ED ITO R’S N OT E OCT WELCOME TO THE ISSUE 2023 NORTH SHORE NOTABLES Growing up just outside of Boston, I loved to listen to Kiss 108 in the mornings before school. Billy Costa ran the entertainment report on “Matty in the Morning” and hosted the top 30 countdown on Saturdays. Every Saturday after the countdown at noon, the station played Rose Royce’s “Wishing on a Star.” No matter where I was or what I was doing, I would stop everything to listen. I moved away from Boston when I was 18 to go explore the world, but I never forgot the radio show that got me going in the morning and played one of my favorite songs every week at the same time without fail. When I moved home more than a decade later, Billy was still on the radio, now side by side with Matty Siegal and Lisa Donovan. It was like a homecoming, listening to these familiar voices from my childhood. To this day, I still tune in to hear Billy and Lisa on my morning commute. The fun banter between the duo lets me know that somehow the day will be okay. I got to meet Billy Costa at one of our BONS events a few years back, and he is just as personable in person as he is across the air waves. We have the honor of including Billy in our Movers & Shakers story in this issue. Each individual featured helps to shape our community—whether it is by land development, job creation, philanthropic endeavors, or elevating our culture and arts scene. Also in this issue and in honor of Oktoberfest, we visit gastropubs offering delicious fall dishes paired perfectly with local brews, showcase one of the first womenowned breweries on the North Shore, and highlight Notch’s nonalcoholic beer. We also report on the latest happenings at the PEM, including the Salem Witch Trials exhibit, as well as offering a roundup of fun things to do in the region throughout October.

OCT 2023 Gloucester’s new dining experience, Woman-owned brewery, zero-proof brews Lobster carbonara at Decklyn’s in Gloucester. CLASSIC FARE Decklyn’s elevates traditional New England seafood. BY JEANNE O’BRIEN COFFEY 16 OCTOBER 2023 PHOTOGRAPH BY ANTHONY TIEULI

EAT + D RINK Clockwise form left, Clam Chowda, Mussels, outdoor dining on the deck, and the Lobster Salad There are times when you just deserve a bowl of pure indulgence. At that moment, you should head directly to Decklyn’s in Gloucester to order the Lobster Carbonara—a decadent mix of parmesan cheese and blistered cherry tomatoes, topped with chunks of lobster, crisps of house-made bacon, and a soft-poached egg. Break the yolk and toss it with the al dente rigatoni—ribbed to catch the sauce—and be happy you live on the North Shore. Thoughtful handling of classic New England seafood is a hallmark of this waterfront spot. As at sister restaurant C.K. Pearl in Essex, diners find a mix of wellexecuted favorites like clam chowder and baked haddock, alongside surprises like that lobster dish and mussels with an Asian flair. Like the lobster carbonara, the mussels will be familiar to fans of C.K. Pearl. Diners often request the recipe, but that’s a secret. Just know that the bivalves, bathed in a red curry coconut cream sauce, have a gentle kick of heat and are dotted with kernels of fresh corn and cilantro. You’ll want a spoon—or maybe some extra bread—to soak up every drop of the broth. Of course, a spoon is critical for Declyn’s “Clam Chowda.” It’s a good consistency, thick enough to support the garnish of fried clams and crispy potato chunks resting on top. The dish gets a nice smokiness from generous chunks of house-cured pork belly. That’s not the only classic getting an upgrade. The old school Fisherman’s Platter looks familiar, with scallops, clams, oysters, and haddock all lightly breaded, moist, and fresh. But the side of house-made THE MENU Chowda $8, Mussels $17, Fisherman’s platter $MKT, Lobster Carbonara $MKT, Skillet Cookie $12 18 OCTOBER 2023 NORTHSHOREMAG.COM “tarta’” sauce is a sophisticated take on the classic, blended smooth and made with mayo, pickles, capers, vinegar, chopped herbs, and lemon zest.

Owner Patrick Shea grew up in Essex, working in his family’s restaurant, then attended culinary school and worked his way through some of Boston’s top restaurants before returning to the North Shore. Decklyn’s is named for his youngest daughter. (Insiders will know that the C.K. in C.K. Pearl stands for his two older daughters, Copley and Kennlee.) The combination of the two chefs brings a blend of casual and sophisticated that makes Decklyn’s flexible enough for a regular weeknight meal of burgers or fish tacos, or a splash-out. The cozy window-lined dining room, formerly Captain Carlo’s restaurant, offers Gloucester marina views while a vast deck brings the party (follow Decklyn’s social media—there might be live music), and large sliding doors erase the division between the two whenever the weather is nice.

The drinks list includes a selection of local beers, and a thoughtful wine list, making it easy to swing from weeknight drinks to a special occasion. Cocktails have a beachy vibe that’s perfect for sipping on the deck. Need a bit more indulgence?

EAT + D R INK RINK Notch’s nonalcoholic brews. NO PROOF Notch Brewing launches a pair of nonalcoholic beers. BY JEANNE O’BRIEN COFFEY Pilsner seems simple. The pale lager, light and refreshing, is the beer of choice at ballgames, on hot summer days, or with sweet-spicy Asian food or barbeque. But that easy-drinking style belies a whole lot of craft. “Pilsner is very delicate beer,” says Chris Lohring, founder of Notch Brewing in Salem. “So, if there are any variables that would impact the flavor, they are going to show right away in a pilsner.” A massive variable? Removing the alcohol to create a zero-proof option. Yet despite the high degree of difficulty, a nonalcoholic pilsner was likely always in the cards for this brewery, which has focused primarily on low- and moderate-alcohol session-style beers for its 13-year history. “I think it was a natural extension for what Notch has been doing,” says Lohring. “A lot of people come to Notch because they want to have the experience of drinking beer but don’t want to have a higher-alcohol beer or want to be able to have a couple. For that reason, I think [nonalcoholic beer] made more sense for us than for a lot of folks.” Back in 2010, Notch was at the forefront of what has become a vast sea-change, with more and more people seeking lowerproof adult beverages every year. And the experience of crafting beers full of flavor with less alcohol provided a boost when it came to removing the booze entirely. “We discovered that a lot of what we’ve been doing at Notch for over a decade, making modest alcohol beers, could be applied to nonalcoholic beer,” Lohring says, noting that it took three years of experimenting with a variety of methods to preserve the flavors and experience of drinking beer without the alcohol. Every part of the process—the way they treat the water, the way they ferment the beer, the types of sugars that they create, and the fermentability of those sugars—all contributed to being able to preserve that experience. “One of the big detriments of most nonalcoholic beers is that people call them thin,” Lohring says. “Alcohol [lends] perceived sweetness and body. When you remove it, you’re left with something that doesn’t taste as full. And, so, you need to supplement that with something else.” The Notch team faced a similar challenge when crafting modest-alcohol beers, Lohring says—and years of experimentation and experience led them to create sugars that are nonfermentable, along with water treatments that create palate fullness, both of which contribute big mouthfeel despite lower alcohol content. “It was basically us taking our skill at making beers with alcohol and melding that with newer technology to come up with an NA that tastes like a beer,” he explains. All that expertise, combined with a stateof-the-art membrane filtration system, has led to a pair of brews—Notch Non-Alcoholic Craft Pils and Notch Non-Alcoholic Hazy IPA— that are rich in flavor without the alcohol. “I’m happy with the beers, because I’ve been brewing professionally for 30 years, and while I still like the habit of coming home and cracking open a beer, I don’t always want the alcohol,” Lohring says. He’s not alone. The beer has been flying off the shelves in local stores and is very popular at both the Salem and Brighton taprooms.. “They’ve been really successful in a way I never envisioned,” he says. The customers are a mix of people who are choosing not to drink alcohol, those who are cutting calories, and those who want to hang out socially but want to take a round off. “People are thrilled that they can come in to a social environment and drink a beer, yet not have alcohol.” CONTACT 283R Derby Street, Salem, 978-412-7674, notchbrewing.com 22 OCTOBER 2023 NORTHSHOREMAG.COM PHOTOGRAPH BY ROB HUGHES

EAT + D R INK RINK Kim McNamara and Erica Tritta A TWIST OF FATE A woman-owned brewery comes to Danvers. BY ANDREW CRUMP Of the 9,709 breweries currently operating in the U.S., only 23 percent are owned by women in tandem with male colleagues. If that statistic gives you a jolt, here’s another: Only 2 percent of all breweries are fully women-owned. Put a spotlight on a state as small as Massachusetts, and the gender disparity balloons. While Massachusetts is home to a respectable number of breweries co-owned by women—Trillium Brewing Company, Bone Up Brewing Co., and Lost Shoe Brewing and 24 OCTOBER 2023 Roasting Company, to name a few—the total of women-owned breweries is considerably smaller, comprising establishments like CraftRoots Brewing and Redemption Rock Brewing Co. That tally ticked up by one in April 2022, when Twisted Fate Brewing, the first brewery and taproom in Danvers, opened its doors to the public. The brewery’s status as majority female-owned is the first detail that deserves noting. The second is its family dynamic: Brother-sister duo David Pinette NORTHSHOREMAG.COM and Kim McNamara co-own the company along with their spouses, Erica Tritta and Bill McNamara, respectively; Kim and Tritta own a majority interest combined. Any armchair business consultant will blurt the old saw that one should never go into business with family and list the challenges that face women running businesses in traditionally male-dominated industries. Those people haven’t met the Twisted Fate team, for whom the womenowned and family-owned designations are their greatest assets. “We all have the same goal, which is to be as successful as possible, right?” says Tritta. “And you think, ‘Well, that’s obvious,’ but it’s not always obvious in some small businesses I’ve known to exist. Everyone has their agenda.” With Twisted Fate, there’s just one agenda: Making great beer in a comfortable, inviting setting, where good times can be had by everyone and anyone. If you have walked into just about any brewery in Massachusetts, it’s likely you have found yourself wading in a sea of white men. They, of course, are welcome at Twisted Fate, but Pinette, Tritta, and the McNamaras strive for inclusion, in every aspect of the brewery’s function. Until recently, for example, the taproom was fully staffed by women, excepting Bill and Dave, and the taproom regularly hosts women’s groups, notably the Pink Boots Society, a nonprofit organization advocating for women’s participation and presence in the beer industry. The presence of women on both sides of the bar is like a pressure valve release: It makes the experience much less intimidating than the standard dudeheavy brewery atmosphere. “To toot our own horn, when women come in, they feel comfortable coming in,” says Kim. No one feels like they’re going to stand out with more equitable gender balance. “I’ve had women come in, people come in, and comment on it too,” Kim adds. “Like, ‘We love that this is woman-owned.’ We’re still getting a lot of new customers, too.” And when those customers come in, they inevitably ask about Twisted Fate’s background as a majority women-owned brewery. “They like to hear that it’s different,” she says. “Two percent in the country, and we’re one of them? I love that. That makes me feel even better.” PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANTHONY TIEULI

EAT + D RINK In large part this dynamic—the comforting atmosphere, the inclusion, the conviviality—is a product of that difference, because in the broadly homogenized craft beer culture, a little difference goes a long way. What may be more surprising for some are the ways that the Twisted Fate crew’s admitted lack of industry experience has aided that inclusive agenda. “We didn’t have anyone telling us, ‘This is the right way, this is the wrong way,’” says Pinette. In his case, the “right way” meant hiring Ashley DeFuria as his assistant brewer. (A third statistic: Only 11 percent of brewers in the U.S. are women.) “One of the first things I said to Ashley was, ‘I don’t know how other breweries do things, but this is how we do it here,’” he explains. “And you know, it’s working, so this is how we’re gonna continue to do it.” It’s a profound point. Any industry where men have called the shots and made the rules will have guardrails in place against hiring women in key jobs. There’s value in knowing the ropes of your industry; there’s also value in spinning your own ropes. Bill takes satisfaction in DeFuria’s role in Twisted Fate. Her position in the brewery lets the team buck old craft brewing conventions. “As a business owner, having somebody in a very male-dominated area move into that space very quickly and be very successful at it, it’s prideful,” he says. “We’re opening doors for other people to say, ‘Hey, it doesn’t have to be just a male-dominated role.’” That pride is shared among him, Kim, Pinette, and Tritta, and trickles into every aspect of Twisted Fate’s operation, right down to the bathroom amenities: Tritta points out that unlike many breweries, or for that matter most businesses, theirs include feminine products. This feels almost revolutionary, but, as Tritta puts it, “It’s not that hard!” In fact, Twisted Fate’s women-owned side almost sounds as if it comes more easily than the family-owned side. But anyone considering going into business with their siblings or spouses could learn from Pinette, Tritta, and the McNamaras. “I would say 95 percent of the time, we’ve agreed,” says Kim. As to the other 5 percent, she says, “we’re not gonna agree on everything, but we work it out.” It helps that from the very start, each of them felt the same Below, David Pinette and Bill McNamara desire to work together, especially Pinette. “I wanted to go into business with my family and friends, and I wanted to be successful with them,” he confesses, as if defying every warning against doing so. As the person who dreamed of opening a brewery, and as the resident home brewer, Pinette had, and still has, a lot on his shoulders. Being an IPA-forward brewery has clear advantages: IPA is still king in the craft beer world, even considering the current hunger for lagers expressed by consumers who want options. “That’s what gets people in the door,” he says, “and that’s what we all like to drink.” Pinette managed to get his hands on Nectaron, one of the more coveted and hard-to-get hops du jour, for the I Won’t Let You Down IPA, while Kim is fond of My Promises Are Lies Tonight, which features the somewhat more polarizing Sabro hop. (If CONTACT twistedfatebrewing.com 26 OCTOBER 2023 NORTHSHOREMAG.COM “shaving cream with lime zest” sounds good to you, this is your beer.) But just as it’s important for people to feel at ease when they’re visiting the taproom, it’s important that they find something on the tap list that they want. To that end, Twisted Fate has several lagers on tap, like Papa Pils, plus their TFB Hefeweizen, a Kölsch called Relax, You’ll Live Longer, and in acknowledgment of pumpkin spice season, Mature Winter Squash Ale—a respectable variety for the group’s having only a year and a half of brewing under their belts. Pinette, Tritta, and the McNamaras took a gamble going in on Twisted Fate together. If anything, however, as the brewery itself grows, that familial bond grows stronger, and they’re passing that bond on to their customers with one of the North Shore region’s all-embracing breweries.

Stretching along three sandy miles, Revere Beach was the first public beach in the United States and remains a major attraction for the small city just north of Boston. It still offers free parking, keeping alive its reputation as the “people’s beach.” It hosts an annual sandsculpting competition, a kiteboarding school, and hundreds of thousands of beachgoers each year. Start walking inland, however, and you’ll see there’s far more to Revere than its renowned sand and sea. This traditionally Irish and Italian working-class suburb has been evolving over the past decade and today offers upscale dining, vibrant nightlife, and a bustling multicultural commercial district. “Revere is going through a renaissance right now,” says Erica Porzio, executive director of the Revere Chamber of Commerce. “That’s the perfect word for it—this is a rebirth.” Change is not new to Revere. The area was first settled by Europeans in 1624 and was occupied mainly by farmland for the next two centuries. Then, in 1838 and again in 1875, the completion of new railroads sparked growth. By the 1880s, investors were opening resorts in the town and in 1896 the beach opened as a public destination. Throughout the 1920s, it 30 OCTOBER 2023 was a popular destination filled with ballrooms, roller coasters, and restaurants. From the midcentury on, however, a series of natural disasters and financial difficulties kept the area from being all it once was. Over the past decade or so, however, the city has been changing again, this time recapturing some of its former distinction. Perhaps the most visible change has been the development along the waterfront. In recent years, high-end apartment complexes have gone up on previously empty lots. The buildings have drawn new residents and new amenities. Restaurateur Michael Aldi has opened three restaurants in these developments—Dryft, Fine Line, and Cut 21. Mission Beach House—run by a restaurant group with other popular destinations in Beverly, Newburyport, and Swampscott—opened in the same area last year. “If you haven’t been to Revere Beach since 2018, you just don’t understand the nightlife that’s there now,” says Charlie Giuffrida, the city’s director of travel and tourism. “I just love hearing how astounded people are.” At the same time, an influx of migrants has created an exciting cultural richness.

As of 2020, an estimated 41 percent of Revere residents were born outside the United States. “We’ve seen a beautiful diversification of people,” Porzio says. This burgeoning multiculturalism is much in evidence on Shirley Avenue, the city’s main downtown area, which runs from Route 1A almost down to the waterfront. Once a rundown, unappealing stretch, the neighborhood has been revitalized in recent years: New apartment buildings have been popping up, and state funds have widened sidewalks and added trees and lighting. New businesses and restaurants are opening, reflecting the international influences in the neighborhood. Visitors can sample Mexican street food at Esquite, sip fresh juices at F&J Juice Bar Café, or step off the main drag to explore Moroccan flavors at Sabrine Bakery & Café. “Shirley Ave. has now become a real cultural epicenter in Revere,” says acting mayor Patrick Keefe.

My Hands Are Clean 4, 2017, thread and fabric appliqué on canvas, courtesy of Claire Oliver and Ian Rubinstein, ©Gio Swaby, photograph by Ian Rubinstein The domestic arts of sewing, embroidery, and quilting result in beautiful, intricate creations that are bright, colorful, and intimate. But they’ve also been long associated with women and the home, and haven’t been given the wider artistic attention they deserve. Black women, too, are often overlooked, ignored, and left out of the rarefied world of fine art. That’s not the case this fall at the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM), which is showcasing 12 textile-based portraits by Gio Swaby, a young Bahamian-Canadian artist who uses fabric and thread to create colorful images of the women in her life. The results are riotously colorful and intricately created portraits that 36 OCTOBER 2023 Swaby has called “love letters to Black women and girls.” The exhibition, “Gio Swaby: Fresh Up,” is Swaby’s first solo museum show, and its PEM run marks the show’s New England debut. It’s on view through November 26. According to PEM curator Lydia Peabody, the portraits include Swaby’s friends, family, and herself, and the first step in the creation of each portrait is photographic. Swaby invites her friends and sisters into her studio for a photo shoot, during which they’re asked to wear clothing that makes them feel confident and comfortable. “There’s a really beautiful exchange and intimacy that takes place in this interaction,” Peabody says. These images serve as the basis for the portraits, which are sewn onto canvas and often incorporate Bahamian fabrics. “There’s no paint or drawing in any of these portraits. It’s all thread and fabric, and she is selecting fabric that speaks to the energy of the subject, as well as . . . a story or NORTHSHOREMAG.COM something that connects the two of them,” Peabody says. “These are women that she’s known her whole life.” Another unique aspect to Swaby’s art is the way some of the portraits are presented from the underside, rather than the “clean” finished side that we typically see in quilted pieces. In exhibiting the underside, Swaby shows the viewer all the loose threads, knots, and imperfections that are usually kept hidden, both in art and in ourselves. This way of exhibiting speaks to the raw humanity and strength that comes from embracing and showing our full, inner selves, flaws and all. “She’s choosing that side to display, so there’s a lot of vulnerability in sharing this imperfect side,” Peabody says. The resulting portraits—some smaller, some life-sized—are bright, avant-garde, fresh, and lively. And all of them are what Peabody calls “a celebration of self-expression” and “a cultivation of love.” The art itself and the way it’s exhibited within PEM is creating a space for people to PHOTOGRAPH, TOP RIGHT BY ANTHONY GEBREHIWOT/ © 2023 PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM

The work is presented in a way that’s quieter and smaller in scale at first, then grows to a crescendo before going back down into a more detailed body of work, giving the “energy of being loved, exactly how you are. “That to me was something that was really powerful, and I think, as a woman, is . . . a message that is really transformative,” Peabody says. People are also encouraged to interact with the exhibition. For instance, Swaby created a playlist for the exhibition that includes fun, meaningful songs from artists including Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, Lizzo, Aretha Franklin, Solange, and others. “Get ready to dance!” Peabody says. “You’ll hear these songs when you enter the gallery . . . it’s really fun.” There are also other ways for visitors to be part of the art, including a love-letter–writing station that encourages people to sit and write a letter and drop it into a little mailbox in the gallery for the museum to mail. There’s also a self-reflection station where visitors can snap a photo of themselves in lightsurrounded mirrors and in front of colorful wallpaper backdrops.

S HOP + RENEW Ipswich resident Edwin Barrow offers a line of high-performance beauty products. ENTREPRENEURIAL BEAUTY Edwin Barrow’s eponymous skincare and makeup line offer high-performance skincare without the high price. BY ALEXANDRA PECCI Ipswich resident Edwin Barrow spent years working in different PR and sales roles for luxury fashion and beauty brands like Gucci, Valentino, Prada, and Sephora. During that time, he noticed an interesting trend: The popularity of “bridge lines” that were created by designers but were less expensive and more accessible than their high-end couture or collection pieces. 44 OCTOBER 2023 “You had a bridge line, which was not as high end, not as expensive, but still had a look that made you feel like you were wearing high end,” he says. That’s exactly what Barrow’s eponymous skincare, makeup, and beauty line achieves. The skincare and makeup products in the EDWIN BARROW line are beautifully crafted, high-performance cosmetics without NORTHSHOREMAG.COM the crazy-high price tag that shoppers might expect. Instead, they’re several steps above drugstore products in terms of performance, quality, and feel, but not as prohibitively expensive as couture beauty-counter brands that sell $55 lipsticks. They’re also paraben free, hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic, and not tested on animals. The makeup products are fragrance free. Even the packaging is attractive, with a look that makes you “feel nice about what you’re pulling out of your bag, what’s on the counter in your bathroom, what’s on your shelf.” “It’s trying to reach out to someone who says, ‘I want something that’s high-end looking and feeling and that works in a high-end way, but doesn’t necessarily have that sticker shock,’” Barrow says. The line is both wide-ranging and focused, with products, pigments, and options for every skin type and tone. On the skincare end, it offers face wash, moisturizer, serum, toner, polish, masks, and body butter. The makeup line is even more extensive, offering lipsticks, gloss, and plumper; shimmer and illuminating powder; mascara; primers; and long-wearing foundations in both liquid and powder formulations. One standout product is the incredibly versatile Hi-Def Pigments, which are highly pigmented crushed minerals that can be used in ways ranging from eye shadow, to blush, to lip color, and even nail enamel and hair highlights. “It’s a metallic powder that you can put on your cheeks, you can wear it as eyeshadow, you can put it on your collarbone, you can put it on your arms, you can put it in your hair,” Barrow says. “It has a very interesting use. It’s very, very pigmented.” The EDWIN BARROW line performs well, too, offering lipstick that doesn’t feather, antiaging products that tighten and tone, and bright, vibrant pigments that stay in place for hours. “We have a formula that works very well, that does what it says it’s going to do,” Barrow says. EDWIN BARROW skincare and makeup products are available online and in a handful of small, brick-and-mortar stores, among them Houndstooth Consignors in Hamilton. But what makes this line even more distinctive is the personalized experience that clients PHOTOGRAPH BY SARAH JORDAN MCCAFFERY

Barrow splits his time between Ipswich and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and offers private consultations from each location, depending on where he is. When he’s here on the North Shore, clients can visit Barrow at his home at Waldingfield, a historic estate in Ipswich that’s situated on 39.9 acres of land that includes Ipswich River waterfront, trails, and extensive gardens. When people make an appointment, they can access the products directly in a beautiful, personal environment with a one-on-one discussion with Barrow himself. Clients are welcome individually or in very small groups of friends. They might have snacks and wine, along with trying out the products. Rather than being overwhelmed by lots of big, impersonal brands with no meaning or stories behind them, customers get a chance to explore the products, try them on their own skin, and shop with the person behind the product. “That’s what makes us stand out a little bit also, because you’re meeting me personally,” he says. “You’re working directly with the person who has this vision and is passionate about it.” For Barrow, the line is the culmination of a vision brought to vivid, colorful life while offering an experience they can’t get elsewhere. “We wanted to be available, we wanted to provide excellent customer service, and we wanted people to feel like they were having a special experience,” he says. ¡ CONTACT edwinbarrow.com PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY OF EDWIN BARROW 45 OCTOBER 2023

It’s not that we walk around with a badge announcing that we’re in our 40’s or 50’s. Says Dr. Rosy Sandhu, founding director of Neem Medical Spa, “I genuinely believe that staying youthful is an earned privilege. It requires some work from us including healthy self-love, commitment, and dedication to an effective skincare routine.” In addition, collagen stimulating treatments in an office setting, less exposure to the sun, keeping fit in body, mind, and spirit, and eating healthy all contribute to the successful maintenance of healthy skin. Dr. Sandhu practices on the North Shore, and she helped us understand her philosophy on skincare recently. How do I get beautiful skin naturally overnight? Getting a good night’s sleep, adequate water intake, and using a Vitamin C serum followed by a growth factor and retinol can lead to glowing, healthy, and lustrous skin over time. What cosmetic laser treatment is best for my skin? To decide what cosmetic lasers would work best for you, it would be especially important to get an in-office consultation with an expert physician. In general, lasers work best for lighter skin types one through three and maybe even four for skin rejuvenation. Ultrasoundbased and radiofrequency treatments would work well for all skin types, depending on the goals. I am a big believer of combining treatments to create a comprehensive treatment plan that would make a significant impact. What are some healthy ways to treat my wrinkles and fine lines? I would recommend a combination of lifestyle changes including less sun exposure and smoking, more water intake, and a good sleep pattern. In addition, using a retinol at night and sunscreen during the daytime along with growth factors and plant stem cells in your skincare regimen are a few things you could do at home. In-office treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and microneedling would take your skin to another level, as recommended by your physician. Why is prevention the most important part of your skin-care regimen in your 40s? As with everything in medicine, prevention is much better than cure. Most noninvasive skincare treatments work best when started early, so that we are still able to boost up the collagen and elastin levels in the skin before skin laxity and loss of turgor get to the point of requiring any surgical modalities. So, I would recommend using medical grade skincare and collagen building office procedures as preventive anti-aging tools on a regular basis, to whichever degree you can adopt in your lifestyle. Is there anything else you’d like to share? I would focus on a comprehensive plan to staying youthful no matter what your age. This would include a healthy lifestyle, mindfulness, good quality sleep, active skin care ingredients like Vitamin C, retinol, and growth factors, and seeing a cosmetic physician at least twice a year for a customized anti-aging plan. And in the end, practice self-love and love the skin you are in! NEEM MEDICAL SPA 693 Market St, Lynnfield, MA neemmedicalspa.com • 617-415-9836

IN - D EPTH The Bradstreet Farm and greenhouse Bradstreet Farm in Rowley offers a series of farm dinners. When Mike Sabatini purchased Rowley’s Bradstreet Farm in 2012, he may not have envisioned it as the backdrop for farm-to-table dinners. The Bradstreet family originally owned 120 acres, 113 of which have been ceded to conservation. Sabatini officially opened the seven-acre farm in 2018 with his wife, Michelle Faulkner, as an event venue, with a 120-person capacity for a seated dinner and a 160-person capacity for cocktail-style receptions with an additional tent. This year, Faulkner and Sabatini have expanded the purview of their enterprise to offer guests a different kind of bespoke experience on their property. “A lot of friends and people in the area have been asking us, ‘When do we get to come and have dinner on the property?’” Sabatini says. “And so, over time, we’ve been working on this idea.” 54 OCTOBER 2023 The idea of a series of farm-to-table dinners— with tickets sold in advance and food sourced from local purveyors—is a collaboration between the Barn at Bradstreet Farm and The Farmers Dinner, a series run by chef/owner Keith Sarasin. Since he launched The Farmers Dinner in 2012, Sarasin has hosted more than 103 farm-to-table events in the area, raising more than $125,000 for local farms. “October in New England is a culinary adventure,” Sarasin says. Sarasin’s rotating, multicourse menus, spearheaded with a team of talented chefs, showcase the arc of the seasons. The dinners at Bradstreet Farm, which began in August, run on select Sundays through October 29. “In New England during October, we’re spoiled with an abundance of delightful ingredients,” he says. “Apples, pumpkins, squashes like honey nut, and root vegetables take center stage.” NORTHSHOREMAG.COM Also on the menu, Sarasin says: hearty greens, savory mushrooms, and “local gems” that he feels express some of the richness of autumn. The dinners, particularly in fall, he says, offer an opportunity to “capture the essence of the season and our region’s bounty.” Sarasin’s popularity has followed him from venue to venue: His events almost always sell out. Bradstreet Farm has recently started producing its own wine in a joint venture with Rowley’s Mill River Winery. Grapes are grown at the farm, and the wine is vinified and sold at the winery down the road. The wine from the project is featured at the dinners. The farm grows Marquette, a red grape that prefers the area’s sandy soils. Herbs, corn, and cherry tomatoes for the dinner also are grown at the farm. “We start our radius right here in town,” Sabatini says of the dinners—and he means right on the farm’s own property.

IN THE KNOW Farm Dinner Destination Chatham Bars Inn embraces the fall season with dinners in the fields and greenhouses. Rustic tables strewn with antique vessels brimming with peachy pink dahlias and surrounded by fields of tidy rows of the season’s bounty is the setting I find myself in this past September. “It’s as if we are dining in a Monet painting,” a friend says of this magical farm-to-table experience at the eight-acre Chatham Bars Inn Farm in Brewster, Massachusetts. A crisp French Sauvignon Blanc and a smooth Oregon Pinot Noir flow freely at this jovial dinner party under an early fall evening’s sky. The dinner is hosted by Chatham Bars Inn executive chef Andrew Chadwick, who recently returned to the luxury seaside resort after a hiatus—honing his craft at other gastronomic establishments on the Eastern seaboard. He and his culinary team curate an assortment of menus for the 16 dinners offered throughout the summer and fall seasons. Each week’s dinner highlights the organic farm’s seasonal crops with produce harvested that day by the farm team, accompanied by locally sourced meats and seafood, creating the quintessential farm-to-table experience. This night, the bucolic setting and family-style dining experience begins with an assortment of crudité with dips, such as house-made hummus and dill yogurt, and hearty fresh baked brown breads accompanied by sweet, whipped butter. Earthenware platters arrive at the table next, filled with smoked eggplant, fire-roasted pepper coulis, baba ghanoush, and seasoned with the farm’s aromatic herbs. We all PHOTOGRAPH BY CONOR DOHERTY serve ourselves generous helpings of this flavorful dish as the sun begins to dip lower, turning the pale blue sky to cotton candy pink. Next, roasted chicken and mushroom bread pudding with roasted tomatoes and wilted farm greens appear. The meat falls off the bone—so tender and flavorful. The mushroom bread pudding is the perfect pairing with the poultry. As we indulge in this shared feast, the sky turns to a shade of amber and slowly melts behind the westfacing fields. The fourth course arrives—braised beef cheeks. Tender, and with just the right amount of seasoning, the beef’s pairing with a crunchy cucumber slaw and creamy polenta is a harmonious combination. The bright orange orb fades from sight and the first stars come out. For the finale, a spiced pound cake with stewed plums is set before us. Sweet, tart, and moist, it is exceptional and reminds Salem Film Festival is in its 16th year. me of being an exchange student in Germany where Frau Gundermann would serve homemade “pflaumenkuchen” on Friday nights. As the conversation and wine continue to flow, I look up to see Venus and the Big Dipper in plain view. As the evening comes to a close, I am so grateful to the chef and the farmers and Mother Nature for creating such a magical event surrounded by old friends and new all set in a Monet-like world.

VIP Gold ticket holders receive a cheese and charcuterie board along with their wine tasting and dinner. And all guests are free to enjoy live music and the dinner’s festive atmosphere; the threehour Sunday affair, offered from 4 to 7 p.m., is, Sabatini says, “a good, wholesome event.” IN THE KNOW Although this is the inaugural year for the Bradstreet Farm collaboration with The Farmers Dinners, Faulkner and Sabatini are already planning for the future. “We’ll definitely continue with this in 2024,” Faulkner says.

An arresting image of a heron, wings spread across a deeply saturated background, towers in lush contrast to the industrial brick of the surrounding buildings. Painted by renowned muralist Felipe Ortiz, it’s perhaps the most obvious signifier of the ways that the Newburyport Art Association is stretching to welcome new voices as it celebrates 75 years in operation. “Our mission statement is huge and wide, and we’re trying to do a lot,” says Dr. Lisa Naas, executive director, who is also a 66 OCTOBER 2023 conceptual glass artist, noting that the NAA tweaked that statement in celebration of the anniversary, but remains focused on art education and access to the visual arts for the entire community. Not only is the project a nod to street art, but it also takes paintings outside the walls of the galleries, engaging people who have never visited the NAA. Naas hopes the murals will encourage people to step inside to take a look at the exhibits. “Many locals don’t know that we are here for everybody, and anybody can walk in our door,” Naas says. “There’s no admission fee. We’re not an exclusive members club.” NORTHSHOREMAG.COM PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY OF NEWBURYPORT ARTS ASSOCIATION

IN - D EPTH Journeying Well: Artistic Pathways Exhibition Visual response by NAA artist Judy Robinson-Cox to the quote: "Get in touch with your crayon box. Smelling a crayon takes you right back to your childhood, doesn't it? I'm partial to the black crayon and the white crayon, but that's just me. Any color has the same potency. Breathe it in. You'll see." by Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture (2008) the attention of passersby, Naas sees many more opportunities to engage with the community. She joined the NAA in 2021, and her primary task continues to be the difficult job of rebuilding after Covid shuttered gallery shows and fundraising. While membership has rebounded from historic lows in 2021 to more than 500 artists and supporters, classes and visits to the gallery have been slower to grow. “We are here for everybody, from the beginner to the most established,” Naas says, noting that classes are open to members and nonmembers alike. The pandemic did bring one positive change: a reexamination of the ways that technology can extend reach beyond the building itself. “We are now living in a digital world, and we want to do as many things in a hybrid manner as we can,” Naas says. “You’re going to find every single show online. We open it up when we open the physical gallery up, and we close it when the physical show comes down. So that lets everybody see what’s going on with us, no matter where they are.” Galleries change over at a brisk pace, with some shows staying for only two weeks, meaning there’s always something new to look at, both in person and online. The careful balance between preserving traditions and growth is on full display this fall. In mid-October, the Members’ Fall Juried Show, which has run annually for decades, will be curated by Markus Sebastiano, contemporary mixed media artist and owner of Blochaus. The exhibit will be offered concurrently with a Featured Artist Show by Donald Jurney, an NAA Master Artist and longtime supporter whose work is rooted in plein air landscapes. Then, when those more traditional shows come down in midNovember, the third installment of NAA’s 75th Anniversary exhibitions, “Journeying Well: Artistic Pathways,” will arrive. Open to both members and nonmembers, it will be more conceptual, addressing the creative process and the varied paths that artists follow.

“It’s a different take on how to put a show together, It’s drawing inspiration from famous artists and writers and creatives who have worked since the time of our founding to now. It’s my job to take what they give me and make sense of it, so that it works as a show.” —Dr. Lisa Naas, executive director, Newburyport Art Association “It’s a way to embrace our legacy, and also our future,” Naas says. “The exhibition will be multifaceted to reflect the nature of the creative process,” with works highlighting the literal paths of creative exploration, as well as metaphorical and abstract takes on the concepts. To build the show, Naas has been posting quotes by famous creatives dating back as far as 1948, when the NAA was founded, and asking artists to respond to them with works of art. “It’s a different take on how to put a show together,” Naas says. “It’s drawing inspiration from famous artists and writers and creatives who have worked since the time of our founding to now. It’s my job to take what they give me and make sense of it, so that it works as a show.” While the show was still coalescing at press time, Naas envisions one gallery devoted to this call-and-response format. For instance, a viewer might find a quote from Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George paired with an artist’s visual response. She hopes that the format will attract new visitors, as well as stimulate supporters to engage with art in new ways, which is really the promise for visitors every time they walk through the gallery’s doors. “Each artist brings their own perspective, and offers it to the viewer. And then the viewer gets to see a little bit of how they look at the world,” Naas says. “It’s important and enriching for a community to have all those diverse perspectives available. It all comes down to how you look at things.” CONTACT newburyportart.org RAW PET FOOD Venison, Salmon, Turkey, Tripe, Beef, Rabbit, Chicken, Quail, Duck, Organ Meat & Bones.

Dawn TARDIF Dawn Tardif started working when she was 15. She took a job at Gingiss Formalwear; moved on to management at the then-popular clothing chain The Limited; and then worked at the locally iconic Yolanda’s bridal shop. As she worked her way up the ladder in the world of fashion retail, however, Tardif knew what she really wanted was to start her own business. And she wanted to focus less on the outer trappings of beauty and, instead, delve a little deeper. The result was BodiScience Wellness Center & Spa, opened in 1990 and still thriving today. “I have never been the person who is so concerned with the exterior,” Tardif says. “If I PHOTOGRAPH BY SADIE DAYTON am feeling happy, healthy, and balanced and at peace, I am then going to radiate that. To me, that’s beauty.” BodiScience offers treatments based on the philosophy that skincare is about more than superficial beauty. The skin is a vital organ that reflects the state of internal systems and energies. Therefore, skincare must address emotional and mental wellbeing as well. The principles of Ayurvedic medicine—a traditional Indian form of natural medicine that centers on balancing mind, body, spirit, and the environment— have always been central to Tardif ’s work. She has studied extensively in both Ayurvedic practices and conventional medicine. “All of our modalities are based on the mind-body connection and neuroscience,” she says. When the business first started, this kind of holistic approach was not widely appreciated, Tardif says. Though her true focus was on overall wellness, and she has always offered Ayurvedic treatments, she made the practical decisions to put the word spa in her business name and offered some of the expected services, like manicures. “We put the name ‘spa’ in there so I could get into people’s minds and hearts,” she says. Today, BodiScience’s pioneering approach to wellness and skincare has more traction, allowing the business to really come into its own. And she intends to help spread the philosophy even further: She will soon be launching a program to train others in the field in BodiScience theories and techniques. “Now that it’s more talked about, now that it’s more well received, we are able to step up as the leader in the industry,” she says. “We have now stepped into our authentic selves.” 73
Amy LATIMER When you think of power players at the TD Garden in Boston, you might think of Bruins center, Patrice Bergeron, or Jason Tatum tearing up the parquet for the Celtics. Behind the scenes, Amy Latimer, president of TD Garden and chief development officer of its parent company, Delaware North, is calling the shots. Starting as part of the inaugural executive team at the TD Garden in 1995, she rose through the ranks and was named president of the arena in 2012. Latimer led a $70 million renovation in 2015 and a multilevel, $100-plus million, 50,000-square-foot expansion of the arena, which opened in 2019. Given her success, it was no surprise Delaware North recently named Latimer its chief operating officer, responsible for the company’s business operations around the world. Latimer and her husband, who spent more than 20 years in Topsfield raising their three sons, recently moved to Plum Island. It is from here that she will commute to the company’s more than 200 high-profile sports and entertainment venues, national and state parks, and destination resorts and restaurants across the globe. “We moved to Topsfield at the end of September of 1997,” recalls Latimer. “It was a Saturday morning, and suddenly I heard fire trucks and lots of noise. My husband was traveling, so I ran outside in my PJs thinking there was an emergency. I saw people lining the streets and finally realized it was the Topsfield Fair parade. I called my husband and told him I love it here.” When asked what she loves about the North Shore, Latimer quickly answers, “Everything! It was important for my husband and me to raise our family in a house with a yard and be part of a community. Living in Topsfield we were close to everything— Boston, beaches, Route 1. Forget the village, it takes a town to raise a child. I could not have had a better experience.” “While my boys were growing up and doing sports, we practically lived at Alex’s and Topsfield House of Pizza,” adds Latimer. 74 “I love the Topsfield Bake Shop and always enjoy going to Tender Crop Farm. Plus, there is no better place to get a roast beef sandwich than on the North Shore, and we have tried them all!” As for being a leader in business, Latimer hopes her team would say that they know where the organization is going. “People want clear direction, and I do my best to provide it while also giving them the tools to succeed. Being a good listener and being empathetic is important. I think leadership has changed. Today, you have to be flexible and more thoughtful about working with employees,” says Latimer. As for her best business advice, Latimer says to raise your hand for the job even if you don’t have 100 percent of the requested qualifications. “As long as you have 70 percent of them and the desire to do the job, you will be fine. I’m proof this is true as it has been my path.” PHOTOGRAPH BY MELENA WARD
Billy COSTA When North Shore resident Billy Costa first graduated from Emerson College, he was working as a DJ in a few Boston clubs. He caught the attention of some folks from radio station Kiss 108 FM. They asked him in for an interview. He agreed but wasn’t content to just take a standard job. Instead, he proposed launching a news program focused on entertainment, lifestyle, and celebrities. Station management was skeptical of the then-novel format, so Costa made an offer: He’d host the show for free for six months, but if they didn’t hire him at the end, he’d take his services to their competitor. PHOTOGRAPH BY ADAM GLANZMAN/GETTY IMAGES FOR IHEARTRADIO “Long story short, they hired me,” Costa says. For the 40 years since that successful gambit, Costa—and his distinctive voice— have been all over New England’s radio and television airwaves, serving up entertainment news, popular music countdowns, insider info on restaurants and food, and more. A broadcasting career, however, was not Costa’s original plan. After high school, he played hockey, first in a postgraduate prep school program for two years and then at Merrimack College. Two years later he transferred to Emerson, thinking he might use his degree to become a high school public speaking teacher. Without a hockey scholarship to pay his way, Costa found himself working four or five jobs at a time—including part-time club DJ gigs—to cover his tuition while attending school full time. And he’s never really slowed down. He’s still on air leading Kiss 108’s morning program and hosts a syndicated top 30 countdown show for the station’s parent company. He hosts a food and entertainment show on NESN, Dining Playbook; a foodfocused radio show, Food for Thought, on news radio station WBZ; and public television’s High School Quiz Show. There’s still more to come. He and NESN cohost Jenny Johnson are putting together a new show and have a coffee-table cookbook coming out. Despite his packed schedule, however, Costa says he never feels like it’s all too much work. “It doesn’t feel like it when you love it,” he says. “You never feel like you’re going to work.” 75
Thomas HOLLAND Thomas Holland is a successful restaurateur whose eateries, A&B Burgers in Beverly and A&B Kitchen and Bar in Boston, have reimaged the typical burger joint by combining amazing burgers with great service. “We just tried to reinvent what a burger restaurant was, because at the time it was all quick serve,” he says of first opening a decade ago. “We were one of the originals that started this fullservice burger and bar restaurant. And it was really, really well received.” It’s easy to see why. A&B Burgers—which is named after Holland’s sons, Alex and Ben—works with local and sustainable farms and partners for a menu filled with delicious, award-winning burgers, small plates, entrées, and other creative, lovingly crafted items. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, made even better by the great service that people expect from the region’s top restaurants. The restaurant group opened a second location in Boston in 2019. With a thriving business and happy family, Holland seems to be enjoying an uninterrupted string of success. But 23 years ago, things were very different. Holland was living on the street and battling addiction, panhandling for money just so he could eat. “You would’ve walked by me on the street and crossed the street because of the way I looked or acted,” he says. “Now, I’m able to put almost 100 people to work, and contribute a significant amount of money into the community, and be able to really be a part of a community that has welcomed me.” Holland, in recovery for 23 years, hasn’t forgotten about all the people who helped him along the way, which is why he’s dedicated to paying it forward. His restaurants support the community wherever they can, from Beverly High School to local Little League teams. They also work with the homeless shelters Riverhouse in Beverly and Lifebridge in Salem to donate food. They even worked with those shelters for a month to deliver roughly 120 meals a day to local families’ homes during the early days of the Covid shutdown. For Holland, “that’s what community is,” and now he feels like he’s come full circle. “Our guests support us, our local area supports us,” he says. “And when somebody reaches out and says they’re in need, we need to be there to support them as well.” 76 PHOTOGRAPH BY JARED CHARNEY

Michael ALDI Growing up in Connecticut, Michael Aldi fully expected to follow in his father’s professional footsteps, working in real estate and development. And for a while, that’s just what he did, joining the family business after he graduated from college. Aldi, his father, and another partner then had a chance to invest in a restaurant in Boston. As soon as he got a taste of the business, Aldi was hooked. “Once I got my feet wet in the restaurant industry, I realized I really enjoyed it,” he says. “I enjoy people, I like entertaining. It’s very fastpaced, there’s a lot of moving parts. It fits my personality.” Since that initial realization, Aldi has become perhaps the most notable restaurateur in Revere. Using his real estate savvy, he connected with developer Redgate, which was building highapartment complexes in Revere, and struck a deal to open restaurants in its three developments in the city. The result is that, today, Aldi is the owner of three of the city’s newest and most popular eateries. The first, Dryft, opened in late 2019, offering what Aldi calls “Miami vibes” and an eclectic menu that is big on local seafood and house-made pasta. Fine Line, an elevated take on a pizza-and-beer joint, opened in 2020, and upscale Cut 21 joined the group in 2021, featuring steak and seafood. And Aldi is not even close to finished with building his portfolio. He is in talks for a deal at the redeveloped Suffolk Downs project and is developing a concept for a café-bar at another new apartment complex. He is also looking beyond Revere to possibilities in Newton or Weston and the Boston Seaport. The key to his success, he suspects, is his focus on the personality of each of his restaurants. Food is important, of course: Aldi is quick to praise his menu items, particularly the chicken under a brick at Dryft. However, the experience matters even more, he says. And part of cultivating a great experience is keeping employees happy. Even as many restaurants struggle with staffing, Aldi has little trouble retaining employees, he says, because he listens to their needs and pays attention to their strengths. “We want them to succeed,” he says. “If they do better, I do better.” 78 PHOTOGRAPH BY JOEL LAINO
Anna ROSSI Before she became a TV chef, lifestyle expert, and brand ambassador, Anna Rossi tried her hand at pharmaceutical sales. She wasn’t very good at it. “I was the worst pharmaceutical rep because all I wanted to do was chitchat about pork chops with the doctors,” laughs Rossi. As Rossi tried to find her professional way after graduating from the University of Vermont in 2005, thoughts of food just kept tugging at her. She had fond memories of pickling foraged rose hips with her grandmother in Sweden, learning French cooking skills from a landlord in college, and sharing meals with fellow travelers on a hike in Spain. But when she met her now-husband, A.J., who has an expansive appreciation for food and cooking, something just clicked, and she started to think about the career possibilities. She started a food blog and then, in 2012, got her first big break when she and A.J. were both cast on the third season of cooking competition show MasterChef. She earned rave reviews for creations, like her chocolate lava cake, and made it from the original pool of 100 contestants into the top 13. From there she expanded her food blog, contributed recipes and food writing to cookbooks and magazines, and worked as a personal chef. Then, in 2016, the local NBC affiliate decided it wanted to localize its lifestyle content and brought Rossi on board to talk food. When Covid shutdowns sparked wider interest in home cooking, she took to Facebook Live with a series of videos called “The Chef ’s Pantry.” The videos were immediately a hit and have now evolved into a more traditional TV segment. Rossi’s commitment to cooking is as much about feelings as it is flavors, she says. She loves showing people small tricks to transform simple, affordable ingredients into special meals, like the way searing skin-on chicken thigh the right way yields “potato-chip crisp” skin. It’s a “humble dish that’s been elevated,” she says. She appreciates the way a meal can connect people, the way buying local food can nurture the community, and the way new flavors can expand possibilities. It’s not a path Rossi expected 15 years ago, but it’s one she is very happy to walk today. “This is really a surprise,” Rossi says, “and it’s been a journey that I’m really grateful for.” 79 PHOTOGRAPH BY SAM MOODY
Gary LITCHFIELD Gary Litchfield’s roots in Burlington run deep, and throughout his career, he’s helped to shape the town and what it’s become. “It’s very satisfying. I drive down just about any street and there are homes that I built or properties that I helped to assist in the planning of,” he says. That’s because of Litchfield’s role both professionally and with the town itself. In addition to spending several years on the planning board in the 1980s, Litchfield has been in the real estate business for decades. “I probably built—between houses and condos in Burlington—a couple hundred properties,” he says. “And being in the brokerage business I also facilitated another three or four hundred transactions.” He estimates that he’s developed between 300-400 acres, worth about $100,000,000, over a 40-year career as a real estate developer designing, permitting, and building out new homes and condominiums in more than 18 communities and more than 20 subdivisions and projects. Litchfield’s businesses, Litchfield Company, Inc, a real estate development company, and Mass Real Estate Solutions, a real estate brokerage company, both operate out of his office in Burlington. He also owns the Emerald Rose, an Irish restaurant in nearby Billerica. But his roots stretch even deeper than that. Not only has he lived in Burlington his whole life, but his mother was born at home there “when there was less than 600 people back in the early 20s” and his father was the town’s first full-time police officer right after WWII. That’s why it’s been important to Litchfield to be involved in the community, both in his own town and beyond, from hosting charity events at his restaurant and making donations to local organizations, to serving as the state’s boxing commissioner for 12 years and instituting important elements like a medical advisory board for the first time. He’s also been a professional boxing judge. In addition, he recently donated a 1.3-acre portion of land to the town of Burlington after discovering that part of a parcel he was building a house on actually included a small part of a trail that connected two townowned pieces of land. Instead of cutting off the trail, he donated the portion of the trail that passed over private property, as well as a bit more land that included some wetlands. “It worked out well and kept that trail system connected and that town land connected. The piece that we were able to donate connects those two pieces, and it never did before,” he says. “Now, it’s completely, wholly owned by the town, and there will be no worries going forward about ever having it interrupted.” 80 PHOTOGRAPH BY JARED CHARNEY
Eric SULLIVAN Websites like Airbnb and Vrbo have radically changed the tourism market, allowing travelers to bypass corporate middlemen and book stays directly online with property owners, from single rooms to entire houses. But, often, the service at those properties leaves something to be desired when compared to a traditional hotel. “You can have really cool technology,” says Eric Sullivan, founder and managing partner of the real estate investing firm Sullivan Capital. “But if the guest can’t get a towel when they need it or something’s not working, it kind of doesn’t matter.” That’s why Sullivan Capital is shaking up the hospitality market even more with a new model of limited-service boutique hotels that combine the best of both worlds. The result is a “digital hotel” that’s a hybrid between traditional, fully staffed hotels and Airbnb properties, and uses a technology platform to provide exceptional guest services. Its first property is The Coach House, an 1879 Victorian mansion in Salem that’s been operating as an inn for many years. After undergoing an extensive renovation and getting a modern makeover—goodbye, dated floral wallpaper and lace curtains; hello, sleek, black-and-white design—The Coach House reopened in August 2022 as an 11-room boutique hotel. Guests are able to book online and check in digitally, using a code to access the property and their room as soon as they arrive (no waiting in line to check in), but also have the added services of a personal concierge who’s reachable by text for everything from requesting additional towels to getting help operating the TV. Sullivan says their response time is about one to two minutes. Like a traditional boutique hotel, the luxe rooms offer Wi-Fi, smart TVs, bathrobes, C. O. Bigelow toiletries, and other amenities. A year-plus into its operation, Sullivan says guests are happy. “Our reviews have been pretty much five stars across the board,” Sullivan says. “I think that all just really ties back to the guest experience, which, again, is paramount.” Sullivan is just starting, too. He’s working on restoring and opening additional properties throughout New England, including one in Gloucester, all with an eye toward that bespoke, boutique experience. “We’re not trying to buy these large, mammoth, traditional hotels like a Holiday Inn,” he says. “But take ;historic properties and bring them back to life with a new purpose.” 81 PHOTOGRAPH BY ELISE SINAGRA
Michael SMOLAK For decades, Smolak Farms in North Andover has been a staple of the North Shore community, offering beloved pick-your-own experiences, fun at the farm stand, seasonal festivals and events, educational programs, and its lovely Whim Dinners, a pop-up, farm-to-table summer dining series featuring multicourse menus created by local chefs and served right on the farm. At the farm’s helm is its owner and operator, H. Michael Smolak, who still lives on the farm that his family has called home for almost a century. But in May 2022, Smolak nearly watched all of that history, passion, and memory go up in flames when an overnight fire broke out on the farm. “It happened at two o’clock in the morning,” Smolak remembers. “I looked out the window, and you could see the flames coming up.” His farmhouse home is right across the street, so he grabbed a kitchen fire extinguisher and ran toward the flames, but it was too dangerous to put out by himself. In the end, the fire destroyed three buildings. “You feel like the rug’s been pulled out from underneath you, and then you think, well, how are we going to survive this?” Smolak says. “You’ve got to hope that you can kind of piece it together and make things work, and so far we have.” After the fire they rebuilt the function building, which Smolak says now “looks better than it’s ever looked.” They also planted three acres of strawberries, which he predicts “will be wonderful next year;” started a flower cutting garden; and will be planting a new peach orchard next spring. And although 2022 was devastating, it was also a year of recognition. Smolak received the North of Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau’s 2022 New Member Award for his contribution to regional tourism. He also received the North Andover Historical Society’s 2022 Lifetime Preservation Award. Smolak preserved 107 acres of the farm in cooperation with the State of Massachusetts Agricultural Preservation Restriction Program, ensuring that it will remain open land in perpetuity. He calls that act of preservation his “biggest legacy for my tenure on the property.” It’s been a tough few years marked by fire, bad crops, a drought, and a pandemic. But Smolak remains optimistic and dedicated to making Smolak Farms better than ever. “Sometimes, I feel like the phoenix rising from the ashes,” he says. 82 PHOTOGRAPH BY JOEL LAINO
Jenny HOLADAY Jenny Holaday loves casino entertainment. “I could go to a casino with a bunch of girlfriends and play slots all night long and just have a blast,” she says. Of course, as president of Encore Boston Harbor, Holaday isn’t actually allowed to play where everyone else in the Greater Boston area plays. But that doesn’t mean you won’t catch a fast-moving glimpse of her while you’re there. “I’m usually on my way somewhere, so you’ll see me walking very purposefully,” she says. “I’m all over the building. All over the place, anytime, any day, anywhere.” Holaday, who lives on the North Shore, joined Encore as executive vice president of operations a few months after its grand opening in 2019, and rose to the top spot in less than two years, becoming president in August 2021. With that promotion, Holaday became the first woman to run a casino in Massachusetts. She also took on the president role at a particularly challenging time, just as the world was adjusting to the pandemic’s “new normal.” She says going through something like that has tested and retested her ability to pivot and change. “You figure out really quickly how to adjust,” she says. “I think in many ways, it helped this team because we’ve just never had it easy. It’s always been something that we’re reacting and adjusting to.” But Holaday hasn’t only been reacting to the turbulence of the pandemic. She’s also led Encore to achieving record-high gaming revenues; partnering with all five of the region’s major sports teams; and spearheading philanthropy work. For instance, Encore volunteers are currently working with an organization called The Pack Shack toward the goal of packing and donating 1 million meals this year to local community food banks. In addition, Encore Boston Harbor has received a five-star resort designation with Forbes Travel Guide for two years running. That designation is tough to get, especially for a large casino resort. “Most five-star resorts are small, boutique operations. So to do that with 3,300 employees and 671 hotel rooms and 11 bars and restaurants, let alone a casino the size of ours, is a very unique achievement,” Holaday says. “That is by far the most, I think, important and proudest achievement, and a lot of the team feel the same way.” 83 PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF ENCORE BOSTON HARBOR
Amy POCSIK Six years into her accounting career, Amy Pocsik took a career break to concentrate on the work of parenting her newborn son. When it was time to return to her professional life, she decided she was ready for a change. “I really set out on this journey to find my purpose, to find out what I was meant to do,” she says. She tried a few different paths, including a stint as a mortgage broker. She knew she needed to actively network to succeed in her new field but was disappointed to find few options focused on women. So, along with Melissa Gilbo, whom she met during her earliest networking forays, Pocsik in 2018 founded the Women’s Business League, a now-national organization that connects professional women, providing shared resources, business advice, and assistance in expanding their businesses. Today, the group has 45 chapters across 11 states. As the organization grew, Pocsik realized two things: First, she really didn’t like being a mortgage broker. And second, she wanted to use her professional knowledge to help all the women she was meeting who needed a little boost in the business world. In 2021, she launched Bold Moves, a company that offers career advisory services to women entrepreneurs and executives. “I met so many women who were so talented, but they didn’t have business knowledge,” she says. The backbone of both these enterprises is Pocsik’s dedication helping women be confident and assertive as they express their authentic selves in their work. It can be a hard balance to strike, but Pocsik is up for the challenge. Her passion for the work she now does is evident within the first few minutes of a conversation, as she fizzes with genuine enthusiasm for the power and promise of the women she works with. “I work with women who are trailblazing, building businesses that are amazing opportunities for themselves and transforming the industries that they’re in,” she says. “These are amazing women. They inspire me.” Now, two years into running Bold Moves, Pocsik is happy to say that she might just have found the answer to the career questions she was asking herself a decade ago. “I feel like I finally hit my stride,” Pocsik says. “In a lot of ways, I am just getting started.” 84 PHOTOGRAPH BY MARIAH GALE
Bill Baert (below) and Warren Kelly (left) Bill Baert and WARREN KELLY In 1973, Bill Baert and Warren Kelly started Baert Marine in a two-bay garage on Route 1 in Danvers. The building burned to the ground in 1974. The pair did not give up on their fledgling business, however. They spent the next 49 years building a marine supply and services business that was among the largest and most respected in New England. “It had to do with attitude: We knew we could do it, and we love what we do,” Baert says, speaking from aboard his own boat. “Anything you have a passion for sticks.” Just last month, the pair sold the business to Maine’s Port Harbor Marine, a buyer carefully chosen to keep their legacy alive. “It’s very emotional selling a business you spent your whole life on,” Kelly says. “But we feel we’ve left it in good hands.” Baert Marine began when Baert, then a recent college graduate with a deep love of sailing and the ocean, was offered the opportunity to take over the marine business he had been working for throughout his studies. He brought on Kelly, then a mechanic at the company, as his partner. The partnership worked, they both say, because their professional personalities complement each other’s nicely. Baert is the grounded one, focusing on the details of dayto-day operations, while Kelly is the long-term thinker and the marketer, always pushing new ideas for promotion and expansion. “We worked very well together,” Baert says. “If we were 20 years younger, we could’ve kept going for another 20 years.” Together, they nurtured a company culture in which employees took ownership of their work. Employees trusted Baert and Kelly and the bosses, in return, trusted them. The business ran so smoothly, Baert says, that he was able to take monthlong vacations without ever feeling the need to check in. The formula worked for 50 years, seeing the business through gas crises, economic crashes, and a global pandemic. Now in their 70s, the partners decided it was time to find new owners who would continue the values and practices that kept Baert Marine going strong for half a century. “We had to make sure our employees were taken care of, and they had a future,” Kelly says. Looking ahead, Kelly expects to do some consulting work and to become more active in volunteer industry association work. And Baert? “I want more time with my family,” he says. “I want more time on my boat.” 85 PHOTOGRAPHS, TOP TO BOTTOM, BY JOEL LAINO, BY JEN BOLITHO

THREE GASTROPUBS ON THE NORTH SHORE OFFERING BREWS, BRATS, AND THE BEST TASTES OF THE SEASON. Ellis Square Social has an extensive beer selection including several German brews.

in Munich from the middle of September through the first week of October, Oktoberfest is the world’s largest Volksfest, or people’s festival, a German-specific event that combines beer-drinking, traveling attractions, live music, and local food. Oktoberfest, which originated as a wedding celebration for Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen, began in 1810 and has become an international tradition. Though you may not find dirndls and 88

At Peabody’s The Double Bull, 50 beers are always on draft, and Oktoberfest is just one opportunity to highlight an emerging category of interest. Coinciding with Oktoberfest, says Jerry Ullman, the restaurant’s general manager, The Double Bull adds to its selection malty, Märzen-style beers and crisp Festbiers. “These are definitely styles that are PHOTOGRAPHS, BY MARK MANNE 89
classically designed to be enjoyed all day long,” he says. “And the ultimate goal is not to pack the highest amount of alcohol in a cup.” The original Märzen, he notes, is a beer that has been brewed in March, lagered in cool cellars over the course of the summer, and tapped in the early fall, a lower-alcohol brew that drinkers can consume throughout a festive day without fear of overindulgence. These types of beer—clean, crisp, restrained—are naturally suited for the menu served at a place like The Double Bull, elevated pub food that spans the globe. “We fit into that gastropub-style restaurant,” Ullman says: warm pretzels served with beer pub cheese and smoked sea salt, for instance, or a bacon and fig flatbread with caramelized onions and aged balsamic vinegar. “There are some classic dishes that everyone wants to see during Oktoberfest,” he says. “We make sure our fall seasonal menu goes really well with this celebration.” At his Andover restaurant, Elm Square Oyster Co., executive chef Michael Sherman leans into the Oktoberfest celebration with weekly specials, foods that express a German sensibility and pair well with the restaurant’s six draft beers. “I’ll be doing a sausage one week, and I’ll be doing a schnitzel sandwich,” he says. “We definitely like to do a little something for the people who come in and drink the beers that we have.” The restaurant’s upscale dining concept changes seasonally, and one of Sherman’s popular autumn additions is an ideal match, he says, for beer and beer lovers. “We offer a pastrami sandwich: a prime beef pastrami,” he says. “We get the briskets in, we brine them ourselves, we smoke them ourselves. We serve them with red wine–braised red cabbage on sourdough.” This rich sandwich, complemented by pickled flavors, is an obvious choice for any diner in search of those traditional German flavors: salt, fat, acid. With 14 draft lines, a few of which carry local and seasonal beers, Ellis Square Social, in Beverly, takes a moderate approach to the October beer-drinking season. “We’ll do a rotating cider line and a rotating IPA or something season-oriented, a sour, or a hazy IPA, something Oktoberfest-related,” says Brandon Phillips, the restaurant’s bar manager. “People’s tastes change as the weather 90 Above, Elm Square Oyster Co. Beet soup with smoked trout roe, sourdough, and dill. Elm Square Oyster’s executive chef Michael Sherman. changes,” Phillips says. “We do have a pretty heavy crossroads, where we’re surrounded by so many kinds of local breweries. People will ask if we carry the products from the breweries around us—we do.” The menu, Phillips adds, has changed since he began working at the restaurant. Now leaning even further into the gastropub category, the restaurant features locally changing menu items, elevated food in a casual atmosphere (no tablecloths or pretentious service). A chophouse-style à la carte section offers guests cuts of meat from Brandt Farms, a Southern California ranch that has been operating since 1945. This fall, guests can expect menu additions that play into traditional Oktoberfest themes, like a possible sausage dish that expands upon fall flavors. And, of course, there is still plenty of pumpkin to go around, says Jerry Ullman, for guests looking to celebrate the October beerdrinking season with a touch of spice that says

Although you may not find a pumpkinspiced beer at Munich’s Oktoberfest, that doesn’t mean you have to give it up entirely. “Ultimately, pumpkin beers aren’t really about the pumpkin; it’s about the pumpkin pie spice,” he says. Rich, sweet, pumpkin pie spices—nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, most notably—are a good match for the unctuous, savory, and satisfying foods served not only at Oktoberfest celebrations, but also at some of the North Shore’s time-honored gastropubs. Does anything sound better than a pumpkin beer from Elm Square Oyster Co., paired with one of Michael Sherman’s seasonally available pastrami sandwiches? It may not be a tradition time-honored in Munich, but it’s one worth honoring on the North Shore this year. ¡ thedoublebull.com; ellissquaresocial.com; elmsquareoysterco.com PHOTOGRAPHS, LEFT TO RIGHT, BY MARK MANNE, BY GLENN SCOTT 91

WHEN IT COMES TO THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS, THE PAST IS NOW. A NEW HOME FOR THE WITCH TRIALS COURT DOCUMENTS, A NEW EXONERATION, AND A BRAND-NEW EXHIBIT AT THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM SHOW THAT FOR THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS, THE PAST IS PRESENT. THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS Left, Massachusetts Archives Collection, 135:124. SC1/series 45X. Massachusetts Archives. Boston, Massachusetts. continue to be an ongoing source of interest 331 years after they ended, as anyone who’s even passed through Salem can tell you. But they also continue to be a source of news. Earlier this year, a huge cache of 527 original, handwritten court documents were transferred from the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) to their permanent home at the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court archives in Boston. And in 2022, a group of North Andover eighth graders successfully petitioned state legislators to finally exonerate Elizabeth Johnson Jr., making her the last convicted “witch” to be officially cleared of wrongdoing. Events like these show that the Salem Witch Trials might be history, but they’re still making headlines. “The Salem Witch Trials are this evergreen subject of fascination for many people. Books come out every year about the trials and the people that were involved in them,” says Dan Lipcan, the director of PEM’s Phillips Library. “Ultimately, the Salem Witch Trials were influential in the development of the freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech because of what happened in the aftermath where people were publishing [critical] material about the Puritan government.” Now, PEM is hosting a new exhibition called “The Salem Witch Trials: Restoring Justice,” which examines the trials using 93

Photograph by Dennis Helmar court documents, original objects that belonged to the people involved, and pieces of modern art inspired by the trials. It’s on view now through November 26. The exhibition looks at the witch trial crisis through the lens of restorative justice. “Restorative justice is really about [asking] what does the victim need? How can we repair the trauma and the harms that have been done to the individual, to the family, and to the community? How do 94 we move forward after something like that?” Lipcan says. It’s an important question since the Salem Witch Trials “totally split this community,” he says, with neighbors accusing neighbors. The exhibition not only tells the stories of the victims, but also digs into the ways people acted in 1692 and in the years following the trials. For instance, some people spoke out against the injustices as they were Right, Frank Cousins.

happening and petitioned on behalf of their accused neighbors, which was a risky thing to do in a climate where anyone could be accused. The exhibition also looks at efforts to heal from the injustice after the trials ended, from petitions for restitution payments and official exonerations, to scholars investigating and questioning what happened and why. It also shows how long healing can actually take. After all, Elizabeth Johnson Jr.’s name was officially cleared only in 2022. “It’s still happening,” Lipcan says. “It took 300 years for Salem to build a memorial to the victims.” Unlike prior exhibitions, which displayed the original documents, this year’s program displays reproductions. “What the reproductions allow us to do is enlarge them and light them more brightly because the [original] documents needed to be kept under low light to prevent light damage,” Lipcan says. “We’re hoping that those things mean that it’ll be easier for people to read them and see them.” The original witch trial papers now reside in Boston at the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court archives. Since 1980, PEM had stored the witch trial papers—which are court documents—on behalf of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which owns them but didn’t have a proper storage facility for them. Among the delicate documents are official complaints accusing people of witchcraft, depositions, petitions, and even Bridget Bishop’s death warrant. Before transferring the documents, though, PEM completed the incredible task of photographing and digitizing them, making them freely available for anyone to see online. Now, because of that work, the documents are more accessible than ever. “We worked really hard to get all the documents we had in our care photographed in high resolution and put online,” Lipcan says. It’s just one more way that PEM and the city of Salem are working to broaden our understanding of the Salem Witch Trials, which have been a constant source of wonder and speculation for more than three centuries. “Maybe part of it is the mystery of it,” Lipcan says. “We can’t know everything about what happened.” pem.org 95
