Henderson’s newest gem in family dining has arrived! Unassumingly tucked in the back of the Champion Plaza Shopping Center, New York Bistro & Pizza (55 S. Gibson) offers so much more than the name suggests. Of course the standards are all here: authentic NY thin crust pizza with all the right toppings, specialty pizzas and calzones. But these aren’t everyday, average pies. NY Bistro & Pizza uses fresh homemade dough, top quality cheese and fresh cut toppings, then finishes the pizzas with their own brand of “love and magic”. They’ve also got salads, gyros, sandwiches and pastas galore. Sink your teeth into a house specialty like lobster ravioli, homemade lasagna, Michael’s smoked chicken salad or homemade chicken enchilada casserole. Planning a night in? They deliver! Call 834-7330 for more info.
In the summer of 2010, faculty and staff of Henderson International (1165 Sandy Ridge Ave.) private prep school set out to consolidate three campuses into one for the 2010-11 school year. Today, just a year later, the school is experiencing its best re-enrollment rate ever. Why? Because despite this major change, they continue to provide students with the same quality of education that parents have come to expect. Elements like low student to teacher ratios, personalized learning plans, a violin program for students between first and third grade, college prep curriculum and a competitive athletic program are among the many expectations they strive to uphold. Combined, they contribute to the school’s overwhelming success and that of their students.

Do you talk Thai? Naga Thai (76 W. Horizon Ridge Pkwy., #150) does, and in a dialect we can all understand: full-flavored food. Their concept is simple–contemporary Thai cuisine served in an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Like most Thai joints, the real magic is in their thoughtfully prepared dishes, like Lemongrass Chicken, Panang Curry and Pad Thai. Try the peanut sauce, a clear customer favorite and essential accompaniment to Satays, Pra Ram and Rama Noodles. What makes this restaurant different is their emphasis on using fresh, natural ingredients in every cooked-to-order dish. Not into meat? How about a vegan curry? Thirsty? Wash it down with beer or wine from a list designed to complement spicy Thai food. It’s not Thai fast food; it’s healthy Thai food cooked fast for dine-in, take out or delivery. Call 508-2008 for info.
