ART
At ABSOLUTE ZERO
ICE CREAM,
CREAM technique is
as much a part of the final
product as the ingredients that go
into it. Using an “anti-griddle” set at
below zero Fahrenheit, servers combine
a crème base with mix-ins such as fruit,
Graham crackers, chocolate and green
tea, and chop/combine the ingredients
with a flat metal spatula. A couple
minutes later, they use the implement
to fashion the cold confection into ice
cream rolls, which they arrange in a cup
alone or with toppings. The shop brings
a popular fixture of Manhattan’s Lower
East Side to trend-forward Montclair.

SPRING 2017 MONTCLAIR MAGAZINE
MUSIC TO OUR EARS
Montclair has an art museum and a film
festival to call its own; now we can add an
orchestra to our list of homegrown cultural
institutions. The non-profit MONTCLAIR
ORCHESTRA is a new ensemble of area
professional musicians, conservatory-level
students and highly trained amateurs. The
inaugural season, which is expected to kick off
in the fall, will feature a full orchestral concert
repertoire including traditional classical works,
as well as modern pieces and film scores.
Music Director David Chan brings a wealth of
experience from his position as longtime con-
certmaster of the MET Orchestra in New York.
Want to hear more? The public is invited to
attend an information session at 3 p.m. Sunday,
March 12, in the Montclair Public Library
auditorium at 50 S. Fullerton Ave.
COURTESY OF
FIAMMA WOOD FIRED
PIZZA was named Millburn’s 2015
Best New Restaurant by our sister
publication, Millburn & Short Hills
Magazine, and has a much-praised location in Westfield, too. So it’s understandable that owner
Charlie Magjuni and his partners would want to open a third outpost in foodie-friendly
Montclair. The Bloomfield Avenue locale features the same signature pizza baked in an Acunto
wood-fired brick oven from Italy, as well as a full menu including chicken and fish dishes, and
meatballs stuffed with homemade mozzarella. The Montclair eatery is the largest of the three
Fiammas, with seating for 100 and room for private parties.
