Saturday Spotlight: Mekong District

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Nyack, Mekong District is far from your typical Vietnamese restaurant. This vibrant eatery combines a modernized take on Vietnamese cuisine with unique features like Rockland County’s first self-pour beer taps and weekly live music, making it a standout spot for food and fun.

Owner Tai Nham’s story is one of resilience, passion, and family. Born in Vietnam as the youngest of 11 children, he immigrated to the United States at age 9. His siblings were quick to embrace entrepreneurship, opening their first restaurant when Tai was in college. Tai joined the family business, helping to establish Vietnam Grill in Spring Valley in 1994. Over time, his passion for food led him to attend the prestigious French Culinary Institute, where he graduated in 2007.

Tai’s culinary journey took a bold step forward in 2010 with the launch of Mekong Grill in Ridgewood, NJ, a venture he managed successfully for 10 years. When the opportunity to open Mekong District in Downtown Nyack arose, Tai and his wife, Fay – who helps with restaurant management and occasionally lends her skills in the kitchen – were eager to bring their vision to life. Despite delays caused by the pandemic, Mekong District opened its doors in February 2021, becoming the latest chapter in Tai’s lifelong dedication to innovative Vietnamese cuisine.

Mekong District sets itself apart with a menu that balances authenticity and creativity. Think classic Vietnamese ingredients reimagined in dishes like kimchi fries and drunken ribs, designed to entice even the most hesitant eaters. Guests can also enjoy the restaurant’s ever-changing beer wall, offering a curated selection of draft beers and ciders that never repeats.

Since opening, Mekong District has become a cornerstone of the Nyack dining scene, drawing patrons with its lively atmosphere and community events. From open mic nights to Oktoberfest promotions featuring collectible steins and draft discounts, Tai and his team know how to keep things fresh and engaging.

Looking ahead, Tai dreams of expanding to a second location, continuing to share his passion for innovative Vietnamese cuisine. Until then, Nyack remains home to this must-visit gem that offers delicious food, great beer, and unforgettable experiences.

Saturday Spotlight: Olive's

Nestled in the heart of Nyack, Olive’s isn’t just a bar; it’s a vibrant venue with a rich history that has welcomed artists, musicians, and community members for almost 45 years. Owned by Marianne Olive, Olive’s is the longest-standing bar in town, known for its live music, welcoming atmosphere, and dedication to original music.

Marianne’s journey to Olive’s is as colorful as the venue itself. Growing up as one of eleven children in the unique community of Marycrest in West Nyack, Marianne learned early the values of self-sufficiency and community. Her adventurous spirit took her from art studies in California to racing airplanes across the West and Midwest to a journey across Europe in a $200 van which kickstarted her life as an entrepreneur – she drew portraits, cut hair, and made dolls to fund her travels.

After returning to New York, Marianne got her cosmetology license and established her first business in Nyack, a full-service salon called Hair’s Marianne. She rented an apartment above the salon and asked her landlord if he would give her the option to buy the building, not knowing that it was a corporate sale that included the building next door. The success of her salon and prior savings allowed her to finance the purchase of both buildings, one of which had two available storefronts that she was trying to figure out how to fill at a time when Nyack was suffering from many vacant storefronts.

Hearkening back to her adventures on the west coast, Marianne couldn’t get a particular LA restaurant and music venue out of her mind – The Baked Potato.

“It was such a unique place that had it all,” Marianne says. “Large potatoes stuffed with 20 different delicious toppings and a large stage with lighting and live bands every night. I was so impressed with this venue that I promised myself if I ever opened my own restaurant, I would use this exact theme.”

And so, in 1979, Marianne broke down the walls between the two vacant stores and make one large restaurant, bar, and music venue that she named One Potato Two Potato, the original version of Olive’s.

“I took a chance on Nyack and fully invested my entire life there in those buildings on Main Street,” Marianne reminisces. “Though Nyack was suffering many boarded up stores, I saw an opportunity to add vibrance and life to this very artsy creative oasis on the Hudson. I renovated the apartments above the salon and One Potato Two Potato and it became the go-to place on Main Street.”

Today, Olive’s is more than just a bar; it’s a community hub for people who love and appreciate music, art, and creativity. Patrons can listen to live music 7 nights a week, shoot a game of pool, or capture memories in the photo booth, all while enjoying the rich atmosphere Marianne has cultivated. The musical lineup is an eclectic one – regularly featuring genres like bluegrass, alternative, rock, and even heavy metal. Local favorites like Frankie D and the Boyz, Misfits Karaoke, and various touring bands bring energy and diversity to the stage. Olive’s has become a launchpad for talented musicians, including the band Coheed and Cambria, who found their start here. The venue’s target audience ranges from young adults to seasoned music lovers, making it a melting pot of ages, backgrounds, and tastes.

Looking forward, Marianne hopes Olive’s will continue to be a platform for emerging artists and new sounds. “These bands will be the music of tomorrow,” she says. “We are always open to new innovative sounds. We might get into streaming our music too.”

In addition to nightly live music, Olive’s also offers bookings its adjacent space, perfect for pop-ups and private gatherings. Notably, this November 29th, Olive’s will be hosting its 45th anniversary party. The celebration will include a free dinner buffet, live music, and merchandise giveaways, all with no cover charge. It’s the perfect opportunity for patrons old and new to celebrate this iconic Nyack establishment.

You can visit Olive’s 7 nights a week at 118A Main Street (5pm-2am). Get the latest news about Olive’s upcoming events, like the aforementioned anniversary celebration, on their website (https://www.olivesnyackbar.com/), or by following their social media pages (Instagram: / Facebook: Olive's).

Saturday Spotlight: Advanced Esthetics by SkinProNicole

Nicole Giordano-Velez’s journey to founding Advanced Esthetics by SkinProNicole (Skin Pro Nicole) began years before opening her doors. As a licensed esthetician and former laser technician at Nyack’s Lazur La Vie, Nicole spent over a decade mastering advanced skincare treatments. Her experience with Procell Therapies and Circadia Skincare fueled her passion for helping clients transform their skin. Seeing how professional skincare can improve lives inspired Nicole to build her business around personalized care, client education, and tangible results.

“I wanted my practice to be more than just skincare—it’s a sanctuary for clients to feel empowered in their skin,” Nicole says. “As the first business owner in my family, I want to positively impact my community by helping clients look and feel their best every day.”

Nicole’s practice specializes in a range of treatments, including facials, chemical peels, microneedling, laser hair removal, and microcurrent therapy, addressing acne, rosacea, and aging concerns. She’s the only provider in her area offering FIT Testing and leaky gut testing, helping clients identify dietary triggers affecting their skin. Her approach is personalized, focusing on long-term skin health.

What sets Nicole’s business apart is her dedication to care and education. She builds relationships with clients, guiding them with trust and transparency.

“My client-centered focus reflects my values, influenced by the Rotary 4-Way Test, prioritizing informed decisions and long-lasting results,” Nicole states. “I measure my success by the number of people I help and the quality of relationships I build with my clients.”

Nicole’s clientele ranges from young adults with acne to older individuals with anti-aging concerns. Impressively, 35% of her clients are men. Advanced Esthetics by SkinProNicole draws clients from Nyack and neighboring areas, solidifying its reputation for professional, effective skincare.

So why Nyack? For Nicole, it’s where her career in esthetics began. The community’s support helped her secure her current location and fueled her desire to remain rooted here, where she continues to help clients feel confident.

Looking forward, Nicole’s future plans include expanding her services and collaborating with wellness practitioners to create a holistic environment. Right now, she’s offering special promotions, including 20% off facials for new clients, Hollywood Carbon Peel for $199, and IPL treatments for $149 (regularly $300). She is also passionate about giving back to the community, frequently donating treatments to local schools and organizations. For her, it’s about more than skincare—it’s about building lasting relationships and supporting her village.

You can visit Advanced Esthetics by SkinProNicole at 77 Franklin Street 6 days a week (hours listed below). Follow the shop on their website (https://skinpronicole.glossgenius.com/), Instagram ( / https://www.instagram.com/skinpronicole/), and page (Skin Pro Nicole) for upcoming events and promotions!
