NEWTOWN:A SLICE OF AMERICANA

By Jeff WernerBucksLocalNews.com

NEWTOWN From its roots as William

Penns New Town to its history as the

county seat and later as a retail hub for

independent businesses, Newtown is the

center of it all.

Its downtown streets are lined with an

eclectic mix of small, independently-owned

businesses, providing the lifeblood of the

community and offering residents and visi-tors a great place to live, work and shop.

Our local mix is diverse and sometimes

quirky, but that is what makes it so unique

and exciting to visit, said David Witchell,

who operates David Witchell Spa Salon and

Boutique on State Street in the heart of

historic Newtown.

Bikes, olives, bake at home pizza, gourmet

restaurants and BYOBs, fantastic galler-

ies, fine womens clothing, shoes, and shoe

repairs and a clock shop and hardware store

... tired yet? he asks. Try the deli for a

quick cup of soup and keep going. A slice

of history and a slice of pie, all in the same

block.

And speaking of pie, Witchell describes the

community as a piece of cherry pie. Its

Americana at its finest. When someone is

looking for a place to step out of the pres-

ent day and into a time and place where life

felt easier, more relaxed and civilized, I say

visit Newtown. You will leave feeling as if

you were on vacation for the day. Newtown

is a perfect place to shop, eat, relax and hitthe rewind button on the soul.

In 1994, Witchell, a Philadelphia stylist,

and his partner, Galina, an established

entrepreneur for more than a decade, chose

Newtown when they were looking to estab-

lish a new kind of spa and salon.

We identified Newtown as a perfect place

to give birth to the David J. Witchell brand

and the Bucks County area as a great place

to enjoy country living while still being

easily accessible to the major metropolitan

areas of New York City and Philadelphia,

said Witchell.

State Street has historically been at the

center of it all, he said. Our destination

was once a stop for every local farmer and

homeowner. Therefore, Welcome Home

was the natural greeting for our business.

It was a smart move for Witchell. The salon,

spa and boutique are among the busiest

in town.

Inside the 14,000 square foot destination

for beauty, Witchell said body, mind and

home can all get a make-over.

The lower level features an Aspen chalet-

style spa. The main level is dedicated to hair

services. The lobby is a complete bath and

body shop with accents and furniture for

the home. The mezzanine level houses an

exclusive womens boutique that

specializes in occasion dressing and

custom designs.

The perfect place to hit the rewind button on the soul.

Historic State Street is home to an eclectic mix of businesses.

In addition, the property includes a carriage house that has been

converted into a nail department for luxury nail services.

Over on Sycamore Street, Sandi Thomas, who has owned and

operated the Carriage House for a little more than a decade, said

she was attracted to Newtown by its quaint, historic charm.

Its a wonderful small town. You can take a little walking tour

down Sycamore and up State Street and discover the history by

reading all the historic plaques they have, she said.

We also have a nice selection of different stores. Theres food,

candy, shoes, dresses, accessories. We touch on pretty much every-

thing, she said. Theres a lot to come and see and just the beauty

of the town, with all the pretty churches, the landscaping, the old

streets and the creek. Its just a nice little town.Thomas opened her first store 11 years ago on North State Street

near the Newtown Theatre selling country household items. She

later moved to Sycamore Street across from Bill Marsh Ford before

finding her current location at 221 North Sycamore Street.

Sycamore is becoming more popular, said Thomas. Were see-

ing more foot traffic since they put in the Green Parrot. And when-

ever the Acme site is developed we should have a lot more.

Were trying a lot more to bring people to town, with events like

Welcome Day and all the things that Sycamore Street is trying,

like Trick-A-More Treat, said Thomas.

Like Sycamore Street, the Carriage House is constantly changing to

meet the needs of its customers.

Six years ago, Thomas transformed her business from country

household to a womens boutique, anchored by Vera Bradley, a

popular designer purse handbag and accessories line. She also

introduced new jewelry, including the popular Chamilia line.

STATE STREETSWINGERS


NEWTOWN - With the weather gettingcolder and the nights growing longer, itsthe perfect time to plan an evening rendez-vous with The Jazz Celebration Big Band.

Inside the warm and inviting walls of thehistoric Temperance House on State Street,youll find this talented group of musiciansbringing back the Big Band swing music

made famous by the likes of Count Basie,Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, WoodyHerman and Stan Kenton.

From 8 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 27, Nov. 17 andDec. 14, band leader Paul Morris invitesguests to grab some dinner or a late eve-ning snack and join the band as it gets intothe swing of the Big Band era of the late1930s and 1940s.

We have no idealized dreams of becom-ing superstars. We just want to play,

said Morris, of his band. We just want toperform and share this great music withothers.

For a $10 cover, guests can expect ahigh energy performance from the17-piece band.

When everyone is playing full throttle,its a pretty powerful thing, says Morris.

And I dont mean loud in volume, which

it can be, but when you have this com-bination of instruments cranked up andeverybody is feeding off everybody else,there is this energy amongst the bandthats pretty powerful stuff, he says.

The band is made up of five saxophones,four trombones, four trumpets, a guitar,piano, bass and drums, all hailing froman impressive background on Broadwayand as backup performers for suchtalents as Tony Bennett, Joe Piscopo,Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minnelli,

Aretha Franklin, Johnny Mathis, TheTemptations, Bobby Rydell and others.

We have fabulous players, said Morris,noting that one of the bands trumpetersplayed with Maynard Ferguson for fiveyears and performed on Broadway for 25years and one of its trombonists openedfor Man of La Mancha and played theentire run of Company.

Joining the band for the special evenings

of Big Band jazz is vocalist ClaudiaPerry, wife of band leader Paul Morrisand a well known area composer/lyricist,performer, playwright and director.

On an average night, the band willperform between 16 and 18 tunes. Ofthose, Claudia will sing about five pieces.

Morris guarantees that returning guests wont hear the same

thing twice. The instrumentalists perform music from a library

of between 200 to 300 tunes, which Morris brings with him to

the Temperance House. His library at home contains well over1,000 pieces of music.

Among the bands favorites is a swing treatment of the hit

song, Time After Time from the movie, It Happened in

Brooklyn, featuring Frank Sinatra.

Its very sweet and romantic, says Morris. Its a great

structure, musically. Harmonically, its great. Melodically, its

great. Oftentimes those standard tunes just lend themselves to

interpretation by jazz musicians.

Another favorite tune is the Cole Porter song, Night and Day,

Morris, a trombonist and a retired Neshaminy band director at

Carl Sandburg Middle School, started the band in 2007.

We started off as a rehearsal band, getting together informally

and playing, said Morris. After doing that for a while, we

thought it would be nice if we could play somewhere.

Their first gig was at Pocos in Doylestown, where they played

for a year before finding a new venue at The Temperance

House thanks to their guitar player, John Sheridan, a Bucks

County Community College professor who at the time was

playing with a jazz trio at the Temperance House and made the

connection for the band.

The Temperance House has been a win-win for us and the

restaurant, said Morris. We get the cover charge from all thepeople who come to see us and they are also drinking and |eat-

ing food, which benefits the restaurant.

The band traditionally performs on the fourth Thursday of the

month from 8 to 10 p.m., however, with the holiday season

coming up take note of the bands revised and updated

schedule.

They will perform Thursday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m., Thursday,

Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. and Thursday, Dec. 14 at 8 p.m.

Advance reservations are recommended by calling 215-860-

9975. The Temperance House is located at 5 South State Street

in Newtown.

In addition, she is the exclusive dealer in

the Newtown area for the popular ByersChoice Carolers. On the second floor of the

boutique youll find an entire Christmas

village featuring the carolers. Its worth just

taking a peek.

While State and Sycamore have their

charm, Newtowns eclectic mix of indepen-

dent businesses also extends to the nearby

shopping centers that flank the commu-

nitys western end.

That is where youll find George Parente

and his popular pet store, Dogs & Cats

Rule. The store is located in the Newtown

Shopping Center just off the NewtownBypass.

Newtowns great. You can find just about

everything you need right here, he said.

With a little bit of a mix with the national

chains, like Bed, Bath and Beyond and the

Staples, and the GAP, of course, which

were lucky to have, and you mix it with

the independent merchants, theres nothing

you cant find in town.

Parente said the only town thats com-

parable to Newtown in Bucks County

is Doylestown. When you talk about

Doylestown, Princeton and Newtown,theyre all kind of in the same class. Its no

coincidence that all the best stores are in

these towns because the best customers are

in and around these towns.

Parente said he chose to locate his business

in Newtown for two reasons its close to

home and because of the customers. The

customers are very good in Newtown. They

know what they want. And theyre my

neighbors. We all know the same stories,

he said.

As an independently owned business,

Parente said one big advantage he has over

the national chains is customer service and

decision making. We can turn on a dime,

he said.

If a customer comes in and asks for a

product, we can find it and bring it here,

said Parente. If its a corporate situation,

it has to go through the chain of command

and this and that.

Because of that, the chains miss some great

opportunities, he said. One of my best sell-

ers now is Himalayan Dog Chews, whichare dehydrated cheese from India, he said.

I now buy a box with 108 pieces in it every

month. That puts me six months, maybe sev-

eral years ahead of my competitors because

we can make the snap decisions.

Service is key, said Parente, not just for

him but for every small, independently run

business. We try to ask everybody if we

can carry your bag out. When someone

wants a product were out of, we can

immediately call our other two stores and

bingo we can have the product there that

night or the next day.

Were all about our customers and thats

whats great about independents, he said.

They are there for their customers.

EURASIAN FLAIR


NEWTOWNOne of Newtowns best

kept foodie secrets is also one of its tastiest.

And dont take our word for it. Read what

one longtime Duck Sauce customer has to

say: The food is luscious. Its rich. Its not

your typical Chinese restaurant. The foods

are very natural tasting and exciting.

Located inside the historic walls of the

White Hall Hotel on South State Street,Duck Sauce is known for its fine Eurasian

cuisine, a mouth watering blend of Euro-

pean cooking styles infused with Chinese

Asian flavors.

Entrees like Chile Smoke Shrimp and Scal-

lop, a flavorful dish accented with spicy

pineapple fried rice and drizzled with scal-

lion sauce, and the restaurants popular

lobster salad arrive at the table as works of

culinary art created by chef/owner Tony

Huang and his kitchen staff.

Huang, who studied to become an architect

before attending culinary school, draws on

his design skills to create culinary master-

pieces in the kitchen that not only look good,

but are equally satisfying to the palate.

Popular dishes among his regulars are the

miso glazed Chilean sea bass, roast duck

breast with hot plum port wine sauce,

grilled seafood citrus soy, Sashimin ahi tuna

salad and wasabi beef.

His salad selection is also popular, from its

sea scallop salad and crispy calamari salad

to its spicy crab meat salad.

In addition, customers can order from a full

classic Chinese food menu, featuring Can-

tonese and Szechwan pork, chicken, beef

and seafood dishes. Many of the recipes are

handed down from his father, who special-

ized in traditional Chinese cooking.

During the winter season, look for more

gamey meats, including venison and pork

chops on the menu. The restaurant also

offers daily specials.

Everything is made fresh daily, from the

dumplings to the spring roll and wasabi

mashed potatoes, said Huang. Even though

we dont make flour and egg noodles, they

are made fresh off premises and delivered

daily. Vegetables and seafood also arrive

fresh every day.

Freshness and good quality is the key to

success at Duck Sauce, said Huang. Thats

the most important, he said.

Despite his busy schedule at the restaurant,

Huang carves out time to stay on top of the

latest food trends by reading magazines andwebsites and sampling the latest dishes at

restaurants in New York City.

Hell also spend his weeks vacation travel-

ing to different countries to experience their

cuisines. His latest trip was to his native

Thailand where we experienced all the dif-

ferent cuisines of Thailand and I attended a

Duck Sauce owners Tony Huang and his wife, Amy Yao

culinary school class that taught local ingre-

dients and I experienced how they do it.

Huang and his wife, Amy Yao, who man-ages the front end of the business, have

operated the intimate 85-seat restaurant,

accentuated by Asian artwork, for a little

more than a decade.

After immigrating to the United States from

Taiwan when he was 14 years old, Huang

studied to become an architect.

I stayed out of the kitchen. I hated it,

said Huang, who grew up working for his

fathers restaurant.

But after three years of architectural school,

he returned to the kitchen, working for hisfather at his restaurant in Trenton.

He also returned to the classroom, this time

to study at a French culinary school. He then

moved to San Diego, Calif., with the idea of

opening his own restaurant there.

He honed his culinary skills by working at

a variety of restaurants - French, Mexican,

Japanese, Southwestern and others - where

he perfected his trade.

At the request of his mother, Huang

returned to the East coast to help his brother

with a small Chinese restaurant in the White

Hall Hotel in Newtown.

It was good because at the time we neededmore fusion here, said Huang, who finally

had the opportunity to try out his culinary

skills.

He closed the restaurant, dropped the Chin-

Chin name, and then reopened under the

name Duck Sauce. It was among the first in

the area to offer Eurasian cooking styles.

Many people who try it really enjoy it,

said Huang, of the fusion style. But we also

have the traditional Chinese menu if they

dont feel so adventurous.

Duck Sauce is located at 127 South State

Street in Newtown. For information, call

215-860-8879. Hours are 11 a.m. to mid-

night daily, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday,

noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday and 2:30 to

9:30 p.m. on Sunday.
