Our headline may seem premature if you look out the window at the trees just now. But it’s right on time for the stores. Because it’s a magazine’s job to keep you prepared, we present our traditional March Fashion Issue with confidence and pride. Confidence is timely, not just for the season but for this particular year. As five local fashion experts explain on page 44, “bold” is in this year. Dramatic colors, animal prints, asymmetry, imaginative mixing and layering—all of these are on trend for spring. Our gurus’ advice? Don’t waver or apologize—go for it.
As for “full flower,” we take that literally, as you’ll see starting on page 52. But today’s floral designs needn’t remind you of Grandma. They’re sleek, imaginative, sophisticated—and very 2025.
Speaking of which, did you know it’s not only a year of good taste, but a tasty-sounding year as well? Pantone’s Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse, a hue that can whet your appetite for a scrumptiously satisfying look. “The pleasures of this color are basic and earthy,” as we report on page 50, “making it a perfect balance for a pop of bolder hue.” (There’s that boldness again.)
“White is always a great color,” says the founder of the boutique Sutton East in Hackensack on page 24. (Of course, she may be biased—her name is Lynn White.) She goes on to present style tips you won’t want to miss. Green, of course, is a bold hue that pops up everywhere this month, especially on or about the 17th. We offer stats on the county’s Irish-American population and the dates of local St. Patrick’s Day parades. The odds of finding a four-leaf clover (the Irish symbol of luck)? Make your guess before you turn to page 21.
This issue goes beyond fashion, of course. “Your Attention, Please” on page 42 deserves your attention—and please don’t stop reading in mid-article to do something else. In Escapes on page 68, we highlight five travel destinations where hip music festivals are being held in the coming weeks. These are cool, compelling cities to visit in any case—how nice to have a timely musical excuse to visit each! Our Special Report on page 60 details the shrinking history of farming in Bergen. A few agricultural operations still prosper here, and for many reasons we want to preserve them for tomorrow’s kids—and “farm-to-table” diners. On page 36, meet John Pecoraro, first responder par excellence, who’s spent half a century serving his community by rescuing people in emergencies. Finally, see on page 64 how a HoHo-Kus kitchen was remodeled and beautified—for clients who happily had no fear of bold colors.
Did I say “bold” once more? Some themes just assert themselves. So be brave, hang on a bit longer, and I promise you the world will soon be in luxuriant bloom— and perhaps our spirits too.
Enjoy this issue!

OUR GUIDE TO NEW IDEAS, TIPS, TRENDS AND THINGS WE LOVE IN OUR COUNTY.
Everyone is Irish when St. Patrick’s Day rolls around, especially in our area, where celebrations began well before March 17 and will continue after the holiday passes.
BY THE NUMBERS: Roughly 12.5 percent of New Jersey’s 9.5 million residents report being of Irish descent, putting us at No. 13 on the list of “most Irish” states. (New Hampshire tops the list at 20 percent Irish.)
More stats:
• 102,000: Approximate number of Bergen County residents of Irish descent, the third most in the state behind Monmouth and Ocean counties.
• 5,321: Number of Ridgewood residents claiming Irish ancestry, the largest community of any town in Bergen.
• 30.4: The percentage of Waldwick residents of Irish descent, the highest per population of any Bergen town.
• 9.6: The percentage of residents in Bergenfield (home to Bergen’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade) with Irish heritage.
Source: U.S. Census American Community Survey
Festivities kicked off this month in Rutherford, which held its annual parade on March 2. Upcoming parades in the area include:
• March 14: Newark’s 90th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off at 1 p.m. Info: newarkstpatricksdayparade.org
• March 15: The St. Patrick’s Day Parade of Morris County in Morristown begins at noon. Info: paradeday.org
• March 16: The 43rd Annual Bergen County St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Bergenfield starts at 2 p.m. Info: bergencountyirish.org
• March 23: The 61st Annual Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Pearl River, N.Y., begins at 1:30 p.m. Info: rocklandcountyaoh.com
Look for traditional St. Paddy’s Day grub—corned beef and cabbage, shepherd’s pie and Guinness, for example—at these Irish pubs:

The grand marshal of the 43rd Annual Bergen County St. Patrick’s Day Parade is Michael Dressler, 72, a longtime public servant, elected to the Cresskill Borough Council in 1974 and then as mayor in 1983. In 1996, he was elected Bergen County Surrogate Judge, certifying wills, assigning estate administrators, appointing guardians and administering adoptions.
Here comes the dreaded “spring forward.” On March 9, we adjust the clocks an hour ahead for Daylight Saving Time, and what follows is many people’s least favorite week of the year. Losing an hour of sleep can wreak havoc on routines, calendars and circadian rhythm (the internal clock that regulates when you’re feeling tired and when you’re feeling alert). How to keep it from derailing your whole month? Try these tips:
• Adjust early. If you know Daylight Saving Time knocks you off your game, get ready. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine advises adjusting your schedule slowly, and going to bed 15 to 20 minutes earlier in the days leading up to the shift. And shift your meals and exercise, both contributing factors to your sleep schedule, accordingly.
• Watch the caffeine. If there’s ever a time you’ll be craving an extra cup of joe, it’s now. (And nothing turns a fatigued day around like a stop at a local coffee shop.) However, make sure you don’t overdo it. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that adults have no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine a day—that’s roughly two to three 12-oz. cups. Drinking caffeine too close to bedtime can also disrupt your sleep even more, keeping you up at night and increasing your fatigue the next morning. Experts say your last cup of coffee should be six hours before bedtime.
• Cut yourself some slack. Build more time into your schedule to rest until you adjust. Sleep deprivation is no joke, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute flags it as putting you at risk for everything from decreased focus to chronic problems such as kidney disease. Now might be a great time to use some of those mindfulness meditation practices, brew some herbal tea and give yourself more time to unwind in the evenings and wake up in the mornings.
…Michael Rizzo of Upper Saddle River, who participated in the 2025 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, on New Year’s Day to promote organ donation. He rode on OneLegacy’s Donate Life Rose Parade float, recognized as the world’s most visible campaign symbol for that cause. After a serious arm fracture that nearly ended his career as a paramedic and police officer, Rizzo received a tissue donation that allowed him a full recovery. He later underwent a heart transplant. He has been a champion for organ donations ever since.
…Christopher Connolly, Teaneck’s fire captain, who saved the life of a child who fell through ice while he was off duty. On Jan. 22, while walking to his daughter’s school, he heard someone falling through a frozen creek and reacted immediately. Besides pulling the child from the water, he called emergency services and provided basic first aid before first responders arrived.
…the swim teams of Hackensack and Teaneck high schools, which, in the face of dwindling enrollment, merged to form one collaborative squad to be more competitive. Now, the roster comprises 50 swimmers—25 girls and 25 boys—and a shared coaching staff. The hope is that this depth will help the team compete more effectively while keeping the program thriving.
Dog: Haley, a 2-year-old black English Labrador Owner: Rhianna Maglio of Ramsey
Haley is a dog of the town! She’s a mainstay at the weekly Ramsey Farmers’ Market, where she can be found every Sunday. She always makes a point to greet her favorite people there—especially the vendors who sell dog treats. Like a true lab, she loves every person she meets.
Haley also goes at least weekly to Kathy Santo Dog Training and PlayCare in Waldwick. All that training has paid off, because she’s very polite: When it’s time to go on a walk, she carries her own leash until she gets outside, and then waits for her human to pick it up before she makes a move. (She will, of course, be watching eagerly for that cue.) To burn off energy, Haley, Rhianna and Rhianna’s mother Alison often hike at the Ramapo Valley County Reservation and around Lake Henry at Continental Soldiers Park, both in Mahwah.

The Hindu festival celebrating spring, Holi, is March 14. Traditionally it’s a joyful and colorful occasion—people cover themselves, each other and the world around them in brightly colored chalk and water. If you’re looking for a place to rejoice, or cultural education from your Hindu neighbors, check out:
• March 7, Lyndhurst Public Library’s Holi Celebration. This family-friendly event, presented by Ayam Arts of Rutherford, will include cultural festivities and music. More info: lyndhurstlibrary.org
• March 14, Hindu Samaj Mandir’s Holi celebration, Mahwah. This Hindu temple and community center offers services and other celebrations for the festival. More info: hindusamajmandir.org
• Stay tuned for details about Fair Lawn’s Holi Celebration in Memorial Park. Final details were not available at press time, but the borough’s annual event is always a celebration of the local Hindu community. More info: fairlawn.org
TALK ABOUT TACOS
Taco night at home is great, but sometimes you crave something authentic. Lupita’s Cocina in Oakland serves a variety of genuine Mexican entrées such as adobo chicken and ribs in salsa verde. It has plenty of tacos too, with an assortment of meat and filling options, so there’s truly a bite for everyone.
• Lupita’s Cocina, 388 Ramapo Valley Rd., Oakland, 201.644.0545; lupitascocinanj.com
ISLAND FLAVOR
When you can’t sail to the islands, dining at Don Coqui may be the next best thing. The new eatery brings the taste of the Caribbean to Edgewater, offering a long list of ceviche and seafood dishes, steak and pork entrées (its ropa vieja is a must-try) and craft cocktails that’ll make you think you’re in the tropics. • Don Coqui, 541 River Rd., Edgewater, 201.947.9800; doncoqui. com
SOUTH UP NORTH
After a year as a “ghost kitchen” in Teaneck, Sweet T’s Southern Eatery has opened a new brick-and-mortar restaurant in that town. (There’s already a location in Montclair.) The menu features family recipes from co-owners Tonza Houston and Dre Perrin, including deep-fried chicken, deviled eggs and Georgia-style okra. When you dine in, the delicious food comes with the finest Southern-style hospitality as well.

Ready for a fresh face for a fresh season? Westwood-based makeup artist Jillian Babcock, owner of Makeup by Jillian B., offers tips, tricks and trend reports for spring ’25.
“The trends we expect to see this season include modern-retro eye looks, with bold liner and pastel washes of color, and fresh-faced looks with dewy skin and minimal makeup,” Babcock says. “We’re also seeing shimmering accents strategically placed on eyelids and lips. Colorful lashes bring a playful dimension, while bitten-berry lip stains offer a subtle, romantic vibe.”
Easiest to pull off? That’d be the shimmering accent trend, says Babcock. “I love to use one product applied in multiple areas of the face,” she explains. “I often see mature women steering away from shimmer, which is a mistake. Older women can confidently wear shimmer by selecting finely milled, cream-based or liquid formulas that blend seamlessly into the skin. These textures avoid settling into fine lines and provide a soft, luminous glow. Lightly applying shimmer to the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones or eyelids, creates a subtle radiance without overwhelming the look. When done thoughtfully, shimmer can enhance mature skin, adding vibrancy and dimension.”
Trends are changing faster than ever, fueled by social media’s algorithm and an industry focused on fast fashion. How do you keep yourself from looking dated? Focusing on good-quality, foundational pieces, says personal stylist Lynn White of the Hackensack-based Sutton East, will keep you looking sophisticated and chic no matter what. Her other suggestions:
• Timeless blouses. “The chicest blouses are either sleeveless or three-quarter sleeves; some have a little pleat on top, and that’s great,” says White. She also plugs her namesake hue: “White is always a great color. And I love pale yellow, pale pink and navy—not black, though. Black is great for a sweater, but not a shirt.”
• Perfect pants. White suggests you invest in “a classic side zip pant or a classic front zip pant, depending on your body. The side zip is a lean pant, and the front zipper is more relaxed in the way it fits.” She adds: “Don’t let your blouses hang out! Tuck them into the pants all the way around.”
• Classic dresses. White singles out “deep, emerald green” as a good color for spring and summer dresses. And, of course, every woman’s wardrobe should include a black dress, she says. “Always go with Chanel length,” she advises. “That’s the one that goes just below your knees. It always looks good.”
The sun is shining, temperatures are rising—spring is coming and you’re itching to get outdoors. In Bergen, there are more than 9,000 acres of county parkland to explore, from Ramapo Valley County Reservation in Mahwah to Van Saun Park in Paramus to Overpeck Park in Leonia. But don’t neglect the many municipal parks, such as—
• Votee Park, Teaneck. This more than 40-acre park is packed with walking paths, playground equipment, playing fields and picnic areas. “In warmer months, we use the grills and have family get-togethers in the park,” says Michael Redmond of Englewood. “It’s a great place for kids to enjoy the playground, while the parents kick back and relax in the fresh air.”
• Flat Rock Brook Nature Center, Englewood. Some 150 acres of wooded land here are dedicated to preservation and education. Self-guided walking trails lead through forest and meadow and alongside streams and ponds—sitting and picnic areas are scattered throughout.
• Losen Slote Creek Park, Little Ferry. This 26-acre site offers nature trails and sitting areas. It’s a popular spot for birders too, with opportunities to see nuthatches, woodpeckers, herons, hawks and other winged creatures. “I’ve been coming here for a few years whenever I want to enjoy nature,” Teaneck resident Brendan McWilliams says. “It’s always so quiet, and there’s a good chance to see bald eagles, great egrets and redtailed hawks.”
You’re not alone if you’ve been storing cleaners and other chemicals you no longer need under the sink or in the garage—but you can take action. More than 1.1 million pounds of household hazardous materials were disposed of through waste collection by the Bergen County Utilities Authority (BCUA) last year, and the program continues.
The county asks Bergen residents to dispose of their hazardous waste materials properly by bringing them to BCUA in Moonachie on March 8 and Nov. 15; Bergen Community College in Paramus on April 6, June 8 and Oct. 19; Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah on May 10, July 19 and Sept. 6.
Here’s what you may—and may not—bring:
Acceptable: Aerosol cans, antifreeze, blacktop sealant, bug spray, disinfectants, drain cleaners, fertilizer, fire extinguishers, fluorescent light bulbs, gasoline, insecticides, kerosene, paints and varnishes, pesticides, propane gas cylinders (1- and 20-lb. only), thermostats, thermometers, used motor oil and filters.
Unacceptable: Empty or hardened paint cans, alkaline batteries, unlabeled waste or containers with unknown contents, medical waste and sharps, radioactive materials, explosives, compressed cylinders (oxygen or acetylene), computers, electronics, smoke detectors, construction debris, tires. (For a complete list, visit bcua.org.)
• Cooper’s Pond, Bergenfield. This neighborhood park features a picturesque pond with a short but peaceful walking path. (Dogs are not permitted.)
• Tenafly Nature Center, Tenafly. Walking trails meander throughout this 400-acre preserve. The main building hosts classes and an opportunity to view the center’s “animal ambassadors.”
• G. Thomas Donch Nature Preserve, Franklin Lakes. Also known as the Franklin Lakes Nature Preserve, this park is great for hiking, picnicking and other forms of passive recreation.
When you turn off your home’s lights for Earth Hour on March 22, you’ll be joining a global movement to support the environment and reconnect with the planet. Switching off lights for an hour (8:30 to 9:30 p.m.) may seem like a drop in the bucket for energy conservation, but the awareness that it raises worldwide is immeasurable. What else can you do to support Mother Nature this spring?
• Add shrubs and trees: Create shelter for wildlife by adding shrubs and trees around the edges of your property. Birds, butterflies and other pollinators can use these trees and help improve the overall health of the neighborhood.
• Add water features: Provide water for wildlife by installing a birdbath or another water feature. (Be sure to keep it clean throughout the year, especially in warm months, to avoid mosquitoes.)
• Insulate your hot-water tank: This will keep water hotter longer, so you won’t waste water running the tap
• Use a timed sprinkler system: An automatic sprinkler system uses less water than watering by hand. This will reduce your water bill, and your landscape will live longer.
• Use a broom instead of a hose: Sweep with a broom to clean your driveway, sidewalks and garage.
• Harvest rainwater: Use rain barrels to water your gardens and landscape. It’s best to use this water on non-edible and ornamental plants, and it should be used on the soil, not the plant itself.

Living with Peripheral Neuropathy can feel like your life is slipping away. For years, I didn’t even know what was happening to me. It started with a little tingling and numbness, but it grew worse until even the simplest tasks became unbearable, says Sue S. from Paramus.
“I was afraid to go to a doctor because I didn’t want to be put on medications that might leave me foggy or disconnected. Eventually, I did visit a neurologist, and the diagnosis was Peripheral Neuropathy. I was prescribed Gabapentin, and at first, it seemed like a miracle. But relief didn’t last long. Within months, I needed higher doses, and soon, I was taking 3,600 milligrams daily. The side effects and dependency were overwhelming. My future felt bleak.”
When Neuropathy takes over your hands and feet, it’s not just pain—it’s a loss of
independence.“I couldn’t touch a steering wheel, use a keyboard, or even hold my phone. Dressing myself, washing dishes—everything became excruciating. My once-active life shrank to almost nothing. I was desperate.”
That’s when Sue found Dr. Aleksandra Mihajlovic, DTCM, LAc at Sasha Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine. “I was skeptical at first—would acupuncture really help? But after my first visit, I knew I had made the right choice.”
Unlike other treatments that only mask symptoms, Dr. Aleksandra takes a different approach. Her deep knowledge of acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and innovative therapies allows her to tailor treatments to each patient’s unique needs After assessing Sue’s condition, she created a customized plan that combined acupuncture with other complementary therapies.
“At first, I went three times a week, then reduced to two. Within six weeks, I began to feel a difference. Slowly, the pain faded. I used to wake up every morning in agony, immediately analyzing my pain level. Now, I wake up pain-free. Instead of grieving what I can’t do, I focus on what I can.”
One of the biggest transformations? Sue is no longer dependent on heavy medication. “I started treatments while taking 3,600 mg of Gabapentin daily. Over time, I’ve reduced that to just 300 mg—and I’m still tapering down. Freeing myself from both pain and
medication has given me my life back in ways I never thought possible.”
For anyone struggling with Neuropathy, Sue offers a message of hope: “I know it’s hard to believe anything will work. I felt the same way. But Dr. Aleksandra’s treatments are not a gimmick. She is incredibly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and truly committed to healing her patients.”
“In today’s world, it’s easy to be skeptical. There are so many false promises and people looking to take advantage of those in pain. But Dr. Aleksandra is the real deal. Her expertise in ancient healing techniques combined with modern innovations makes her treatments uniquely effective. Thanks to her, I have both physical relief and emotional peace. I can enjoy life again. Tasks that once felt impossible are now manageable. I no longer dread the future.”

Paramus’s John Pecoraro, a first responder par excellence, has spent the past half century helping people in emergencies.
John Pecoraro, 73, works as a managing engineer at a company that makes military hardware. On his own time, he serves on the all-volunteer Paramus Rescue Squad, responding to car accidents, medical crises and other emergencies. And you might say he’s getting the hang of it—it’s been more than 50 years.
Pecoraro isn’t quite a lifelong Paramus resident, but only because he and his twin brother Peter moved there at 6 months old. Today he and his wife Jodi have four children (including one each in Paramus, Fair Lawn and Park Ridge) and seven grandchildren. He’s also a member (since 2001) of the Paramus Volunteer Ambulance Corps and captain of Paramus’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and he’s an instructor at the Bergen County Emergency Medical Services Training Center, teaching the next generation of first responders.
plenty of days when someone is alive when I get there, alive when they get to the hospital and then walk out of the hospital alive later. I call that a win.
A day that’s stayed with you?
Recently he’s become a local celebrity. In 2023, Paramus designated June 27 as John Pecoraro Day, and last year he was honored with the Hometown Hero Award from Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.).
How did you first get involved with the Rescue Squad?
In the early ’70s, I worked at a Grand Union on Route 17. A coworker was on the Rescue Squad. I became interested because he used to leave for calls and then talk to us about them later. He went on to become a Paramus police officer, reaching the rank of lieutenant before he retired. It seemed like a cool thing to do, so I joined in 1973, and my brother joined a couple months later.
What does a good day on the job look like?
Getting a call, going there and getting sent away, because it was a non-event. But there are also
I responded to 9/11. Paramus rescue, fire and HAZMAT were all called to New York City. We got there around noon and stayed until midnight. We went back the next day with a bucket line, trying to find victims in the rubble. That’s the worst kind of day. But that’s also why you volunteer—to help people.
Why have you kept doing it all these years?
The involvement in the town and community. I’ve made so many friends over the years; there’s an amazing camaraderie. Everybody knows everybody and has respect for everybody, and people get along. When I go on a call, I see people I know I can trust and defend. It makes my job easier. I hope they think the same about me.
What was it like working with your twin brother? I actually still do. He’s a lieutenant in EMS, and I’m captain. Sometimes we butt heads, but when we’re on a call, he’ll listen to me. It also works both ways. I’m an instructor at the Bergen County
Emergency Medical Services Training Center, and he’s a coordinator there. So I listen to him.
Is the rest of your family involved?
Yes. Both my sons and my daughter were on the Rescue Squad. One of my sons’ wives was on EMS for a while. My wife is an EMT and was a Paramus EMS for 10 years. We worked together. She recently retired. What’s that like?
We don’t really discuss work things outside of work. We have better things to talk about—kids, grandkids. We all have stories, but we try not to tell them again and again.
Something you like about teaching?
Being an instructor has helped me as an EMS, because you can never allow yourself to be stagnant. I find that other people’s input, particularly students’, always teaches me something. They ask good questions, and I’ll go investigate to find out more. Every time I teach something, I learn something. It makes me a better person and first responder.
An achievement you’re proud of?
Fifty years of service. Not many people can say that. Awards and honors are really nice things for the town and the state to do, but the most important thing to me is that other people respect my abilities. Memories from raising a family in Paramus?
I missed a lot of birthdays, a lot of dinners. You go to a baseball game and have to leave because the call goes out. Hopefully, you get back before the end of the game, but that doesn’t always happen. People say they understand, but many times they don’t unless they volunteer too.
Advice for would-be volunteers?
Try it out. It might not be for you. It’s not for everyone. But try it.

WITH ALL THE DISTRACTIONS WE FACE THESE DAYS, CAN YOU ACTUALLY CONCENTRATE ON SOMETHING LONGER THAN, SAY, A GOLDFISH CAN?
If it weren’t for her live-in boyfriend, says Jessica Winston, her Wood-Ridge home likely would be in disarray. The 37-year-old works from home, as does her significant other, and during her downtime she often starts household projects: doing laundry, washing dishes, cooking dinner, propagating plants. It sounds like she’s a multitasker, but there’s one problem. “I’ll often start something but won’t finish it because I’ve moved on to a different task,” she says. “So my boyfriend is always closing cupboard doors that I’ve left open, replacing boxes that I’ve scattered or moving clothes from the washer to dryer.”
Winston chalks her problem up to a shortened functional attention span, and the Mayo Clinic backs her up—leaving tasks partially done is a leading sign of that phenomenon, it says. And anecdotal evidence suggests that she’s far from alone. While many of us remark on our so-called “multitasking” ability, our lengthening “things to do” lists and our availability to an escalating number of rings and dings throughout the day, there’s a growing sense that the center isn’t holding—that we’re all harried and distracted, and that our very busyness is making us less effective instead of more.
So, what’s causing our shortened attention spans? To answer, it’s important to understand the science of attention, which is the core cognitive ability to actively and passively process nearby information, says Jeffrey Portnoy, PhD, a clinical neuropsychologist at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck. When information is processed, it’s stored in the prefrontal cortex of the brain as “working memory” and used in the execution of cognitive tasks. “We are always paying some amount of attention to
the things happening around us, even when we are not fully aware of it,” Portnoy says. “As with most of our mental abilities, attention is not in infinite supply, and it can be used up temporarily.” The inability to process information for a prolonged period leads to a shortened attention span.
Attention spans can range anywhere from two seconds to two hours, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a branch of the National Institutes of Health. The purported 8.25-second average attention span statistic publicized by the Microsoft Corporation in 2015— that was shorter than that of a common goldfish— has since been debunked. But that’s not to say our collective attention spans are not diminishing. The number of distractions around a person plays a large role in the decline.
“Everyone has their own set of cognitive strengths and weaknesses, but the average person has an attention span that we expect to fall in a set range,” says Portnoy. “Shortening of one’s attention span is usually more a result of not optimizing your attentional resources than of a true problem with your attentional abilities. For example, if there are many nearby distractions, your attentional ‘muscles’ are divided by having to filter out what is important to the task at hand and what is irrelevant. Similarly, if you attempt to multitask, you are splitting your limited attention across several different tasks at once. That limits your ability to focus on any one task at a time. Research is ongoing in this area, but for the most part, it is unlikely that any major transformation has happened in the adult brain that has caused our attention spans to actually shorten.”
Portnoy also points to the increased use of technology as a major contributor to attention-span decline. “The world in which the human brain evolved was very different from the world today,” he says. “More than ever, we are surrounded by numerous distractions, and modern technologies such as phones and computers have created an expectation that we are accessible at all times. While we still likely have the same raw attentional abilities as people did generations ago—and in many cases are thought to have stronger raw cognitive abilities than our predecessors—we now live in an environment where we expect to
frequently divide our attention over multiple things at once, leading us to use those resources less efficiently, and exhaust them more quickly.”
• Signs of shortened attention span. Multiple incomplete tasks, as in Winston’s case, could indicate one’s diminishing attention span. Other clues could be poor work performance, mental strain and fatigue. “Doing a task in short bursts due to mental exhaustion often leads to poor work quality,” our expert says.
• Is it a concern? In many cases, a shortened attention span is not indicative of a more serious underlying condition, Portnoy says, and people can refuel their mental resources with good sleep and better nutrition. There are cases, however, when medical conditions can cause reductions in attention span. In recent years, there’s been an uptick of Americans diagnosed with attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—in 2023, about 6 percent of U.S. adults (around 15 million) reported having been diagnosed with the condition, while an earlier estimate was around 4.5 percent, the Association of American Medical Colleges says. “ADHD is often diagnosed in children who are struggling in school,” says Portnoy. “However, while the underlying condition must be present in childhood for the diagnosis to be made, it is often not until adulthood that individuals start to struggle when their life responsibilities change and the strategies they had used to work around their symptoms are no longer as effective.”
Other conditions, such as thyroid, liver or kidney disorders also can impact cognitive function, Portnoy adds. “Some amount of age-related cognitive change is considered normal, but many diseases of the brain, including degenerative conditions and changes in the brain’s blood vessels, can occur later in life, with an impact on cognitive performance.” Tools such as bloodwork, brain scans and neuropsychological testing can accurately diagnose cognitive disorders. Consider seeking help from a physician or psychiatrist when poor attention creates work or personal problems, which can lead to anxiety or moodiness. Sometimes, however, a slight habit change can do the trick. “I’m trying to do fewer things at the same time,” says Winston, our multitaster. “Or I ask my boyfriend for help with chores so I can concentrate on one thing.”
FIVE LOCAL FASHION EXPERTS GIVE YOU TIPS ON THE SEASON’S HOTTEST TRENDS.
We all have that one piece in our closets. Maybe you bought it on a whim; maybe it called to you for weeks and you couldn’t resist. It’s a brightly colored top, a dress with a daring cut, or a pair of pants with a head-turning pattern. Occasionally your hand hovers over it—but you always find yourself pulling away. Or maybe you put it on, pause before the mirror and end up swapping it out for something safer. “It’s too much,” you think—too bright, too bold for you to ever truly pull off.
The time to reach for that piece is now. This spring, fashion favors the bold. Bright colors, distinctive prints and interesting silhouettes rule the day, and you needn’t be afraid to join in. Here, five Bergenbased fashion experts share insights on how to do it exquisitely:
“I love the mixing and layering of long skirts, fringe vests and crochet cardigans we’re seeing right now—it’s like a modern take on Stevie Nicks. Of course, we’re not going to be on stage like Stevie, but you really can’t go wrong with a floral midi dress, cowboy boots and a little fringe suede jacket.”
Kristin Dahl, owner, KD Boutique, Midland Park
“A fresh, more refined take on activewear has started to populate the runways. For me, it’s all about a slightly unexpected pairing. To get the look, try an anorak or track jacket with a slip skirt and slim heels for work, or top leggings and a sports bra with a padded bomber or sleek leather jacket to elevate your workout or errands outfit.”
—Janelle Lloyd, women’s fashion director, Bloomingdale’s, Hackensack
“Red is one of my favorite colors, and I’m so glad that it’s trending. I think it looks good on everyone—girls with red hair often say they can’t wear red, and that’s just not true. Anyone can wear red. I don’t always love pairing a red lipstick with a red outfit, because it can get overwhelming, but if you do it with the right shade it’s so good.”
—Alina Leshiner, owner, Suite 201, Ridgewood
“Animal prints are back for spring 2025. For some, the trend may seem overwhelming. However, it’s easier to incorporate than you might expect. Consider adding it to your look by incorporating an animalprint accessory of your choice—such as a scarf, a bag or a shoe—for a pop of personality.”
—Rachel Sizemore, owner, Heart on A Hanger, Wyckoff
“The asymmetrical trend is having a moment again. It’s a fresh way to show a little bit of skin in a clean geometrical silhouette—a little peak of the shoulder, the nape of the neck or a bit of leg in a side slit. Balance this look with a straight-leg jean, or a slim wide pant. It’s great for work or for dinner out at your favorite spot.”

Food is freshest when it’s grown nearby. But can we keep Bergen’s tiny remaining agricultural sector from disappearing forever?
Three centuries have brought Bergen County a lot of “bigger” and “better” and “more.” But life is trade-offs—one feature of the area has sharply diminished. In 1725, our region’s abundant farmland harvests fed much of New York City, a short trip across the Hudson River from the Alpine dock. Then came industrialization, an exploding population and suburban sprawl. Today, agriculture accounts for less than one percent of the county’s economic output. And yet in this, the state’s most densely populated county, whose economy is dominated by the retail, healthcare and service sectors, farms still dot the landscape, from semirural Mahwah to bustling Paramus.
Today there are 49 farms across Bergen, comprising 924 acres. Given Bergen’s suburban profile, that may sound impressive, but it represents a steep decline. In 1860, farms covered more than 123,000 acres across the county, representing roughly 80 percent of Bergen’s 232.8 square miles of land. In 1954, that number was down to 12,000 acres, and by the mid-’70s it had declined to 3,000, as farmland gave way to residential and commercial development. In 1982 the total was
BY LESLIE GARISTO PFAFF
2,700—and that, of course, was still almost three times the farm acreage of today.
Our farms no longer feed much of New York City or even much of Bergen. Given that the majority of our food is grown elsewhere in the state, or well beyond its borders, the fate of Bergen’s farms may not seem like a pressing concern. But Ken Aloisio, executive director of the Bergen County Open Space Trust Fund, who is spearheading an update of Bergen’s Farmland Preservation Plan, argues otherwise. “Farmland provides many economic, environmental and quality-of-life benefits to the county and its residents,” he says. “Once farmland is lost to development, those benefits are lost as well.”
The simplest agricultural definition of “yield” is what and how much a farm produces, and in the case of our county’s farms, that yield can be measured in a host of benefits, including:
• Fresh food—with the stress on “fresh.”
Jon Friedland, owner of Closter Farm, notes that “the average vegetable in the United States travels
1,500 miles to get to the grocery store.” On the other hand, the vegetables he sells at his Closter farmstand travel about 300 feet, which makes them fresher than most of the food in the produce aisle of your local supermarket. It also significantly reduces their carbon footprint.
• A connection to the food system. Too many of our kids operate on the implicit assumption (even if intellectually they know better) that food originates in the supermarket. But buying at farmstands, frequenting farmers’ markets, picking your own produce or joining a CSA (a community-supported agriculture project, a kind of food subscription service that supplies members with fresh, locally grown produce throughout the growing season) can help kids understand and appreciate where their food comes from. And that has a benefit of its own, says Stacey Antine, a registered dietitian nutritionist and founder of Wyckoff-based HealthBarn USA, whose mission is to teach kids about nutrition and agriculture. “It’s important for them to experience locally grown food, which impacts their food and nutrition knowledge to make better choices for their health,”
she says. The pick-your-own experience, she says, can be especially valuable: “Harvesting a carrot or a fresh strawberry is super exciting and will make a lasting memory in kids, [inspiring them] to continue demanding nature’s candy.”
It’s also advantageous, Friedland says, to know the farmer: “You can come and talk to us and understand every single ingredient, every single food and every single process that’s involved in growing and harvesting it.”
• Retaining open space. “Farms limit urban sprawl and provide habitat for beneficial species,” says Aloisio. The latter is especially true for farms that restrict or reduce the use of pesticides—far more likely on small farms than on the vast tracts that constitute much of modern agribusiness. “When we lose green spaces, everyone loses, including Mother Nature,” says Antine.
• Tying us to our history. Bergen became one of New Jersey’s first four counties (along with Essex, Middlesex and Monmouth) in 1683, and its agricultural roots go back even further. To lose our working farms, supporters of farmland preservation here contend, would be to lose touch with that history. “Our ties to agriculture go back 400 years,” says David Epstein, president of The Land Conservancy of New Jersey (LCNJ), which has been an active partner with the county in working to preserve open space, including farmland, “and for some 360 years, the main focus of everything in Bergen County was farming. There were railroads that went through the county specifically for the purpose of moving farm products into urban centers like New York, Paterson and other places.” He notes that in his hometown of Ramsey, there are still trolley tracks that were used to carry crops from Mahwah to Paterson and beyond. Retaining farmland helps us make sense of these and other vestiges and keeps a slice of Bergen’s agricultural past alive.
expand his business to Bergen County, a place he’d visited frequently growing up and had come to love. Committed to organic farming, he sees himself and his staff as stewards of the soil. “We practice regenerative farming—regenerating the soil—so we don’t have runoff, we don’t depend on petrochemicals and giant amounts of fertilizer leaching into the environment, leaching into the waterways,” Friedland says.
Suburban farming, notes Jared Krawitz, farm manager at Closter Farm, often doesn’t enjoy the structural support farms receive in rural, largely agricultural, communities—farm-supply stores, for example, and ancillary businesses such as well drillers and greenhouse builders, as well as a large community of fellow farmers from
There are a number of ways farmland can officially be preserved, but to date, only the program known as County Easement Purchase has been used in Bergen. Under this program, the state and county (and sometimes the municipality and/or one or more nonprofit organizations) pay the land’s owner for an easement on the property that ensures that it will never be used for nonagricultural purposes. That easement remains in place in perpetuity, even if the property is sold.
Not all farms in Bergen are eligible for preservation. “The criteria for preservation deal with size, zoning, tillable acreage, soil quality, steep slopes and wetlands,” says Aloisio, who notes that, given these criteria, only two additional Bergen County farms currently qualify for preservation.
“When you step on to one of these farms, you’re transported back into a different time. It’s just a magical thing.”
—Erin Giannios, founder, Bergen County Horse Rescue
whom to learn. “But,” he says, “once farmers are established, their primary struggle is selling their product,” and that can be easier in a more densely populated area. “We’re incredibly lucky at Closter Farm,” he says, “to be right in the heart of an amazing community of people who want local, organic food.”
You won’t find big ag in Bergen. The average size of a farm here is 14 acres, and most farms are owned and run by families or single individuals, passionate about the way they make their living. At Closter Farm, Friedland raises chickens and grows 70 different types of vegetables on seven acres. He was already raising beef and growing fruit at his farm in the Hudson Valley, and when the Closter farm—which had previously been in the same family for 70 years—came up for sale in 2019, he jumped at the opportunity to
Almost all of Closter Farm’s food is sold at its adjacent farmstand, but other Bergen farms, like the MEVO Fresh Roots Farm in Mahwah (the letters stand for Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization), sell their produce at farmers’ markets; still others, like Joy’s Farm in Paramus, sell through CSAs. And not all of Bergen’s farms grow vegetables or raise livestock. On 17 acres of officially preserved farmland in Mahwah, Erin Giannios runs Bergen County Horse Rescue. Originally, the property, owned by Jamie Dator, was used to board horses—Giannios boarded her first horse there when she was 14. But when several owners abandoned their horses at the farm, Dator, Giannios says, “put back every dollar this place made into caring for those horses that weren’t paying the bills anymore.” Nine years ago, Dator and Giannios made it official and formed Bergen County Horse Rescue.
About six years before that, after several unsolicited offers were made on the farm, Dator approached Bergen County’s Agriculture Development Board about preserving the farmland in perpetuity. “Jamie fought tooth and nail to preserve it,” Giannios says, “and thank God for that.”
His hope, and that of his partners in the LCNJ, is that the old preservation plan will be updated in such a way as to make additional farms candidates for preservation.
Official preser vation has been a boon to Giannios, who knows that she can continue saving horses, and savoring the farm’s open spaces, confident that the land will never hold a mini-mall or a McMansion. “That’s so important,” she says, “especially in this technological society that we’re living in. I see it all the time: When you step onto one of these farms, you’re transformed back into a different time. It’s just a magical thing.”

In the beautification of a Tudor home in Ho-Ho-Kus, the most vital room is saved for last.
Design by Anthony Passanante, Anthony Albert Studios

Truth be told, Chris and Letitia didn’t hate their old kitchen. Though dated, it proved functional, and they’d grown used to it. So they waited almost 14 years for the time when the heart of their sixbedroom, Tudor home in Ho-Ho-Kus would reflect their own style. The couple with two school-age children redesigned other spaces, one by one. But the kitchen they let cling for years to an artsy look with 3D vines and branches, a vestige of the former owner’s décor.
Inertia ended when Anthony Passanante of Waldwick’s Anthony Albert Studios tackled the kitchen redesign. “It just felt like the timing was right, and we wanted to change,” reflects Letitia. And today, after an enjoyable—even fun—experience working with Passanante, the couple is signaling a strong thumbs-up.
Favorite parts? “For me it’s probably a three-way tie,” says Chris, “among the island, which is a Brazilian quartzite that really dazzles people; the black, industrial-like handmade hood that Anthony put together for us—it’s a real striking piece, and that giant sink.” (He’s referring to a 4-foot-long Galley sink with a brass faucet.)
His wife adds that her favorite eye-catcher is the somewhat rustic, handmade tile backsplash by Mediterranean Tile that stretches

to the ceiling and “looks so beautiful” illuminated by aged brass sconces by Visual Comfort. (With both of their children finally old enough for a babysitter, she says, the couple could enjoy shopping along with Passanante for tiles and more.)
Passanante was happy to work with a couple with no fear of color. He recalls with pleasure the Roma Blue quartzite (imported from Brazil by Dente Trading Co.) with striking veins that helped define the room’s look. “And the hood I had custom-made by my metal worker.” That craftsman, he notes, gave the steel a patina finish and sanded the edges for an industrial vibe.
“We didn’t want your typical white kitchen,” Passanante also remembers. So the slim custom cabinets with aged brass hardware are a soft gray. The cabinetry helps the Sub-Zero fridge pull a disappearing act. As the designer explains, in this highly visible spot, “I didn’t want a big piece of steel, just nice and clean and covered.” Another decorative touch, floating shelves mirror the light brown of refinished oak floors.
Though it was a challenge, Passanante was willing to go the extra mile for a recessed coffered ceiling, the key to cohesiveness between the kitchen island and a brass-trimmed table in a windowed alcove. “The ceiling was a lot of work, getting it raised up, shifting openings, some structural work,” he recalls.
While beautification was the couple’s major focus, Passanante also endeavored to improve the kitchen’s flow. “I do find it easier to cook because the layout is more functional,” says Letitia, noting cookware and utensils now within easy reach. Though spacious, the former kitchen layout seemed disconnected. Passanante’s plan: Relocate the pantry, shift doorways and reangle the island with its leather RH stools.
“Everything became more modern, more luxurious, more spacious and guest friendly,” says Chris.
And because their old kitchen still had some life in it, the couple were happy for a company called Renovation Angel to donate it, not dump it.
It wasn’t really so bad, you see. It’s just that what they have now is so much better.

Craving a short trip? Take in the sounds of America at one of five great festivals.
Wanderlust can strike just when Ol’ Man Winter is gathering up his icicles and preparing to shuffle away. If you’re in the mood for a getaway to mark your liberation from the cold, consider its soundtrack. There’s no better time of year to immerse yourself in music.
Lucky for you, music festivals around the country in the coming weeks promise to feed your appetite for hearty listening. Check out, for example, the five described here. While one is right here in New Jersey, the other four are excuses to visit warm, Sunbelt cities you probably ought to check out anyway. Let the music begin!
Though you might not have time to head to Austin this year, you can start planning for 2026. Held annually in March since 1987, this week-long festival (affectionately abbreviated as SXSW) is perhaps its hometown’s marquee event. Considering that the city calls itself “the live music capital of the world,” you can imagine how seriously it’s taken. Spanning nine days, the event covers far more than just music (there are also a film and television festival, comedy shows and keynote speakers), but those looking for tunes will be well pleased with the offerings this year. The lineup is filled with national and international stars spanning every genre, including Gurriers, a buzzy punk-rock band from Dublin; Shiho Yabuki, a Japanese legend; and Big Freedia, a pioneer of the New Orleans Bounce sound. Passes for the whole nine-day music festival start at $895. After the music. Don’t forget to browse the other aspects of SXSW—there’s an exhibition space showing off interactive installations, cutting-edge technology demos and art exhibits in addition to the shows and screenings. Beyond that, Austin proclaims it “keeps itself weird,” offering plenty of joys for first-time tourists and returning travelers alike to explore. For an attraction that lives up to the quirky slogan, try the Cathedral of Junk, a structure built out of more than 60 tons of used furniture, home goods and such. There’s a more conventional museum browsing experience at the Bullock Texas State History Museum, which takes you deep into the history of the Lone Star State. More info: sxsw.com
THE SAVANNAH MUSIC FESTIVAL, SAVANNAH, GA., MARCH 27–APRIL 12. The vibes at this two-week festival are classy and relaxed—perfect for soaking in some of that legendary Savannah charm. If you’re looking for a slow-paced and accessible experience, look no further. Examples: an intimate performance from Julia Fischer, one of the world’s best violinists, or Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, Italy’s leading and longest-standing traditional music ensemble. Shovels & Rope and Langhorne Slim, both acclaimed folk-rock acts, will be playing acoustic sets. The venues for this festival are small and sitdown, and include the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, a Methodist church and the city’s Trustees’ Garden. Ticket prices vary depending on event, and cost between $20 and $100. After the music. Savannah is a truly beautiful city. With its historic architecture dotted with the unmistakable silhouettes of evergreen oaks, taking advantage of one of the many walking tours is a must. The food culture is also can’tmiss, and its innovative offerings are fragrant with Southern charm and hospitality. Try B. Matthew’s Eatery in the Historic District for high-end twists on classics such as shrimp and grits and honey-glazed chicken thighs. Or you could try the elegant 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, where you can indulge in anisette cream mussels, braised short ribs and pecan pie.

Returning to the iconic Atlantic City Convention Center for its 19th year, this one-day festival promises more than 100 breweries showcasing their finest and most innovative craft beers (including Bolero Snort Brewery in Carlstadt), mouthwatering food, fair-inspired activities and amazing live music. Leading that musical charge this year are rock band Senses Fail (formed right here in Ridgewood in 2001) and punk-rock supergroup Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (which includes C. J. Ramone of the Ramones on bass), in addition to local and acoustic acts. In between sets, you can browse cooking seminars and mixology demos, try your hand at games like giant-sized cornhole—and, of course, sample some truly impressive beer. Tickets are $80, and increase to $90 the week of March 29.
After the music. One of the Garden State’s best-known resort towns, Atlantic City offers an endless variety of things to do. Those seeking post-festival fun can swing by one of its many casinos, of which the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is one of the most popular. Something a little more low-key? Tour the Absecon Lighthouse, New Jersey’s tallest, or browse shops at The Quarter at Tropicana, an indoor mall with an Old Havana theme. And, though the March weather will likely dissuade you from taking a dip, a sunset-lit stroll on the beach is never a bad way to spend an evening.

MARCH 28–30. If you need an excuse to escape to sunny Florida during an often cold and rainy month, this could be it. Called “the world’s premier electronic music festival,” this three-day event brings elite DJs with unparalleled production (Calvin Harris and RL Grime are top names) from all around the world to Miami. Each day of the event feels like an endless party, with huge stadiums, big crowds, beautiful beaches and thudding music. Ultra also goes all out with the lights and pyrotechnics, making each performance an epic, unforgettable mix of visuals and sound. Passes that cover all three days start at $450. After the music. March in Florida typically hovers in the mid-70s. While native Floridians may call that chilly, it surely sounds like heaven to someone coming off a New Jersey winter. Stop by one of the city’s many beaches and soak up some sun. More outdoor adventures? Kayak or paddleboard through Oleta River State Park. (Guided tours are offered.) Want more of the glitz and the glam instead? Miami’s nightlife scene is legendary, and shopping destinations such as Brickell City Centre and Aventura Mall combine art, food, beautifully designed spaces and sought-after brands for the perfect afternoon. More info: ultramusicfestival.com
Held in some of this city’s most historic sections, this family-friendly weekend celebrates folk music of all cultures, from bluegrass and Americana to Celtic to Latin and Mexican styles. Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble and Connie Brannock & The Little House of Funk Blues Edition are two names among the headliners, and more than 150 performances will be held over these three days. There are also shows for local and regional artists, a very popular Young Artist Showcase, songwriting competitions and more, spread across six stages and surrounded by food trucks and vendors. This event is free.
After the music. If you love golf, you already know about Tucson—golf pros and PGA tours have been swinging by here since 1945. With more than 40 courses in the region, players of all skill levels will find something to love and a place to play. (Try La Paloma Country Club, a noted pro favorite.) If you’re looking to soak in the majesty of the desert, visit the Tucson Botanical Gardens, which boast five-and-a-half acres of plants from dry climates around the world. While there, feast your eyes on the colors of the Cox Butterfly and Orchid Pavilion, which is open annually from October to May.

Whether hot or cold, but these soups bring garden-fresh flavor—and they’re nutricious too.
Yields 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
n 4 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
n 2 cups sparkling water n ¼ cups extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish n 3 ice cubes
n kosher salt
n black pepper, freshly ground
n ¼ cup small basil leaves
n 4 red radishes, thinly sliced
n 15-20 thin slices of seeded bread, toasted, for garnish
n 1 tsp. ground merkén chile flaky salt
DIRECTIONS
Cut the flesh of one avocado into cubes and set aside.
In a blender, purée the remaining avocados with the sparkling water, oil, ice, and salt and black pepper to taste.
Pour the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved avocado, basil, radishes, toasts, merkén, more oil and flaky salt.
“Chilled avocado soup is a nutrient-dense dish rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, primarily from the avocados and olive oil, which help support cardiovascular health. The sparkling water and ice cubes create a refreshing, low-calorie base, making it a hydrating option. Pairing it with seeded bread adds a source of fiber, which aids digestion and promotes satiety.”
—Bess Berger, registered dietitian nutritionist, Nutrition By Bess, Teaneck
Yields 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
n 1/4 cup olive oil
n 2 large onions, finely chopped
n 2 celery stalks, chopped
n 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
n kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
n 2 cups raw cashews
n 2 Tbs. raw or light brown sugar
n 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
n 2 lbs. frozen sugar snap or green
peas, thawed
n 1 Tbs. malt vinegar
n scallions, thinly sliced, and crushed potato chips (for serving)
DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions, celery and garlic, and cook, stirring often and adding a splash or so of water if the bottom of pan gets too brown, until golden brown, 30–40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add cashews, sugar, red pepper flakes and 3 cups water and bring mixture to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are very soft and losing their structure, 10–15 minutes.
Blend one-third of sugar snap peas with one-third of vegetable mixture in a blender, adding some cooking liquid from vegetable mixture as needed to thin, until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Press purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Working in 2 batches, repeat with remaining peas and vegetable mixture, adding water as needed if you run out of cooking liquid. If soup is still very thick, thin with water until you get a velvety, pourable consistency. (You should have about 7 cups soup.)
Stir vinegar into soup; season with more salt and pepper and warm over medium-low heat until heated through.
Serve soup topped with scallions and potato chips.
“Raw cashews add a nice consistency and creaminess to this soup without the traditional use of heavy cream. Not only that, but they’re packed with fiber, protein and heart-healthy fats.”
Lauren Torrisi-Gorra, registered dietitian nutritionist, Forme Nutrition, Franklin Lakes
BERGEN COUNTY IS HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT AND SOUGHT-AFTER PHYSICIANS IN THE COUNTRY.
To help you find the best of the best, across more than 60 specialties, Bergen magazine commissioned Professional Research Services (PRS) of Troy, Michigan to conduct a peer-review survey of thousands of practicing and active physicians across the county. Doctors were asked to select peers whom they deem are the best within their practice areas and whom they would seek out for particular procedures.
All the final honorees were fact-checked with the State of New Jersey and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System. The highest vote getters within each specialty who are in good standing with the state are included here in the 2025 “Bergen County’s Top Doctors” list.
While not every outstanding area doctor is listed in the 2025 “Bergen County Top Doctors” list, we think you will find it to be a valuable resource in the future for all your physician needs.

RIDGEWOOD ORTHOPEDIC GROUP IS A FULL SERVICE ORTHOPEDIC PRACTICE that has been serving patients in New Jersey for over 40 years. They have proudly partnered with six of the state’s largest and most prestigious orthopedic practices to form OrthoNJ. As a division of OrthoNJ, Ridgewood Orthopedic Group has expanded its reach— Ridgewood to Cape May—as well as its access to the very best minds and resources in orthopedic care. In helping to create this entity, Ridgewood Orthopedic Group has furthered its philosophy in bringing world-class care to patients right here in Bergen County.
At Ridgewood Orthopedic Group, patients of all ages receive technologically advanced medical care for conditions that involve sports medicine, hip and knee replacement, back and neck ailments, arthritis,
and bone fractures including foot and ankle and hand and wrist surgeries. All 10 physicians are fellowship-trained, differentiating and advancing their skill set to develop expertise in a specific orthopedic sub-specialty.
As leaders in their field, the surgeons stay one step ahead of the evolving research and emerging developments always with their patient’s best interest at heart. Their initial approach to treat a variety of conditions, injuries and diseases and to mitigate pain is conservative, however, when necessary each surgeon has the skills to handle the most complex procedures. In 2000, Ridgewood Orthopedic Group was recognized for their groundbreaking work in robotic total joint replacement surgery. Dr. Anthony J. Delfico, the practice’s managing partner, and OrthoNJ’s president, performed the first robotic knee replacement in Bergen County.
“I am extremely proud of the team we’ve built and the many “firsts” that we’ve accomplished. But, I am most proud of our commitment to quality care and our dedication to continuously learn and advance our skills, always practicing with integrity, vision and the highest standards of professionalism,” says Dr. Delfico. He along with Drs. DePalma, Dizdarevic, and Pizzurro, are highly skilled in using robotic surgery to perform total joint replacements. Benefits of robotic surgery include higher accuracy and the ability to precisely plan implant positioning to best fit the patient’s anatomy.
Ridgewood Orthopedic Group is also highly experienced in the practice of pain management. Dr. Lauren Terranova, fellowship trained in diagnostic and therapeutic musculoskeletal ultrasound, has received awards for her
work in pain management ultrasound guided injections. She believes in a holistic approach and uses conservative measures to restore function, relieve pain, and maximize the quality of life of her patients.

REPEATEDLY HONORED AS A PREMIERE CATARACT SURGEON AND EYE CARE PROVIDER, Dr. Scott Pomerantz has worked in Bergen County for over 25 years. With offices in Paramus and Franklin Lakes, he has been dedicated to providing his community and the surrounding areas with exceptional eye care. Dr. Pomerantz, his fellow associates and his Metro Eye Care staff provide state-of-the-art eye care in an environment that is uniquely warm and welcoming to all of their patients. No patient is treated as a number or fit into a particular mold.
A board-certified ophthalmologist and member of the Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, Dr. Pomerantz is a top cataract surgeon in the area. As one of the first doctors in Bergen County to offer laser assisted cataract surgery, he provides a gentle, highly-customized cataract procedure with precision that cannot be achieved with traditional manual techniques, allowing for astigmatism correction with improved accuracy.
Metro Eye Care is constantly updating with the newest technology, such as advanced imaging technology that builds a 3D map of each eye, tailoring treatment to that map, and enabling Dr. Pomerantz to create a customized treatment plan that matches the uniqueness of each eye. Dr. Pomerantz also utilizes a “dropless” cataract surgery, in which a combination of medications is inserted directly into the patient’s eye at the conclusion of the surgery. This is more effective, minimizes the necessary number of post-operative drops, is more convenient for the patients and significantly reduces out- of-pocket expenses.
Dr. Pomerantz is joined by his fellow cataract and refractive surgeon, Dr. Sejal Patel. She is also a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist and head of our dry eye center. Dr. Mark Goldfarb, Dr. Thomas LoPresti and Dr. James Cindrario round out the Metro Eye Care team.

Even on a too-busy night, Sweet T’s Southern Eatery in Teaneck comes through with the delicious taste of Dixie.
We were in the heart of the Poconos in early January when my girlfriend and I both had a hankering for Southern cooking. After a morning of skiing, the taste of something hearty and homemade is what we craved, and we stumbled upon a spot that fed our souls. I ate biscuits and gravy; she had chicken and waffles.
While those dishes were good, my appetite for great, Southern-inspired food wasn’t quite satisfied. So when Sweet T’s Southern Eatery scheduled the grand opening of its Teaneck location for early February, I immediately made a reservation. I quickly learned that many others had too.
Owners Dre Perrin and Tonza Houston opened Sweet T’s Montclair restaurant in 2021, and they’ve operated a ghost kitchen in Teaneck for the past year. The debut of the new brick-andmortar spot was widely anticipated—it’s not every day a restaurant pledging authentic and healthy Southern food opens in Bergen County.
My girlfriend and I had a corner table on the Sunday of opening weekend. The restaurant was packed, a positive sign for any new business, but it made for a tight squeeze as we made our way to our seats. There were also several folks crowding the entryway as they waited for takeout orders. (Having been a ghost kitchen for a year, Sweet T’s already had a loyal following.)
After we browsed the menus for nearly 20 minutes, our server, who was occupied with other tables, finally took our order. Sweet T’s is BYOB, but we opted to enjoy a mocktail and, of course, sweet tea: A peach cobbler sweet tea for her, the Blu (lemonade, muddled blueberries and seltzer) for me. I’d ordinarily imbibe either a cold brew or cocktail during a night out, but boy, was I right to go with the Blu. Both beverages, in fact, were outstanding, neither too sweet nor overly fruity.
We were sure our food choices would be just as pleasing. But the reality was that Sweet T’s hadn’t anticipated the large turnout, nor had it expected the influx of takeout orders for opening weekend. That meant that much of what we wanted from the menu wasn’t available for our 6 p.m. seating: no Sweet T’s barbecue chicken, no catfish, no cornbread, no collard greens, no candied yams, no sweet potatoes, no banana pudding. To make
matters worse, the kitchen fell behind. We—like the table next to us—didn’t get our first taste of food until well over an hour had passed since we’d ordered. Yikes! (Note: Some who’d waited just as long canceled their orders and walked out. For the sake of this review, we stuck around, and the owners kindly extended their apologies by comping our drinks and dessert to-go.)
Fortunately, our experience was about to turn a 180. They say good food heals the soul, and our spirits were quickly mended. Our first appetizer, Georgia-style okra, was an overflowing bowl of the golden fried green. The breading was perfectly seasoned and crisp, while the okra itself had a healthy snap. An accompanying spicy aioli wasn’t very hot, and we used it sparingly because the okra on its own was to die for. Our second appetizer, Sweet T’s fried shrimp, had the same breading as the okra and was just as palatable. We’d ordinarily avoid two fried dishes, but our other options were sold out.
I got exactly what I wanted out of my entree: Sweet T’s 1-pound Texas braised beef short rib. One can taste the care that went into the 12-hour process of seasoning, searing and gently braising the massive rib. The meat was fall-offthe-bone tender and delicious, easily one of the best short ribs I’ve tried in a long time. It comes with a side of Sweet T’s famous macaroni and cheese, and I also opted for black-eyed peas with chicken sausage as an additional side. Both were exceptional, and I’d consider a full-sized mac and cheese in the future.
My girlfriend settled for the Birmingham salmon (she originally wanted the barbecue chicken), but she quickly learned the fish was a worthy choice. The baked salmon had plenty of flavor thanks to the light barbecue-sauce glaze, and the fish itself was cooked well. Her two side dishes, coleslaw and some of the thickest-cut potato wedges we’d ever seen, also scored high marks.
The quality of the food almost made us forget the regretful start, and we’re certain this location of Sweet T’s will iron out the early jitters. Even if it takes a while, I’ll still come back—great Southern food is worth a wait.
