South Main Street has
become a destination for
diners and shoppers.
Downtown Looking Up

Newark’s business district is booming, thanks to partnerships
and a successful project on South Main Street.
When Mayor Vance Funk surveys the changes that have taken place in downtown Newark over the past few years, he can’t
believe what he sees. Once in decline, the town center is now a
vibrant mix of diverse dining and specialty shopping—one of the
most desirable destinations in the Mid-Atlantic region.
“It’s kind of scary,” says Funk, who was first elected in April
2004. “I have to pinch myself when I get up in the morning to
make sure this is all real.”
But times have not always been so good for Newark. Starting in the 1950s, Newark, like so many other cities, experienced
growth far beyond its center, so its downtown declined. The situation worsened through the 1970s.
But Newark has made a stunning comeback. During the
past five years, more than $40 million in private investment has
been pumped into new building and renovation projects, and
more than $12 million into public investment projects downtown. There has been a net gain of over 30 businesses during
that time period, creating scores of new full- and part-time jobs.
“Newark is really hot these days,” says Maureen Feeney Roser, director of planning and development for the city. “Part of
that is because of our efforts downtown and the fact that we
won the Great American Main Street Award and we’re suddenly on the map. People are coming to look at us and see how
we’re doing things.”
What they’ve done is achieve success through the cooperative
efforts of a committed group of stakeholders—the University of
Delaware, the city, and the residential and business communities—under the leadership of the Downtown Newark Partnership.

Formed in 1998, the DNP brought together key stakeholders around the common goal of improving Newark’s quality of life. Mayor Vance Funk has been
a champion for partnerships, and for
downtown, since he was elected in 2004.
“I think it’s all about partnerships,”
says Funk, whose can-do attitude and
30 years of experience as UD’s real estate
lawyer helped to improve the relationship between the university and city.
“Together, we can accomplish a lot of
good things,” Funk says.
That relationship has become very
attractive to entrepreneurs. “At the very
center is the university,” says Carl Georigi, owner of Taverna Restaurant which
N4
opened on Main Street in November.
“The reason I decided to locate one of my
restaurants there is that I feel the university provides an infrastructure that is
lasting. They’re not going anywhere.”
The partnership also resulted in
the redevelopment and renaming of a
portion of Elkton Road as South Main
Street, a move that coincided with the
completion of a multi-year, $10.5 million
DelDOT road project.
“It’s just unbelievable all the money
that’s been invested in that area over the
past five years,” says Funk.
Officials believe the name change extends the downtown feel, encouraging
more shoppers and diners to venture into
www.DelawareToday.com June 2013
the area. That, in turn, will result in more
businesses locating there.
“Renaming Elkton Road an extension
of Main Street encompasses many businesses that may not perceptually have
been part of the downtown district, so
this is a significant switch in the positioning for the downtown businesses,”
says Diane Laird, state coordinator of the
Downtown Delaware Economic Office.
That’s how Terry Logue sees it. “Everyone agrees that renaming the road gave
new life to this end of Newark,” says Logue,
manager of The Greene Turtle Sports Bar
& Grille, which opened in Rittenhouse
Station in December. “I think renaming it
just gave it a whole new life.” D

Dining Around the World

Newark’s restaurant scene is as tasty as it is diverse.
Ali Baba, Newark’s premier contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant, offers inspired Mediterranean cuisine. It offers dishes from Lebanon, Israel and Morocco, creating a culinary journey for the palate and senses.
Bashar al Barouqi and his brothers, Ousamah and Hecham, opened the restaurant in October 2001. “We like the
Newark area because it has a lot of educated people,” he says.
“They’ve been around. They know a lot. They’re open-minded.”
The restaurant uses fresh ingredients. It also offers plenty
of vegetarian and vegan selections. The family is intimately
involved in the day-to-day operations. “We do everything ourselves,” says Bashar. “We serve. We are very friendly to the customers. We know many, if not all, of them.”
Ali Baba offers an impressive list of wines from all over the
world, featuring favorites from Morocco, Lebanon, France,
Italy and California. The decor is authentically Moroccan and
exquisitely appointed with exotic earth-toned tapestries. The
www.enjoydowntownnewark.com
restaurant offers customers the option to sit at a sofa or enjoy
regular table seating. There’s even a hookah bar on the front
patio, where patrons can also order food and drinks.
“The hookah bar helps us to draw more attention and people,” says Bashar al Barouqi. (alibabacuisine.com)
Ali Baba is just one of many restaurants giving Newark a
dash of international flavor—and a pinch of American.
Banh Mi Boy’s Franco-Viet hoagies have attracted a cultlike following. In addition to the original, there are roast
pork, meatball, beef and vegetarian varieties. Pair your choice
with a cup of bubble-tea-licious pearl milk tea or traditional
Vietnamese drip coffee—strong, bold and insanely good.

Thanks to owner Ryan German’s culinary curiosity, Caffé
Gelato has been giving Newark a taste of Northern Italian
cuisine and homemade gelato for more than 13 years. “I like

Café Ole has creatively captured
the true spirit of the Spanish tradition
of tapas. Slice some aged quesos, fork

Next time you visit Klondike Kate’s,

Justice and Fingerprints are sure to
keep customers engaged and add to
the mystique of this Victorian building, which once housed the town jail.

When it comes to comfort food, Meltdown knows that grilled cheese is comfiest. But as much as we love the classic
American recipe, trying different cheeses and add-ons can be rewarding. For

From comic books to antiques, Newark’s shopping district has

Tired of wearing the same threads as everyone else? Get
your Moxie on. The cozy place boasts unique ideas, including lines by designers like Ladakh, Kerisma, Olive and Oak,
and Gentle Fawn. Check out its accessories and jewelry, too.
“We’re definitely a contemporary boutique, and we take
pride in being able to offer high quality pieces at great price
points,” says owner Cari Rogers, who opened the shop in 2010.
Rogers has gone to great lengths to keep the inventory
fresh and make the shopping experience pleasant. She travels to New York a few times a year to buy, and she rarely
stocks more than one of any particular item.
“Sometimes customers get upset when they see something
they want and it’s gone the next time they come in,” she says.
“But they understand. You have to stand out from everybody
else. That’s what you want from boutique shopping.”
Rogers offers internships to UD students interested in

The Art of the Matter
The local arts scene, which boasts an orchestra and ballet, is alive and well.
The Newark Arts Alliance is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a new executive director and a campaign to
raise awareness about its mission.
“I’m excited to see how we can improve the communications here, get the information out, and make sure people
know this is a place where they can be creative and a place
where artists can get their work seen,” says Dennis Lawson,
who assumed leadership of the NAA earlier this year.
Lawson, former public relations manager for the Delaware Art Museum, also hopes to use his newly minted literary skills to help the NAA expand into the literary arts. (He
earned a master of fine arts in creative writing at Rutgers
University’s Camden campus.) Though the organization will
keep its focus on visual and performing arts, Lawson hopes
to host poetry and prose readings, with the help of an eclectic group of writers.
“There are a lot of open mikes in the area, but we want
www.enjoydowntownnewark.com
ours to have a literary angle,” says Lawson. He also hopes
to expand the NAA’s summer camps offerings and to better
organize the group’s art classes into beginner, intermediate
and advanced levels.
The organization’s leaders will host a 20th anniversary celebration gala in September. “We’re also going to
use that as a time to have a membership drive to push
the idea of becoming a member to support the organization and help us continue what we’re doing,” says Lawson.
