwhiteside.com

Our philosophy is to teach it right and motivate our students to love dance and the work that it entails. Every individual is different, and we encourage our dancers to celebrate that, find out what their body is capable of and achieve it without worry about where their peers are. Dance is an individual sport taught in a group environment.” Studio Arts for Dancers offers classes in pre-ballet, ballet, pointe, repertoire, modern, Horton, jazz and tap. Classes are for pre-school age three through pre-professional and are branching into adult and beginning teen programs. McKee is committed to each student at each level. Following a specific syllabus, she makes certain that all students learn ballet anatomy, history and terminology. “It doesn’t matter to me that they take dance as recreation. I still want them to learn dance correctly, love it and appreciate it. It is something they will carry with them their whole life. It is
a discipline that is a life skill. I love it when students come back as adults, sometimes with their own children, and tell me how the work ethic and respect they learned at the studio has helped them in life.” Studio Arts has a program this year for teenagers new to dance who can commit to only one class a week because of involvement in other sports or musical theatre programs at their schools. With minimal commitment, students can learn dance with their peers. Studio Arts produces a high caliber of artistic and technical excellence in its young students. “While the majority of our students dance just because they love it, many have professional aspirations, and it is our job to ensure they are prepared.”
Many of McKee’s students have been accepted to prestigious summer dance programs, including the Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Lines, Jacobs Pillow, The Rock, and others, as well as being accepted to prestigious collegiate dance programs. Many have continued on to professional performance careers. “What is great and unique about our program is that we have a highly qualified staff which ensures correct, safe and creative teaching methods no matter the level or personal aspirations of each student. We are dance educators.” Studio Arts for Dancers performs annually at the Tennessee Theatre and is the home of GO! Contemporary Dance Company, a non-profit contemporary ballet and aerial dance company.

O! Contemporary Dance Works, a local non-profit contemporary dance company, will present both new and revisited works at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Clarence Brown Theatre. GO! will premier five new works by local and international choreographers as well as revisiting works from past performances. GO! is known for its innovative choreographic works and high caliber dancers, and for the ability to attract choreographers from across the globe to Knoxville. Artistic director Lisa Hall McKee will present five works, premiering a highly intense and emotional piece titled “Hungered,” inspired by the novel “Hunger Games.” “For this piece I selected our apprentice and junior company members, ages 11 to 15, to stay true to the storyline. It has been amazing to see 19 young dancers commit their hearts to this piece. It really affects them! From working with imaginary weapons to experiencing anxiety and the emotions of separation and desperation, these dancers are doing an excellent job portraying the story.” McKee will also premier “pulsE” an athletic contemporary ballet that ends with the dancers suspended in the air in harnesses. “This piece is based on a human’s pulse, its various rhythms. It goes on and on, constantly changing, mixing all elements of ballet, contemporary and aerial into a constant. It is quite a ride,” said McKee. Choreographic works by Denise Njuguna will be featured in the program, as well as works by Dylan Kend-
rick, Julie Cox, Jill Frere, Leah Pinder and United Kingdom guest artist Rebecca Evans. Njuguna’s piece, called “Winnow,” is athletic with dramatic explosive movement to music by Jars of Clay. “The Louvre” is a visit to the famous French museum come to life with “The Thinker,” “The Scream” and “Mona Lisa.” “Denise’s choreography is brilliant. It reaches out to our audience and grabs them. She brings out the maximum in our dancers, pushing them to their limit,” said McKee. GO! is not for the average dance goer. “No Nutcrackers here,” McKee said. “These are all original and thought-provoking works designed for our audience which is usually more risk taking when it comes to dance. We keep upping our caliber because our audience keeps upping its expectations. It is a great and motivating relationship.” GO! Contemporary Dance Works is committed to serving the Knoxville Community and has performed with the KSO in its educational outreach programs, as guest artists for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s “Clayton Holiday Concerts,” the Knoxville Opera Company’s Rossini Festival, Roane State Community College and many other local venues. GO! is also pleased to offer a limited number of seats available as a Penny Performance through The Arts and Culture Alliance. To purchase tickets for GO! call 539-2475.

pen since last October, Neighborhood Barre in Northshore Town Center has quickly become the “go to” place for both men and women who want to tone their bodies while improving energy and metabolic levels. Additional benefits are improvements in posture, self-confidence and a general sense of well-being. The studio is the brainchild of owner Katy Branstetter and follows certain techniques of The Lotte Berk Method and Physique 57, classical barre studios in New York. Classes at Neighborhood Barre combine the fundamentals of dance, yoga and Pilates in isometric movements designed to carve and reBranstetter shape the muscles of arms, legs, the seat and abs. Results can be seen in about 10 weeks, although the
time is shorter for some. Branstetter says Neighborhood Barre’s mission is to offer all clients, whether beginner or advanced, a quick and effective way to transform their bodies. “The studio evokes a sense of comfort and encouragement in our clients’ quest for improvement, free of judgment and comparison,” she says. The classes are suitable for a wide range of ages and can be used as either a primary fitness program or as a complement to an existing program. Body positioning is taught in each class to maximize the benefit of the exercises, as well as to ensure safety of the lower back. All movements are low impact, easy on the joints, and help to improve posture and balance. Classes are approximately 55 minutes in length and can be purchased/scheduled online at www.neighborhoodbarre. com or in person at the studio. Neighborhood Barre is not part of a
chain, although Branstetter says she may open additional studios as demand increases. Her studio is already gaining a name for itself among top players in the athletics field. Just last February she was asked to be an ambassador for lululemon, a Canadian athletic apparel company. That’s quite an honor.

hen you’re shopping for libations, manager Jeff Gettelfinger and the staff at Turkey Creek Wine and Spirits are proud to stock the finest offerings in the area. Gettelfinger can share with you some fascinating insights into the history of the wine and spirits industry. There isn’t much he doesn’t know on the subject, including his industry’s very real connection linking New York to Knoxville. During Prohibition in this country, it was at the ports in New York (and New Jersey) that ships docked to furtively unload their cargos of Italian and French wines and
Scotch and Irish whiskies. Gettelfinger says that’s why alcohol is still sold by the liter. “It’s one of the few businesses still run on the metric system.” He adds that the spirits business in Knoxville is like that of New York in that “the stores are 100 percent locally owned and operated, so the selection of wine and spirits isn’t dictated to us by someone living hundreds of miles away. Local buyers keep the quality high. If something isn’t up to their standards, they don’t buy it.” Open since 2003 at 10903 Turkey Creek Drive, Gettelfinger says his store “caters to those who
are looking for really nice wines and spirits imported from Europe. We are always looking for special bargains so we can offer something that is exceptionally well made for a low price.” If you would like to be added to the store’s e-mail list, you will be notified of store specials, wine dinners and wine tastings. Go to www.knoxvillewine.com or call the store at 7779463. Gettelfinger says that the list is statistically significant and includes even out-ofstate customers, but he says he’s keeping the exact number a trade secret.

he song that plays in the background on the home page of the store’s website pretty much tells the story of Snooty of Turkey Creek, an anti-aging boutique. The song is “You Sexy Thing” by the British pop group Hot Chocolate, but for decades we have all known the tune as “I believe in miracles.” And that’s exactly what clients of Snooty’s say happens in the chic boutique in Turkey Creek: miracles. There are large miracles and small ones, but all clients receive the same great customer service in beautiful surroundings that feature an elegant silver and white décor that owner Juliet Massey describes as “soothing, restful, clean, glitzy and upscale.” But that’s only the beginning. Massey says she and her staff, all of whom are
