Montvale Restauranteur Experiences Love At First Bite
MONTVALE, N.J. — It's not often that Wyckoff resident Paul Sanford experiences love at first bite. The self-styled foodie says he was instantly hooked on California Tortillas' fresh food and varied menu options three years ago -- so hooked that he couldn't live without them. Sanford opened the first of the North Jersey California Tortillas chain in Montvale last winter and is set to bring another to River Edge mid-January. "It's not like Chipotle, where you point and grunt," said Sanford, who also works at a wine importing company across the street from his Chestnut Ridge Road ea…

Wyckoff Yogi Teaches Expecting Moms Techniques For Birthing Table
WYCKOFF, N.J. — The techniques that Karen Calabrese practiced in Cecilia Rivera’s Wyckoff prenatal yoga classes kept her cool as a cucumber right up until her C-section. With her legs crossed beneath her and her hands on her knees, Calabrese, of Mahwah, kept her muscles and mind at ease on the birthing table moments before doctors injected anesthesia into her spine. "The nurse asked the doctor if I was allowed to sit like that," Calabrese said. "He said he'd never seen a woman sit more still." Formerly a full-time accountant, Rivera, of Hawthorne, became a certified yog…

Lyndhurst Emergency Squad 'Saves' Zumba Classes
LYNDHURST, N.J. — Township resident Natalia Novoa is giving back to the Lyndhurst Police Emergency Squad through Zumba fitness and meditation classes.

Ridgewood Pizza Store Offers Neapolitan Experience
RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — Naples, Italy, thrives on the outskirts of downtown Ridgewood in a pizzeria where everything is made A Mano — by hand. Butternut squash, pistachio pesto and truffled cheese spreads might make A Mano’s menu seem overwhelming at first glance. So general manager John Lugano suggests newcomers ease in with a familiar margherita pie. “The idea of Neapolitan style is basic and simple,” said Lugano, whose restaurant is at the corner of Franklin Avenue and Chestnut Street. “Margherita is the basic pizza, and then they get more adventurous." A Mano is the only pizzeria in New…
