with the Fat Lady

udith Maidenbaum openedher restaurant in 2004, shewas looking for a name noone could forget.

Nearly a decade later, the FatLady Café is not only unforget-table but a key part of down-town Kauneonga Lake, NY’srenaissance.

So is Judith herself – opinion-ated, passionate, a self-de-scribed workaholic.

You’re likely to run into herduring any visit to the Café, buttruly, she’s as warm and hos-pitable as the rest of her staff.She just likes to talk politics(often her own).

“I love this business,” she re-lates. “I like people. I like man-aging. I love making thingswork.”

With room for 75 guests at atime, the Fat Lady Café is theformer psychoanalyst’s full-timefocus these days.

It shows, in everything fromthe carefully selected local arton the walls and tables to themodern yet inviting decor to thejust-redone outside deck, offer-ing gorgeous views of the lakeitself.

F rom the serene to the swift, ripples torapids, we’d dare say Sullivan County’sCatskills offer the widest array of

kayaking, canoeing and boating opportunitiesthis close to New York City.

Turns out that our newest prime spot isowned by New York City, too.

Five miles long and 175 feet deep, the Nev-ersink Reservoir holds 35 billion gallons of thecity’s drinking water when full, held back bythe half-mile-long, 200-foot-high NeversinkDam.

Most visitors view this spectacular manmadelake from the dam, over which crosses NYSRoute 55, connecting Neversink with Liberty.

And while that’s worth a stop (especially thememorial to the towns which were flooded inthe ‘40s and ‘50s to make way for the city’sneeds), nothing equals actually taking to thereservoir’s waters.

Up until 2012, however, that pleasure waslimited to fishermen. Now, thanks to the NYCDept. of Environmental Protection (DEP),

By Dan Hust


Neversink is one of four upstate cityreservoirs open to recreational boaters –you know, the ones with kayaks, canoesand sailboats (or a rowboat, if you prefer,so long as it doesn’t have an engine).

Two recently renovated launch sites pro-vide easy access to the Neversink’ssparkling waters, allowing you to moseyalong the forested shoreline or power-pad-dle all the way to where the NeversinkRiver empties into the reservoir.

The dam area – including the spillway,for obvious reasons – is off-limits, however,and regular vehicle and plane patrols keepit that way. (No swimming either, no matterhow tempting!)

So this is a trip for the more leisurely- orathletic-minded, rather than the sightseer.Though it should be added that wildlife andfall colors make for some great sightseeing!

As DEP spokesman Adam Bosch pointsout, “It just gives you a different perspective.”

Despite plenty of boats kept shoreside(allowing them to be used withoutsteam-cleaning), the Neversink Reservoiris so vast – 1,469 acres in all – that it’seasy to serenely paddle along withoutever running in to another soul. But ifyou’re the more social type, it’s just aseasy to pull up alongside a fellow boaterfor a memorable, enjoyable conversation.

Recreational boating on theNeversink Reservoir is allowedfrom Memorial Day to ColumbusDay. Lifejackets must accompanyevery person on the water,though only children 12 andunder must wear them.

If you rent a boat (see listahead), you only need to gain aWater Supply Lands Access Per-mit, available immediately onlinefrom the DEP or in two weeks viaregular mail. The permit is freethrough the DEP but costs $5 if

you garner one at one of thebelow-listed vendors.

If you bring your own boat,you’ll also need a DEP Recre-ational Boat Tag – which will onlybe provided after you’ve gottenyour craft steam-cleaned, a $15process which removes poten-tially harmful organisms from theboat, so that the reservoir’s wa-ters remain clean.

There are three DEP-certifiedshops serving the Neversink:

• Cannie D’s, NYS Route 55,

Neversink, 845-985-2076 (rentalsand steam-cleaning)

• Bradley Boat Rentals, 220Lindholm Road, Bradley, 845-807-1145 (rentals only, though they’rethe closest to the reservoir)

• Eureka Market &a Café, NYSRoute 55, Grahamsville, 845-985-5152 (steam-cleaning only, checkavailability ahead of time)

where art meets style


ight seems to dance within PedroBoregaard’s hands.

It’s not just the gold, silver, platinumand precious jewels he’s showing a visitor tohis shop in Narrowsburg, NY.

It’s his fingers themselves, gently cradlingand caressing the works they brought to life.

“All my jewelry has movement,” he ex-plains inside Boregaard Jewelry’s vault, itsfoot-thick walls erected a century ago whena bank occupied this part of Main Street.

Golden, diamond-studded moths seemrather to have landed than been pinned tohis shirt.

A silver tree with multicolored gems ap-pears to have grown naturally, not beensculpted.

Even dramatically spiked bracelets andnecklaces have an organic feel, invitingtouch rather than caution.

“You want to feel it,” Pedro explains. “Itbecomes part of you, and that’s how I think.It’s meant to be worn, and the more youwear it, the better it looks.”

Found in Bergdorf-Goodman, Barney’s andBendel, his one-of-a-kind creations drawupon decades of experience in the top jew-elry design firms of Europe and North Amer-

ica – including Tiffany and Co.“I was working for the three top design-

ers,” he recalls referring to star designersPaloma Picasso, Elsa Peretti and AngelaCummings.

Born in Austria, raised in Germany, and anAmerican transplant from London, Pedro hasan international understanding of style, yethe also recognizes how every piece he cre-ates must be paired to the right individual.

“This is very personalized,” he affirms, rel-ishing those moments when customers gazeinto his store’s mirror with profound awe.

His work has been called a “thoughtful col-lection,” and as a result, rarely does anypiece sell for less than $500, with some ex-ceeding $50,000.

“I match the metal to the stones,” he ex-plains. “And I have a very keen color sense.”

Every nuance of every piece has beenthought through carefully, with a design bornmore of a sculptor’s hands than a jeweler’s.

“That’s the art,” Pedro says, smiling. “Thereis nothing accidental.”

... can be found at 101 Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY, and online at www.boregaard.com. Store hours for the summer are Saturdays from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.Designer and owner Pedro Boregaard can be reached at 845-252-3833, 845-252-3827 or pboregaard.com
