RICHARD L. BUCHER, DMD

IS SEDATION DENTISTRY RIGHT FOR ME?

Many people avoid needed dental care out of fear. Now it is possible to get the care you have been avoiding in a

relaxed and comfortable way.

With sedation dentistry you will:• have fewer visits

• be relaxed, but NOT asleep

• have little or no memory of the actual dental treatment

• take medication by mouth, NO IV, for your visits

• accomplish the dental care and smile you desire

If you would like to explore this method of dental care, please call us at

201-337-9496 and visit our website at

Laserdentistrynj.com

LASER DENTISTRY OF NORTH JERSEY9 Post Road, Suite D5, Oakland, New Jersey(201) 337-9496 | www.laserdentistrynj.com

STRETCH YOURSELF OR STAY IN YOUR COM-fort zone? That’s a choice we often face, and recently itfaced Lisa Oz, wife of renowned heart surgeon and TV per-sonality Mehmet Oz, M.D. She graciously invited BergenHealth & Life into her stucco, terra cotta-roofed CliffsidePark home for a chat you’ll read about on page 56. In tack-ling her new book about relationships, she explained, shewent for the challenge—and she’s glad she did.

For some of us, home itself can be a similar test of for-titude—and an opportunity to shine. Take the lovely roomsfeatured in our At Home story, page 40. Each was conceivedby a different Bergen designer in the one place where theircreativity can run free: their own homes. Just peering at thekitchen on page 45 alone—light and airy, chic but cozy—makes me imagine the divine meals I might concoct in sucha space, or what convivial dinner parties I might throw.

Having recently updated my own dining room, I canappreciate the work that went into the renovations shown in“Before & After,” page 46. One, once a blank slate, is now anelegant music salon; the other, formerly cluttered and with-out focus, now gracefully fuses living and dining areas intoone soothing space.

And the vibrant rooms in “The Color Spectrum,”page 50, are proof positive that I’m not alone in my quest toadd splashy hues to almost any space. See for yourself whata difference it can make.

While stretching yourself is great, there comes a timeto reward yourself too. The rest of our pages feature indul-gences we can all try whenever the whim strikes. InGourmet, we detail a delicious Indian meal at Paramus’ styl-ish Mantra, while in Bergen Buzz, we profile a home designemporium that’s a bastion of imagination and inspiration,plus a Wyckoff spot where pizza becomes health food.

We hope you enjoy theseclose-up looks at how your neigh-bors live, and cherish each momentof this Bergen spring.

“The better part of a year”—that’s how long Chris Saville says heand wife Kate spent in their kitchen before perfecting recipes for thetasty, healthier pizza alternatives they serve up at THE FLATZCOMPANY in Wyckoff (201-560-0150, www.theflatzco.com).

Perhaps the key component in the ultra-thin, 12-inch pies istheir crispy whole-wheat crust, made from all-natural flour. Fromthere, customers can choose from 19 varieties, or build their own withtoppings such as cherry peppers, white truffle oil and poached egg. Agood place to start is the “Original” ($7.50); topped with mozzarellaand homemade tomato sauce, it’s just 750 calories for the entirepie—less than half that of traditional pizza. More daring? Try the“Island Flat,” a combo of banana, organic coconut, pineapple, moz-

zarella and homemade tomato sauce. A bonus?All cups, salad containers and cutlery

are biodegradable, and boxes aremade from recycled materials.

“The pizza is so good,and the fact that manyingredients are organicappeals to us,” says KellyVan Calcar, a mother of four

from Wyckoff. “My kids ask toeat there every day!”

Get a hearty dose of design inspiration—and

perhaps a teensy bit of home envy—at the

Junior Woman’s Club of Ridgewood’s 13th

annual Spring House Tour (201-444-5705,

www.jwcridgewood.com), which lets you

roam through five stunning area homes (four

in Ridgewood, one in Ho-Ho-Kus). The event

takes place on Thursday, May 13, from 9:30

a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and costs $40 per person;

proceeds benefit 25 local charities.

“Some of the homes have recently

undergone major renovations,” says club pres-

ident Bernadette Walsh, “and they all have a

lot of character.” Take, for instance, the

10,000-plus-square-foot Ridgewood Colonial

that features a chapel, a potting shed, gar-

dens, terraces—and a family room painted as

if you’re in a hot-air-balloon basket.

Visitors can tour the homes in any order;

volunteers are on hand at each location to

answer questions. And for participants looking

to replicate a certain look in their own spaces,

a brochure provides information about the

homes and the vendors who designed them.

Ridgewood resident Donna Bello-

Hansen has taken the tour each of the

past several years. “I’m an interior

designer, and I like to see what

my colleagues are doing and

what styles people are interested

in,” she says. “It’s also for a

wonderful cause, and the

Juniors always do a great job

organizing it.”

THE ABCs OF STYLE It’s as if a huge home décor fantasyland dropped

from the sky and landed beside Route 80. The space

is ABC Carpet & Home’s South Hackensack ware-

house store (201-641-3400, www.abchome.com), a

haven of all things fashion-forward, eclectic,

whimsical and expertly crafted. Think organic

mattresses; elegant Persian rugs; antiques

from China, India and Europe; furni-

ture by designers like Theodore

Alexander and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.

Another plus: The shop offers impressive discounts:

“Many products in the store are discounted 20 to 50

percent,” says Amy Chender, the company’s COO. For

even better bargains, check out the semi-annual

“blowout” sale, running April 28 through May 1.

If you crave a heaping plate of chem-

icals, hormones and preservatives,

pass right on by the GREEN DOORCAFÉ in Tenafly (201-567-8226,

www.greendoorcafenj.com). “We

serve food the way nature intended—

as naturally as possible,” says Leon

Bell, co-owner of the year-old BYO.

Dedicated to a “green” phi-

losophy, the eatery’s menu of tasty,

nutritious American fare features only

organic or hormone- and antibiotic-

free proteins, plus organic or locally

farmed produce. And don’t worry

about sky-high costs: “We keep

prices competitive with other casual

restaurants,” says Bell.

They don’t sacrifice flavor,

either. “People like us not just

because we offer ‘cleaner’ food, but

because it tastes great too,” says Bell.

At lunchtime try the all-natural turkey,

beef and veggie burgers ($4.50 to

$10.75) or the organic chicken salad

sandwich ($6.95). For dinner, favorites

include caramelized Berkshire pork

chops with hot-and-sour cranberry

compote, mashed sweet potatoes and

sautéed kale ($23); and the citrus-

glazed Lock Duart salmon with lemon

confit, black rice and sautéed kale

($21)—“our salmon isn’t farm-raised; it

comes from 20 miles off the northern

coast of Scotland,” says Bell.

You’d love to give her the moon and stars—but we suspect she’ll be happy witha meal she doesn’t have to cook or clean up. For some frilly fun, try takingher to the charming HARMONY TEA ROOM in Westwood (201-563-0382, www.harmonytearoom.com). With its scones, finger sand-wiches, desserts and 23 varieties of teas, the spot is full of yummypleasures. Be sure to call in advance: Mother’s Day seating is byreservation only, at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Savor Paris and Manhattan at once at LE JARDIN inEdgewater (201-224-9898, www.lejardinnj.com), whichoffers vistas of the New York skyline along with its fineFrench continental cuisine. A Mother’s Day three-course prix fixe dinner is $55 per person (reserva-tions required). For optimal views, ask for a seatin the outdoor garden or terrace.

Enjoy a buffet brunch of south-of-the-border and American favorites at BLUEMOON MEXICAN CAFÉ in WoodcliffLake (201-782-9500, www.bluemoonmexicancafe.com; $18.95/person). A plus:Clowns will be on hand to entertain kids.

PLAYFUL POOCHES: “I love

to wrestle and play ball with

my dogs,” says Skye. Adds her

mom, Faith: “When Skye plays

‘baby’ she brings the dogs into

her room, picks them up and

then puts them in a bassinet.

They don’t mind! They love attention.”

AQUA DOGS: “One time Karma fell in our pond in the backyard, but she swam

out OK,” says Skye. Says Faith: “We like to take Qui-Gon in the shower with us

since he doesn’t have any hair—it’s pretty funny.”

SHARING THE SPOTLIGHT: The family also has a Siberian husky, a third Chinese

Crested, two guinea pigs, a parrot and a newt!

ALLERGY-PROOF YOUR ENVIRONMENT• Wash that pollen out of your hair. Studies showthat hair can be a magnet for pollen, which can rub offonto sheets and pillows at bedtime. To outsmart thecling, wash your hair before bed. • Keep windows closed. And don’t forget to keepcar windows rolled up too, Dr. Miller adds.• Filter out the allergens. Using an air purifier andfilter on your vacuum can help rid your home of aller-gens. And for the best protection, opt for a true HEPAmodel. Unlike “HEPA-type” filters, they are proven toremove up to 99 percent of airborne mold.

EAT RIGHT TO EASE SYMPTOMS• Nosh on nuts. Almonds, peanuts and cashews arehigh in magnesium, a mineral found to boost lung func-tion and ease allergy symptoms. Studies show that low lev-els of magnesium raise the level of histamine, a chemicalin the body that triggers allergic reactions. • Savor something spicy. Spicy foods help thinmucous secretions, easing a stuffy nose. Try cayenne pep-per, ginger or garlic. Or opt for onions, which containquercetin—an antioxidant that’s a natural antihistamine.• Sip green tea. An antioxidant in the tea known asEGCG blocks compounds in the body that produce anallergic response. Drink two or three cups a day.• Sweeten with local honey. Because the bees feedon pollen from local flowers, trace amounts of the allergenend up in the honey, and eating just a little bit can slowlybuild your body’s tolerance. In fact, an informal study atXavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans foundthat just 2 teaspoons daily for six weeks eased symptoms.

FIND RELIEF WITH NATURAL REMEDIES• Try butterbur. A report in the journal Clinical &Experimental Allergy suggests that the herb can be justas effective as prescription drugs in easing allergysymptoms, thanks to chemicals that short-circuit the

body’s production of histamine.• Get “acupunctured.” Treatment with needles at spe-cific points in the body has been shown to reduce the pro-duction of cytokines, proteins that can trigger symptoms. • Invest in a neti pot. Researchers at the LaheyClinic in Massachusetts found that a sinus rinse dramat-ically eased symptoms in 84 percent of patients.

HEAD TO THE DRUGSTORE• Try over-the-counter remedies. Look for an anti-histamine, which is the active ingredient in brands likeZyrtec and Claritin. • Go prescription-strength. “Some patients requiremore aggressive therapy,” says Dr. Miller. If that’s you,ask your doctor about a prescription for a stronger anti-histamine like Allegra or Xyzal.

GET PROFESSIONAL HELP• Start allergy shots. “This immunotherapy can behighly effective,” says Dr. Miller. The shots desensitizeyour body to allergens, eliminating reactions and symp-toms. The regular injections can take four years to com-plete, but some relief is found within a few months.• Try the latest immunotherapy. Popular in Europe,sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) involves placing dropsof the allergen under the tongue to build up tolerance. Andit works in 85 percent of patients. “The main advantage isconvenience, since the oral drops or tablets can be admin-istered at home,” says Ira Finegold, M.D., clinical profes-sor of medicine at Columbia University. “And it appearsto be safer than conventional immunotherapy.” ■

KettleMANIACHANNEL YOUR INNER STRONGMAN WITH KETTLEBELLS—

OLD-SCHOOL WEIGHTS THAT YIELD BIG-TIME RESULTS

What they areKettlebells are large hunks of cast iron,each with a thick handle. Perhaps theultimate retro fitness rage, they wereoriginally used by 18th-centuryRussian bodybuilders—and kitschlovers may recognize them as the quin-tessential “old-time” weights seen instrongman photos of yore.

Why the resurgence? In a nut-shell: They’re effective and efficient.“You can get a great workout in just 20minutes,” says personal trainer andcertified kettlebell instructor JoeWalker, owner of Rethink Fitness inFranklin Lakes. “And since the movescombine cardio with strength training,you kill two birds with one stone.”

Then there’s the fun factor:Many kettlebell exercises involveswinging the weights around yourbody—moves that are way moreenjoyable than simply pounding thetreadmill or curling a barbell.

What they workArms, abs, legs, glutes—and every-thing in between. “Kettlebells reallyprovide a total-body exercise, toes tofingertips,” says Walker. “The exerciseshelp you build a nice, strong core andlower back, which helps if you sufferfrom low-back pain.”

Kettlebells can up the intensityof traditional strength-training moves

like curls or presses. That’s because,unlike with dumbbells and barbells, theweight is centered a few inches below thehandle, making your body work harder tocontrol it.

But it’s not all about the brute force:Because the weights are so compact, you canswing them between your legs, over your heador around your torso. “You could never swing abarbell between your legs,” notes Walker, “and if you tried it with dumbbell, you’d likely smash your legs with it.” The result is a workout that com-bines strength, velocity, dexterityand concentration.

“Because there’s so muchgoing on, kettlebells help improvecoordination and enhance flexi-bility in your hips and shoulders,”Walker adds.

Wyckoff resident BrianRavettine, 40, takes 1-hour kettle-bell lessons twice a week, and hasnoticed significant results: “I justdon’t have the time to spend two orthree hours in the gym,” he says.“Kettlebells give me a full-bodyworkout, and my core is so muchstronger now. They’re also not astaxing on my joints as loadingweights onto a bar.”

Another plus: According toa study conducted by the AmericanCouncil on Exercise and re-searchers from the University ofWisconsin, a typical kettlebellworkout can burn a whopping 20calories per minute.

How to use ’emYou can start slow with traditional strength-trainingmoves like overhead presses and bent-over rows. But thereal fun comes from swinging these babies around.Fittingly, a favorite move is the two-handed kettlebellswing: Stand about a foot behind the kettlebell with your

legs shoulder-width apart.Squat down a bit and grab thebell with both hands. Keepingyour weight on your heels, abstight and back straight, swingthe weight backward betweenyour legs past your hips, thenstand up and swing it forwardto eye level, driving your hipsforward. Repeat 15 to 20 times.

For the tactical lunge,stand up straight holding thekettlebell in your right hand.Take a step, placing your leftleg back into a lunge position,then pass the weight betweenyour legs to your left hand.Return to starting position andrepeat on the opposite side,aiming for 10 reps.

Other moves involve punching your arm over-head, letting the bell rotate around your wrist. Becauseproper form can be a tricky thing with kettlebells, it’s agood idea to seek out professional instruction to avoidinjury. And as with any exercise, get your doctor’s OKbefore starting. ■

TO SALT OR NOT TO SALT? IF YOU’VEbeen following the medical news this year, youknow that this question has morphed intosomething of a contentious issue. The public conversa-tion began in earnest in January, when New York CityMayor Michael Bloomberg announced an effort toreduce the nation’s salt intake by 25 percent over the nextfive years. But soon after, an article in Journal of theAmerican Medical Association called into questionBloomberg’s very argument that reducing sodium wouldhelp prevent heart attacks and stroke. The piece reportedthat a low-salt diet was associated with lower rates of dis-ease and death in only five of 11 studies examined. Theothers found that people on low-salt diets fared either thesame as or worse than those on unrestricted salt diets.

But many experts were not swayed by these find-ings. “You can occasionally find studies that are not con-sistent, but the vast majority support the hypothesis thatAmericans eat too much salt and that increases our risk ofdisease and stroke,” says Marcus Williams, M.D., cardiol-

saltCONFUSED BY THE CONFLICTING

REPORTS ABOUT DIETARY

SODIUM? OUR EXPERTS WEIGH IN

ogist with Cardiac Associates of North Jersey in Oaklandand president of the Association of Black Cardiologists.“I’m strongly in favor of a lower-salt diet.”

Two reports since then have bolstered Williams’position: A New England Journal of Medicine study foundthat consuming 3 fewer grams of salt per day could cut theannual number of deaths by 44,000. And a study in Annalsof Internal Medicine concluded that reducing sodium by 10 percent would prevent almost 500,000 heart attacks.

“The more salt in blood vessels, the more fluidthat is attracted in and the higher the blood pressure,”explains cardiologist William Tansey III, M.D., a mem-ber of the American Heart Association Founders AffiliateBoard of Directors. What’s important to remember, addsDr. Williams, is that up to 77 percent of dietary salt is“hidden” in processed foods. Thus, the best way to lowersalt is simply to eat freshly prepared meals. ■

Meryl Stern, HaworthAt first glance, Meryl Stern’s Haworth dining roommay appear a cozy, traditional haven—but all is notwhat it seems. What the picture does not reveal:“The space has a loft-like floor plan, so the diningroom is open to an adjoining living room and atriumroom,” says Stern, owner of Meryl Stern Interiors inHaworth. That means lots of space and light to coun-terbalance the dining room’s dark, rich wood. And about that wood—what appears

to be a paneled wall is actually the reverse side of Stern’s kitchen cupboards. “Instead ofputting up sheetrock, I just put paneling on the back of the cabinets themselves.”

A modern twist comes from a custom-designed contemporary metal chandelier with linenshades from O’Lampia, which hangs above a classic cherry wood table and fruitwood chairs fromLucullus in New Orleans and a Ralph Lauren sisal rug. The room also offers convenience forStern, who often hosts dinner parties and meetings. “The marble counter that the candelabras siton is good for both serving and display, and the table can expand to fit 16 people,” she says.

Felicia Zwebner, Teaneck“I wanted something timeless but fresh,” says designerFelicia Zwebner of Art de Triomphe in Teaneck, describingher Teaneck great room, done in a nature-inspired palette.“I have four young children who certainly don’t want tolive in a museum, but I also try to stay away from trends.”

Zwebner and her family can enjoy the space fromtwo cream-colored English Knole sofas from Mason-Artin Manhattan, upholstered in Nancy Corzine Italian che-nille. A brown tufted leather ottoman in the center func-

tions as a coffee table and leg rest—“it’s great when you want to kick back andrelax, and if there’s a stain I can just use a leather cleaner,” says the designer.Other soothing touches include a subtly striped Zoffany wallpaper, a fancifulwoolen silk rug from Kravet and crewel pillows by Nancy Corzine.

Sharon L. Sherman, WyckoffA vivid, contemporary dining space to display cherished mementos—that was designerSharon L. Sherman’s vision for her Wyckoff dining room. “I wanted to use warm, rich col-ors and several pieces that were given to us or that we purchased while traveling,” saysSherman, owner of Thyme & Place Design in Wyckoff. Georgian Brick paint fromBenjamin Moore creates a colorful backdrop to the space, which is anchored by a sleekcherry dining table and chairs—wedding gifts to the designer. A thin metal chandelier andsconce from Visual Comfort provide modern illumination. Among the room’s artwork is acollection of four paintings by Sherman’s late mother. “I put those there as a homage to her.”

TIP: “Hang items you like—

just make sure there is some

continuity to how you display

them. The four paintings my

mother made, grouped to-

gether on the right wall, all

have frames of a similar color.”{ }

Blanka Jurecky, Englewood“The power of color is the most important feature in any interiordesign,” says designer Blanka Jurecky of Blanka Jurecky Interiorsin Englewood. Case in point: Her Englewood home’s formal livingroom, where bold red splashes steal the show. The daring palettewas inspired by the wallpaper left by the previous homeowners.“Burgundy is my favorite color, so I decided to keep the paper anddecorate the room around it,” says Jurecky. She balanced the spacewith neutral touches, including a Taylor King sofa upholstered in

white chenille from Kravet and a glass-top table from Emerson et Cie. But the room’skey hue repeats itself in many furnishings, such as Glant silk window treatments fromInterior Art & Design in Hackensack and a wooden chair and bench from TaylorKing, each upholstered in a different red silk. A burl wood sideboard from ScottThomas and decorative area rug from Nourison in Saddle Brook offer extra luxury.

}{TIP: “Lighter colors can

help brighten very dark

rooms, while deeper, richer

colors are good choices for

rooms that allow a lot of

light in.”

Suzanne Curtis, Ho-Ho-KusTired of her Ho-Ho-Kus Colonial’s dated 1940s kitchen, designerSuzanne Curtis of Suzanne Curtis Interior Design in Ho-Ho-Kus embarked on an ambitious renovation. The first step?Expand the space: Curtis knocked down part of a wall to createthe quaint breakfast area, featuring a planked and distressed alderwood table from Fremarc Designs, wooden chairs upholstered ingreen chenille and animal-print cushions and a custom chande-lier from 2nd Ave. Lighting. The designer also converted a

screened-in porch into a peaceful seating nook, complete with comfy chairsupholstered in damask-pattern chenille. “It’s my husband’s favorite spot to sit,read and look out onto our backyard pond,” says Curtis.

For the kitchen proper, the aesthetic was “European country.” Andwhile it incorporates many new elements—such as diamond-patternedAmtico vinyl flooring and Cowtan & Tout valances with a fruit-and-platedesign—Curtis also retained some original features. Rather than replace theold kitchen’s “utilitarian-looking” birch plywood cabinets, for instance, thedesigner updated them with molding, new hardware and a fresh faux finish. ■

TIP: “During a remodel, you

don’t necessarily have to start

from scratch and have every-

thing new. You can certainly

work with things you already

own, such as a piece of furni-

ture that can be refurbished.”

GREAT ROOM,EDGEWATERBEFOREYes, there was the overstuffed, unsightly bookcase. Andthe dining table stacked high with papers. But the realproblem plaguing this Edgewater great room was its lackof focus: “The living and dining areas were both in oneroom—two individual spaces that really did not relate toeach other,” says designer Maureen Fiori of MaureenFiori LLC in Franklin Lakes.

And while elegance was a priority, the couple—anticipating future grandchildren and visits by the“granddog”—also wanted the room to be child- and pet-friendly, all while housing their prized chinaware andpieces of Swarovski crystal.

To make it all happen, Fiori teamed up withdesigner and organizational specialist Debra Young ofDebra Young Designs in Cliffside Park. Together, thepair embarked on what Fiori terms “a complete do-over.”

AFTERThe first step in achieving the harmony Fiori sought wasfinding storage for all the sundry books, papers, platesand crystal that had been cluttering up the space. Thesolution was threefold. First came a custom floor-to-ceil-ing built-in wall unit, designed with input from Fiori,Young and pros from Ulrich Inc. of Ridgewood, whocrafted the piece. The finished product functions as anentertainment center, storage space, filing cabinet anddisplay area. An added bonus: “This piece adds a lot ofarchitectural detail, of which there was very little in theroom,” says Fiori. A pair of elegant walnut and bronzeBaker chests, meanwhile, house the couple’s china.

Fiori then unified the room by covering the floorwith a single Sultanabad rug and choosing multifunc-tional pieces that could be used in both the dining andliving areas—the dining chairs by Jessica Charles, forinstance, can serve as extra seating in the living room,while a desk by Hickory Chair can augment the EthanAllen dining table to accommodate larger gatherings.

In the living room, a Kravet couch and Daphachairs reflect the homeowners’ appreciation of classicpieces. And the whole space has been designed to with-stand jubilant family get-togethers: “The fabrics and fur-nishings are extremely durable, and we had everythingtreated for additional stain-resistance.” Before

MUSIC ROOM,OLD TAPPANBEFORE Although their 9,000-square-foot Old Tappan home wasnewly built, the owners were less than happy with itsless-than-memorable style. “We began with basically a

blank slate,” says Englewood-based designer MaureenMcMahon of Interiors, Designs by Maureen McMahonof the empty space she would transform into a sumptu-ous salon/music room. A built-in Ubatuba granite-topped bar proved to be neither functional nor attractive,while a plain mirror seemed to serve no purpose in its

perch above the fireplace. “It didn’treflect anything!” says McMahon.

Her goal was to set the toneof “luxurious but not overwhelm-ing” that the owners soughtthroughout the first floor. “This is one of the first rooms you seeupon entering the home, and theywanted it to have a striking, ele-gant appearance,” says McMahon.Another requirement: “They didnot want neutrals—this is a couplewho really appreciates color.”

AFTER Working closely with the home-owners, McMahon revamped thedrab space into a salon in a styleshe calls “soft contemporary.” Apalette of golds and reds—inspiredby artwork previously owned bythe family—gives the room a luxe-yet-livable atmosphere. Striped silkwindow treatments by Duraleesubtly echo the wall’s faux-paintedhorizontal stripes, while a strikingOriental carpet by Saxony providesa pop of color underfoot.

“The wife really wanted thecarpet, fabric and walls to be thestatement pieces in the room—besides the piano,” McMahon notes.

About that instrument:McMahon chose a Yamaha babygrand both for its grand visualstatement and its functionality. “Itold the couple, ‘The piano won’tjust be a piece of furniture thatlooks lovely—you have childrenwho can learn to play it.’” She was

proved right: two of the couple’s three children are nowtaking lessons.

Custom-built black lacquer cubes repeat thepiano’s sleek style, while a variety of silk Arté fabricshave transformed the homeowners’ existing sofa andchair. Table lamps by Arteriors and glass sconces byHempstead softly light the space. ■

WANT YOUR HOME TO MAKE A VIVID

STATEMENT? DIP INTO A BRIGHT PALETTE

Colors are the smiles of

nature,” said 19th-century

English writer Leigh Hunt—

but why should the great

outdoors have all the fun?

Our own little man-made corners of the

world can also benefit from startling swaths

of vibrant hues. Sure, dressing a room in a

brilliant shade can be a daring tact. But as

these inspiring rooms reveal, when done to

proper effect, this dazzling choice can

engender grins aplenty—a reaction that

would surely do Mr. Hunt (not to mention

our old friend Roy G. Biv) proud.

RED: In the rosy Manhattan living room of designer Miles

Redd, the all-out glamour of an oversized red-velvet couch is

tempered by a host of eclectic touches—a gallery-like wall of

artwork, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves packed with beloved

tomes and a subtly patterned parquet floor. Whimsical blue

pillows provide cushy points of contrast.

effect is further enhanced by

the room’s multitude of Asian

touches—Japanese Imari plates,

a golden statue of a Buddhist

goddess and a bamboo coffee

table among them.


At HOME

YELLOW: White trimmed with black may be

the dominant palette in this master bedroom,

but it’s the cleverly placed patches of yellow

that give the space a lemony pizzazz. In addi-

tion to contrasting colors, the owner of this

18th-century Hudson Valley home played with

lines and curves to create the just-right balance

of quirky and sleek.

such a bold statement piece taking center

VIOLET: Who needs paint? This modern

bedroom proves that, just like your mother

told you, it’s what’s on the inside that counts—

and what’s inside here is a chic bed and side

table imbued with bold purple splashes, plus a

comforter, rug and lamp that repeat the hue

while echoing the furniture’s sharp angles. ■

BLUE: A showstopping electric-blue silk

couch is the unabashed star of this Paris living

room. More muted but equally enticing is the

Cubist painting perched above; a pair of

simple-but-fanciful lamps and a trio of glass

candlesticks, meanwhile, provide opportunities

for illumination as well as spots of visual relief.

LISA OZ, WIFE OF TV’S FAMOUS DOCTOR,

STEPS OUT OF THE SHADOWS WITH

A NEW BOOK ON RELATIONSHIPS

Lisa Oz on the back

porch of her Cliffside

Park home

W ho better than Cliff-side Park resident LisaOz to “write the book”

on relationships? Married for 25years to heart surgeon and best-selling author Mehmet Oz, M.D.,longtime Oprah regular and host ofthe nationally syndicated The Dr.Oz Show, she’s given him behind-the-scenes aid, helping to conceivehis first TV program and offeringguidance for the popular You seriesof books he co-wrote with MichaelRoizen, M.D. Now it’s her turn to

help as she wins renown as the author of Us: TransformingOurselves and the Relationships that Matter Most (Free Press).

“Mehmet helped me figure out sound bites—what I can say and should say on TV,” Oz says. “Left tomy own devices, I would just go on and on!”

It’s a role switch many women can understand. Foryears Lisa has stood quietly in her husband’s shadow, rais-ing their children (Daphne, Zoe, Arabella and Oliver) andserving as president of the family business, Oz Works.

“Rather than put myself on the line, Ifound myself more and more supporting him inhis work,” she says. “After awhile, I wasn’t reallyfulfilled by that.”

But the path to fulfillment, she found, laythrough struggle. “I’m a procrastinator, a last-minute-doer—or I don’t hand things in at all,”Oz admits. “Now I’ve learned that I can com-plete something, which was a huge revelation.”

Writing a book on relationships, ofcourse, means putting her own under somescrutiny, and she hasn’t pulled any punches:Things haven’t always been magical in theland of Oz. As her husband’s career got hot, she notes, sotoo did the marital spats, as Lisa often berated Mehmetfor not spending enough time at home.

“Finally, I realized that wasn’t what I was actuallymad about,” she says. “I really needed to be more inde-pendent—I needed my own creative outlet.”

The new author in the family is equally candidabout the personal struggles she’s faced—with weight,for example, especially after her pregnancies.

“Given my passion for food, the odds are prettygood that I will never be X-ray thin. And when I’m feelingfat, I’m more likely to be mean, snappish and insecure.”

To counter this, she tries to eat well—she’s beenvegetarian since her teens—and exercise regularly. “Ofcourse, every time I travel, the kids stock up on potatochips!” says Oz.

Still, she notes that two of her kids are “strict” veg-etarians, while Daphne, the oldest, follows a mostly meat-less diet. “But my son—he’ll get angry if he sees animalsbeing hurt and then he’ll go out and eat ribs! I don’t get it.But he’s only 10, so I don’t want him to agree to somethingbefore he can fully understand what he’s committing to.”

As for downtime, Oz admits there’s not much if it.“Mehmet always needs to be doing an activity, but hedoesn’t like to go to movies, restaurants or hang out withfriends, so there’s no social life!” she says. “So we do yogaC

together, play tennis, ski. And we do stuff withthe kids: We go to the museum or the farmer’smarket in Union Square. We’ll also work

together, brainstorming shows or future book ideas.”Much of this occurs in the stucco, terra cotta-

roofed Cliffside Park home the couple built seven yearsago. The location has even inspired a possible new hobby:“I’m thinking of taking flying lessons—Teterboro is soclose! I’m terrified of it. But it’s good for me to stretch.”

Indeed, it’s been a year of stretching for Lisa Oz.“This book was like pulling teeth,” she admits. “But ris-ing to the challenge, learning to just get out of my ownway and get it done—it was good all the way around.” ■

HER FIVE SIBLINGS: “We’re so close you can’t play

Pictionary with us, because I’ll draw a line and they’ll

be like, ‘taxi cab!’”

HER SPIRITUALITY: “I was raised Swedenborgian, and

religion was always a big part of my life.”

SU HEALTHY CUISINE IN EDGEWATER: “It’s a vegan

restaurant and it’s unbelievable, so good!”

KUNG FU: “The structure is good for me—I need that

discipline.”

AMAZON.COM: “I have a book addiction. Jeff Bezos

and I are having a secret affair! Or we should be, any-

way, with the amount of books I’m buying.”

and flavor craving. You’ll be prepped for that fes-tival of flavor thanks to the complimentary bowl of bhel—a variety of chaat made here with puffedrice, onion and a mysterious blend of spices—served for you to munch as you ponder the menu.All these treats could certainly spoil your appetite, sopractice restraint.

After all, you’ll want to order a bread basket,a bountiful array of the naan (we had the garlickind), kulcha and paratha absolutely necessary forenjoying every last drop of the sauces. But fear not:This is not to say the preparations are in any waygreasy, heavy or sodden, as can be the case with lessskillfully prepared Indian cuisine. Instead, the dishesand accompaniments are fresh and delightful—likethe mellow mango sauce gracing the succulentshrimp appetizer, as well as the chutney and corian-der dips.

The bread also came in handy for savoring thebaigan, chunks of eggplant stewed with peanuts, sesameand coconut. A hearty and filling vegetarian entrée, itboasts layers of flavor and texture—from the mild egg-plant to the crunchy peanut to the sweet coconut.

You’ll want to try something from the tandoor, andwe opted for the lahori seekh kebab: three minced lambkebabs crusted with onions and spices then cooked in theclay oven for a simple yet nicely nuanced entrée. A sideof raita, the refreshing yogurt-cucumber dip, was deli-cious scooped up with a bit of bread or atop a forkful of

lamb. The three accompanying chut-neys, however, were less successful—salty and overspiced.

If you’re still hungry afterenjoying the big made-to-share por-tions at Mantra, you can pick from amodest assortment of traditionalIndian desserts. We sampled the kulfi,a type of ice cream that came in threeflavors (mango, vanilla and pistachio),and rasmalai, cottage cheese dump-lings floating in a bowl of saffron-infused cream. While both are good,they’re entirely skippable. So don’tfeel bad if you fill up on savory andhave no room for sweet—or if you’dprefer to cap off your evening withanother cocktail amid the lounge’smerry buzz. ■

FROM GUACAMOLE TO PEKING DUCK ROLLS,dishes prepared at your table somehow seem to elevatethe dining experience. Now chaat—Indian snacks usu-ally sold from street-vendor carts—has joined the pan-theon of tableside-prep. At least that’s the case atMantra, the sophisticated Indian eatery occupying theold Namaskaar spot on Route 4 West, where you canwatch the ingredients get minced, chopped, diced,spiced and ultimately tossed together with a flourish.

Elegantly decorated in shades of saffron, fromdeep orange-red to golden yellow, the space feels posh tobe sure. Arrive early if you like andhave a specialty martini—like theGoan, a sweet and spicy orangevodka drink featuring fresh car-damom and pineapple juice, or arefreshing cucumber lemonade ginmartini made sweet with Sprite—atthe eatery’s “Nirvana” lounge.Although it’s trying a tad too hard tobe swanky, the spacious, boutique-like bar is perfect for meeting friendsand enjoying the bites and nibblesthat make Mantra so tantalizing.

Certainly, the aforementionedchaat—a blend of chickpeas, dicedpotatoes and papdi (fried doughcrisps), tossed in a spicy sauce—is atemptation. Crispy, starchy, tangy, atouch sweet, it satisfies every texture

Today, there are increasing numbers over 45 years old

who are opting for laser vision corrections to get rid of

their reading and/or distance glasses. “Baby boomers

who’ve never needed glasses before are tired of

having 15 pairs of glasses scattered around the house,

car and office,” says Richard A. Norden, M.D.

Norden Laser Eye Associates uses the Eye

Q Laser, the fastest, most advanced correction

technology in the world to perform Custom LASIK,

a procedure that recognizes that each patient has

different vision needs. According to Dr. Norden, the

laser portion of the painless procedure actually only

takes about four to five seconds for each eye.

Vertical lines above the lips are certainly aggravated by smoking, but this is not the only cause of

prominent wrinkles above your lips. Simple movement of the lips over the years and loss of

elastic tissue and collagen can make this problem worse. Fortunately, there are some simple solutions.

Injecting tiny amounts of Botox® in the area will weaken the muscles that act like a purse string.

Th is can help prevent those lines from getting worse and help them to eventually fade. Fillers like

Juvederm® can be injected under the lines to help push them out. Th ese are eff ective but temporary

solutions so they need to be repeated several times a year for the best results.

A more long term solution is a laser procedure to “resurface” the skin. When performed with our

state of art Smartskin® laser, this treatment is not as complicated as it sounds. In fact it is very simple

and almost painless. We call it the “Omni Laser Kiss.” It softens, wrinkles, improves texture and

stimulates collagen. Th is treatment is the best overall solution for “smoker’s lips” and it is also great for rejuvenating skin all over your

face and neck. Call us today to schedule a free consultation with Dr. Song.

“Why do I have ‘smoker’s lips’ when I don’t even smoke?”

ONCE UPON A TIME, IT WAS ALL ABOUT THEale, bread and snaps. While ginger was revered as culi-nary gold in many cultures, here it was largely relegatedto one bubbly beverage and a few beloved baked treats.

But as the popularity of “Asian fusion” fare hassurged in recent decades, so too has Americans’ love ofthis cuisine’s favorite spice. Piled in a zesty heap besideour sushi rolls; blended with sesame into a savory sauce;stir-fried with meat, veggies, garlic and shallots—we cameto realize that just a small spoon of this piquant spicecould transform an already-delish dish intosomething exotically enticing.

First cultivated in Asia sev-eral millennia ago, ginger has alsobeen long revered as something of acure-all: Boiled into a tea or eatenraw, it has been used to treat condi-tions ranging from nausea to joint

inflammation. Recent research has supported—andexpanded on—these claims, crediting the spice’s high po-tassium and magnesium levels for its circulation-boostingeffects and success in relieving cold and flu symptoms.

Ginger is readily available year-round at yourlocal supermarket—and don’t be daunted by its rough,knobby exterior. Look for roots with a spicy fragranceand smooth skin (wrinkling or cracking can mean dryness or age); the interior flesh should be firm andcrisp. After using, wrap leftover ginger tightly in plastic

wrap—it can be stored in the refrigeratorfor about three weeks, or frozen for up

to three months. While a quick recipe search will

yield many a tempting concoction (seerecipe above), the fresh root is just as

easily grated raw into salads and soups—letting you get your ginger in a snap! ■
