Rainbow Records is first business to receive approval for live music under new law
Rainbow Records is the first business in Newark to be licensed as a live entertainment venue under a new law that overturned the city's de-facto ban on live music. The special-use permit, which city council approved unanimously on Monday, allows the business to continue holding small concerts inside the store featuring local bands. Owner Melissa Forsythe said she has hosted a handful of shows each year since moving Rainbow to its current location in Pomeroy Station off Main Street in 2019. "We didn't know we weren't supposed to be doing live music events there, so that is my bad," Forsythe told council members. When hosting a show, Rainbow moves its product display cases outside to make room for people to gather inside. The shows, which are capped at 49 people, start at 6 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. to avoid running afoul of nighttime noise restrictions. Rainbow does not serve food and strictly bans alcohol, meaning the shows are open to all ages. "It really can't be overstated how important it is right now to have safe spaces for young people to go so that they are not out causing trouble," Forsythe said. "I always have myself, somebody who's

Noẽma will bring Mediterranean cuisine to Newark
A new restaurant aims to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Newark. Noẽma is scheduled to open later this month on Creek View Road, behind Timothy's of Newark and near the new Chapel Street Players theater. The name is inspired by the Greek word for “meaning." "For us, the meaning of life is to connect people around the table," said Ilias Stamatiadis, who owns the restaurant with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. "The concept is a Mediterranean restaurant, but really what we are after is connecting people. We want to be more social. We need to be more social." Born in Greece and raised in Sweden, Stamatiadis came to the United States 35 years ago. For much of his career, he helped run the chain of Pat's Pizzeria restaurants, which were founded by his wife's father. Six years ago, he and his family opened The Naked Olive, a Mediterranean restaurant in Kennett Square, Pa. As The Naked Olive gained popularity, Stamatiadis, who lives in Newark, decided to open a similar restaurant here. "Newark doesn't have a restaurant like that, so we thought we'd give it a try," he said. Noẽma will have a similar concept, with some different menu

The doctor is in: Newark architect lends a listening ear at farmers market
It’s a warm Sunday morning at the Newark Natural Foods farmers market, and nestled between a produce stall and a bakery stand in the parking lot of Newark Shopping Center, Willard Hurd is talking a young man through his girlfriend troubles. The sign above him reads “ARCHITECTURAL HELP, 25¢,” but it turns out people don’t always fully read the sign. Surprisingly, the college-aged man unloading his troubles isn’t an unusual case for Hurd. Since he set up his booth nearly 17 years ago, Hurd has spent most of his Sundays answering questions about solar panels and home additions, but Hurd said every once in a while someone, seeing open seats and a smiling face behind them, will come to him with more personal problems. Playing psychiatrist has just become an occasional part of the job. “I’ve had a dozen or so people who just needed someone to talk to, and I was there, so they sit down,” Hurd said. “I’ve got nothing else going on, not a line of people, so let’s do this.” Hurd, 59, an architect and chair of the Newark Planning Commission, said he started his booth at the farmer’s market in 2009. He had just been
