Dear Friends and Neighbors,

We are pleased to announce the addition of Brian Newman, our new Executive Chef.

Brian Newman comes to “Indian Road Café” from Southern Florida where he worked as a chef for more than 12 years. He began his career learning from his mother (who is also a chef) at her restaurant “The Gun Club Café” located in West Palm Beach.

Having no formal restaurant schooling, Brian eventually left the family nest and to work and train under Master Chef Daniel Ignizio at Vero Beach’s “The Black Pearl.” In time, Ignizio moved on and Brian took over all Executive Chef duties. Within his first year at “The Black Pearl” Brian was awarded two of Florida’s prestigious “Golden Fork” awards.

After moving to New York in 2007, Brian accepted an Executive Chef position at “44 Tapas” in Croton on Hudson, where he took on the challenge of starting a business from scratch. After designing the “44 Tapas” menu, Brian was honored to have some of his dishes featured in The New York Times Magazine and Westchester Magazine.

Brian now joins the staff of Indian Road Café as Executive Chef, bringing seasonal and creative comfort food such as Lobster Macaroni & Cheese and Chicken Pot Pie with Jalapeno Cornbread to Northern Manhattan.

We’ll be announcing more of Brian’s new menu additions in the following weeks.

Black History, Alive in Washington

By HOLLAND COTTER

In 1957 Washington officially became the country’s first city where blacks were the majority. But by then, artists, writers and performers of African descent had been flourishing there for a century and a half or more. Seeking out their traces makes for a lively city tour, and one very much of the moment as an African-American first family makes Washington its home.

But before the tour, a shout-out of names you’ll be looking for: Alma Thomas, Frederick Douglass, Duke Ellington, Elizabeth Catlett, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes, Sweet Daddy Grace, Lois Mailou Jones and Marian Anderson, not to mention Marvin Gaye and the godfather of Go-go — the D.C. version of funk — Chuck Brown. All long-term or short-term Washingtonians; all in spirit or person still here read more…
