KNOW YOUR VILLAGE HISTORY: Elizabeth Hawes was an innovative fashion designer born in Ridgewood in 1903. She was an outspoken critic of the fashion industry, champion of ”ready to wear” and author of the book Fashion Is Spinach, published in 1938. After she graduated from RHS, she went to Vassar where she excelled in mathematics, chemistry and economics. Her interest in fashion compelled her to move to Paris in 1925 where she developed her method of designing by draping fabric on a wooden mannequin. Hawes returned to New York in 1928 where she was among the first Americans to establish their reputations outside of Paris haute couture. She was also a journalist, union organizer, champion of gender equality, and political activist. Elizabeth’s mother was education pioneer, Henrietta Hawes (yes, the elementary school!) whose wedding trousseau, bought in Paris, can be viewed at the current exhibit at Ridgewood Historical Society’s Schoolhouse Museum.

Restaurants such as Dim Sum Dynasty, Bamboo House, and Truly Sichuan Restaurant offer such Asian foods and you will easily find dishes to suit a vegetarian diet. Some of them offer parking nearby and even food delivery services in case you’re too tired to go out.
If you don’t want to limit your culinary adventure only to the Asian cuisine, you can also try European dishes such as the Spanish ones at El CID Restaurant. Although it is a few miles away from Ridgewood, it is worth trying if you’re into seafood yet you don’t have enough time to prepare seafood dishes at home or your ultralight casting rods didn’t get you the catch you wanted.

La Lanterna is where you can flavor your travel with Italian dishes such as traditional pasta whereas Latour will help you spice up special occasions with attentively and skillfully prepared French dishes.

Located only 20 miles away from Midtown Manhattan, New York City, this small village from New Jersey has seen an increase in population in the past decades.

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Emergency Services wants to congratulate the 11 Ridgewood High School Volunteer members on their graduation from Ridgewood High School.
Captain Corrine Scarpa said that this is a “group of students that we are very proud of, one of our largest groups graduating in recent years. These members will be attending such colleges as: Rutgers, Quinnipiac University, University of South Carolina, Villanova University, Cornell University, NYU, and George Washington University. They were the recipients of many awards and honors at the Graduation.”
“Funny – this was suggested by the Aronsohn administration. “If you want to have your opinion heard, run for office”. Suggesting that only those on the dais get to air their point of view. Seems that Mr. Voigt subscribes to this idea as well. I don’t know Mr. Kim and I don’t always agree with him, but his opinions are generally well researched and presented in a civil way. Seems like we need more of that not less.”
Kim rarely ever finds the good in the town or in people, you never see him around town at the pride event, gun violence and awareness, daffodils festivities at van ness, seen at resturants, seen at any park or graydon. Does he volunteer anywhere? Not sure the motivation but it’s very disruptive. If he knows better, perhaps he should run for an open seat upfront, not preaching from the back seat.
Ridgewood NJ, on Saturday, several OLMC parishioners attended a five hour training at the Archdiocesan Youth Retreat Center in Kearny.

Thank you to Tom East of the Center for Ministry Development for being our trainer today and for being the project’s overall coordinator.
“Wtf? Is Susan the mole that feeds you this stuff since you(James) are banned from the group. She should be banned from Ridgewood Moms and dads. She’s a rat and most certainly looks like one too. Cannot wait for her Trump loving butt to be gone. Stringy hair, bad clothing, halitosis, and rotten teeth. Gross.”
Ridgewood NJ, Theresa Troise Heidel did a watercolor demonstration today, at the Ridgewood Art Institute following the Annual Members Meeting. Theresa is primarily a Plein Air Painter, but for this demo she worked from a photo and value sketches she had done on location. One of the most valuable perks of being an RAI Member, is what we can learn from each other as an Art Community.
Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood native Ali Stroker made history Sunday night as the first actor in a wheelchair to capture a Tony Award. She earned the trophy for her portrayal of Ado Annie in Daniel Fish’s dark revisionist revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “Oklahoma!
The 31-year-old Stroker, who was the first person in a wheelchair to appear on Broadway back in 2015 in “Spring Awakening,” was paralyzed from the chest down due to a car crash when she was 2.
Stroker said when she sings, she has “no limitations.”
