Zeroday Brewing Co. to open new Midtown taproom next week, with Mexican-inspired menu

March 17, 2021 | by Lawrance Binda

The new Zeroday Brewing Company taproom and restaurant will open next week in Midtown.

Following a yearlong build-out, Zeroday Brewing Co. plans to debut its new taproom and restaurant next week.

The new space on the 900-block of N. 3^rd Street in Harrisburg will officially open on Tuesday, March 23, according to the company.

Zeroday began construction on the new space about a year ago, expecting a six-month build-out. However, the pandemic quickly postponed and then delayed the project.

“Through all of the obstacles that this past year has had to offer, one of the biggest challenges for us has been not seeing our customers face to face,” said co-owner Theo Armstrong. “We are so excited to welcome everyone back and share a beer.”

The new taproom features a long, custom-built bar, an indoor dining area and an expansive outdoor courtyard, with total capacity for 150 people. The inside area includes a 60-person event space that also features a small-batch, three-barrel brewhouse.

Zeroday is partnering with La Catrina under chef Pedro Rincon Mexica to offer a full-service menu focused on contemporary Mexican cuisine. The taproom and restaurant will be open seven days a week.

The opening date nearly coincides with the state’s planned loosening of pandemic restrictions on bars and restaurants on April 5, with bar service allowed to resume and indoor seating expanded to 75% of capacity.

A glimpse inside Zeroday’s new brewhouse event space

It’s been a busy year for Zeroday.

Following the onset of the pandemic, the brewery shuttered its original taproom at the rear of Midtown Cinema, converting it exclusively to production space.

Meanwhile, it built a new “outpost” inside the cinema as part of the cinema’s own extensive renovation. That space features a bar, table service and a courtyard, with a gourmet hot dog menu. It also continues to operate the Zeroday Outpost inside the Broad Street Market.

A fourth Zeroday location is currently under construction at the new Susquehanna Union Green outside of Linglestown, in partnership with the owners of Shakedown BBQ.

Zeroday opens its new Midtown taproom with 25 employees and expects to double that number once its current expansion plans are complete, according to the company.

Zeroday Brewing Co. is located at 925 N. 3^rd St., Harrisburg, as well as at 250 Reily Street and inside the Broad Street Market. For more information, visit their website.

For the HSO, the show goes on—90 years and counting

March 17, 2021 | by Karen Hendricks

The Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra on stage at The Forum in 2019

When the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra (HSO) takes the stage for their 90th birthday concert this Saturday, there will be striking differences compared to their inaugural March 1931 performance.

For starters, this weekend’s concert will take place virtually and be available for live-streaming directly into patrons’ living rooms—something that would have sounded completely foreign in 1931.

But there’s actually a common theme linking the two performances, beyond the music itself.

“We know we’re living under [pandemic] duress, but we need to remember what a bold decision it was for people to come together in Harrisburg and form an orchestra starting from zero dollars and zero funding,” said Matthew Herren, HSO executive director. “It was a big undertaking, and we honor their vision.”

The HSO has overcome many challenges in its 90 years including navigating its current “A Season Like No Other” via online performances. What began as a community orchestra featuring amateur Harrisburg musicians in 1931, morphed into a semi-professional organization, then blossomed into its current status as a fully professional orchestra.

The original Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra in 1931

“When we’re talking about an orchestra in a smallish city, it’s an extraordinary accomplishment to get to 90 years,” said Maestro Stuart Malina, HSO music director and conductor. “And when you get to the level of the HSO, the differential in artistic quality between us and the best orchestras in the world is really very small.”

Malina reflects on his musical childhood, family and fate that directed his steps toward the HSO—after he nearly followed in his father’s footsteps and became a lawyer—including his 20 years in Harrisburg, in the HSO’s March edition of their monthly “Conversations with the Maestro” YouTube series. The video is being released the evening of March 18, as a pre-cursor to this weekend’s celebratory online concert.

“When I first came to Harrisburg, I knew it was the capital—that was about all I knew about Harrisburg,” said Malina. “But the geographical location affords us major market players—that’s why I’ve stayed here so long… and on certain days, the Susquehanna River is the prettiest place in the world.”

He performs two piano pieces in the video—including a duet with his 18-year old son. Pandemic-era “exercises in creativity” such as online performances, and the HSO’s future, are also topics he touches upon.

“I’m feeling rather bullish about the future of the HSO. Others are pessimistic about the future of orchestras and arts organizations,” said Malina, citing the HSO’s strong community support, board, staff, and more than 70 musicians.

The last time the HSO performed for a live audience was March 1, 2020 at the Forum. Since October, the HSO has recorded and streamed six performances with four more in the works, according to Herren.

“We quickly shifted to online performance, and thanks to the generosity of the Whitaker Center we’ve been recording performances there for streaming on demand,” Herren said. “What we’ve proven to ourselves is that we’re more nimble than we thought.”

Pre-pandemic live performances typically attracted an audience between 1,000 and 1,700. Pandemic-era, pre-recorded online performances have been garnering ticket sales from 500 to 800 households. That translates into a steady audience, across a pandemic speed bump, if you calculate at least two people per household.

The 90th birthday concert, available online March 20-28, is a “celebratory program” reminiscent of “outdoor events and parades,” Herren said.

The program blends classical music’s past and present: It opens with James Stephenson’s “Fanfare for Democracy” composed for President Biden’s inauguration, and it pays homage to the orchestra’s 1931 debut concert program by including “Two Slavonic Dances,” by Bohemian composer Antonín Dvořák.

“The orchestra’s level is probably the highest it’s ever been, professionally,” said Concertmaster Peter Sirotin, who has played violin with the HSO for 25 years. “It’s a joy to watch this orchestra grow into a Pennsylvania institution—a premier cultural organization… with a level of culture and morale and camaraderie that’s hard to find.”

Following the remainder of the season’s online programming, the HSO’s traditional, free outdoor summer concerts as well as the 2021-22 season remain a question mark for now.

“We have a schedule and intentions, but we will not publicly promote events until we know we can safely have the musicians on stage,” said Gloria Giambalvo, HSO marketing director.

She encourages the public to continue checking the HSO’s website and social media for announcements.

“We’re all dying to think about and talk about the summer, but we’re resisting,” said Giambalvo. “We don’t want to offer hope for something that may not happen as we initially intended. We’ve been open and honest with our patrons, and they respect that.”

The HSO’s YouTube Conversation with the Maestro, hosted by our very own Karen Hendricks of TheBurg Podcast, is linked here. HSO staff, as well as Hendricks, will be interacting and answering viewers’ questions live on YouTube, Thursday, March 18, 6-7:30 p.m.

Harrisburg plans “trust” to handle financial obligations for retirees, gets closer to exiting Act 47

March 17, 2021 | by Maddie Conley Gittens

Harrisburg City Government Center

Harrisburg is weighing creating a trust to help pay for retiree benefits, one of the last steps on its long road to exiting Act 47.

On Tuesday, Harrisburg City Council members discussed a final piece of the city’s years-long recovery plan, the creation of a special trust to oversee certain post-employment benefits for retired city union workers.

“This has been a long time in the making,” city Solicitor Neil Grover said during the virtual work session. “It’s a concept that is promoted as a good financial tool for municipalities to recognize longtime obligations that they have to retirees and their families.”

Setting up a trust was approved by the Commonwealth Court in 2013 as part of the “Harrisburg Strong” financial recovery plan.

If approved by Harrisburg City Council, the OPEB Trust Fund would handle funds to supplement healthcare benefits that Harrisburg already provides retirees, acting independently of the city government. The trust would start with about $3.3 million from the city, which Grover said is far under the amount that would be needed to fund the other post-employment benefits long-term. The trust will be tasked with determining a way to build up additional funds, he said.

Grover said that the trust would be empowered to decide what type of healthcare items to cover, such as offsetting co-pays or paying for prescriptions or catastrophic events.

Harrisburg could contribute money to the OPEB Trust Fund, but due to the autonomy of the board, the city could not take funds from it.

Overall, the creation of the board would allow for a “backstop,” as Grover explained when reached by phone on Wednesday, thus supplementing the city’s already substantial retiree obligations.

The board would be made up of nine members, one from each of the city’s three unions, two appointed by City Council, two by the mayor and two by the state-appointed recovery coordinator for the city.

Council likely will vote on the ordinance at its next legislative session on Tuesday. From there, council would need to pass a resolution to enter into a trust agreement so that the OPEB Trust board could form.

The creation of the trust will be added into the city’s application to finally exit Act 47 after 11 years in the state’s program for financially distressed municipalities. According to Harrisburg officials, this is one of the final steps that the city has to undertake before leaving the program.

Also on the council docket for next week is a resolution to support the formation of a new joint transportation authority combining Harrisburg-based Capital Area Transit (CAT) and York-based rabbittransit. The merger would seek to regionalize transportation by creating the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority, offering a single fare payment system for users and improved connections for riders, Richard Farr, executive director of rabbitttransit, explained.

City Council will likely vote on this on Tuesday, as well.

Farr said that Adams and Dauphin counties have passed their resolutions to support the regional authority. York and Cumberland counties will vote in the coming weeks.

“Things continue to go very positively moving forward and things seem to be on track,” he said.

Isabelle’s Southern Cuisine set to open, serving up family-inspired comfort food

March 16, 2021 | by Maddie Conley Gittens

Isabelle’s Southern Cuisine at 306 Reily St., Harrisburg

As a little girl, Kim Ross remembers spending days with her grandmother, Isabelle Ross, cooking in her kitchen in the William Howard Day Homes in Harrisburg.

Ross’s grandma was losing her eyesight and wanted to pass on her family recipes. It was a great bonding time for the pair, Ross said.

Now, she plans to share those meals with the Harrisburg community at a new southern food restaurant coming to Reily Street in Midtown, the former location of the Red Boat Asian Fusion restaurant.

“I’m excited,” Ross said. “[My grandmother] would’ve been proud.”

Isabelle’s Southern Cuisine plans to open this Sunday for brunch, which will be a regular weekend event. Ross said that they have already sold out the first brunch.

Throughout the week, Isabelle’s will serve breakfast, lunch and, on some days, dinner. Ross said that the menu will include soul food staples like chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, mac and cheese and candied sweet potatoes. They also plan to serve Fifth Acres Coffee, a Harrisburg company owned by Stefan Hawkins of Good Brotha’s Book Café, also in Midtown.

“Isabelle’s will be a great addition to an already growing restaurant community,” Hawkins said. “I know the owners, and I know the love and care they’ll put into bringing quality food to this community.”

Ross hopes that the restaurant will have a familial feel, especially since it will be a family-run operation. Ross will handle the sides, her brothers and son will tackle the main dishes and her cousin, a baker, will take on desserts.

Her son added his touch to the décor of the restaurant to create a modern, urban feel with trendy faux grass walls and neon signs, Ross said.

“I’m excited to see our family work together,” she said. “This is something new for us, but it’s pulling us closer together.”

She’s had many family members to look up to who owned local businesses, but Ross hadn’t considered owning one herself until her son encouraged her to open. He saw the potential she had. She said that she always had friends coming over to eat her food, and the family made Sunday dinners together a priority.

This winter wasn’t easy for Ross’s family as both an uncle and her mother passed away, but she sees the restaurant as a way to move forward with a new chapter. Even the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t stopping her.

“This is a new beginning for our family,” she said.

Isabelle’s Southern Cuisine is located at 306 Reily St., Harrisburg. It will be open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Wednesday, 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Thursday, 6 a.m. 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit their website or Facebook page.

Harrisburg eviction moratorium extended through mid-April

March 15, 2021 | by Maddie Conley Gittens

Sign on N. 3rd and Kelker streets.

Harrisburg residents behind on rent are safe for another month.

Mayor Eric Papenfuse extended the city’s ban on evictions for tenants affected by the pandemic for another 30 days, through mid-April.

“This extension of the eviction moratorium will continue to help protect our residents during these challenging times,” Papenfuse said in a statement.

The city initially enacted the moratorium on Dec. 16, responding to what they feared could become a homelessness crisis. This is the third extension of the declaration, so far.

The ban protects those who are unable to pay rent and those whose lease has expired. Anyone facing eviction for other reasons, such as property damage or criminal activity, is not included under the moratorium and can still be evicted.

The city has the power to fine non-compliant landlords up to $10,000 or 90 days in jail.

Additionally, a nationwide halt on evictions by the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is in place through March 31.

The moratoriums do not, however, take away landlords’ rights to receive payment and renters may still be expected to pay once the eviction bans end.

Recently, Dauphin County officials announced their plan to address this proactively. They said that the county would receive up to $18 million in state and federal CARES Rent Relief Program funds that they would distribute to tenants in need. Under this program, renters can receive up to 12 months of rental and utility assistance.

Additionally, the city is in the process of issuing $500,000 in federal Emergency Shelter Grant COVID (ESG/CV) funds to Harrisburg residents behind on rent.

Papenfuse said previously that the city will continue to extend the eviction moratorium while the state’s public health emergency continues.

For questions or concerns related to Harrisburg’s eviction moratorium, email [email protected] or call the city’s hotline, 3-1-1.

Fire in downtown Harrisburg’s Crowne Plaza causes minimal damage, no injuries

March 15, 2021 | by Maddie Conley Gittens

Firefighters outside the Crowne Plaza on S. 2nd Street.

A hotel fire sent plumes of white smoke above downtown Harrisburg at midday on Monday, blocking off streets for several hours as firefighters fought the blaze.

According to Harrisburg Fire Chief Brian Enterline, the bureau was dispatched at 11:25 a.m. and arrived to find smoke on the first floor of the Crowne Plaza on S. 2nd Street. Shortly after, smoke could be seen rising from an upper floor of the hotel.

He said that the fire started in the hotel’s blind shaft, a brick duct that runs from the basement to the top floor and contains utility pipes. According to the chief, the shaft contained years of dirt and debris that caused the fire to spread. The blaze started in a lower section of the shaft and spread the length of it.

The exact cause of the fire is still being investigated, Enterline said, but added that blind shaft fires are not uncommon.

There were no injuries, and there was no fire damage to any of the hotel rooms, only water damage to a few.

Enterline said that the risk to the rest of the building was low, as the Crowne Plaza has a sprinkler system. However, the entire response took around 2 1/2 hours and was “very labor-intensive,” he said.

Multiple fire departments arrived at the scene including firefighters from Harrisburg, Paxtonia, Swatara Township, Penbrook and Lower Allen Township, among others.

Wolf announces loosening of pandemic restrictions for restaurants, bars, other businesses

March 15, 2021 | by Lawrance Binda

PA soon will loosen its dining restrictions, just as Zeroday Brewing Co. opens its new restaurant and tap room in Midtown Harrisburg.

Gov. Tom Wolf today announced a significant loosening of restrictions for restaurants and other businesses, citing falling rates of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania.

Starting April 4, restaurants may resume bar service, and alcohol service will be allowed without the purchase of food, benefiting bars.

“Pennsylvanians have stepped up and done their part of help curb the spread of COVID-19,” Wolf said, in a statement. “Our case counts continue to go down, hospitalizations are declining, and the percent positivity rate gets lower every week—all very positive signs. The number of people getting vaccinated increases daily and we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel. It’s time to allow our restaurants, bars and other service businesses to get back to more normal operations.”

For the past year, restaurants, especially those that serve alcoholic beverages, have had to operate under a series of changing rules, including, at one time, a total ban on indoor dining. Today’s announcement represents the loosest restrictions on restaurants and bars since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

In addition, the curfew for removing alcoholic drinks from tables will be lifted, and the indoor dining capacity will be raised to 75% for restaurants that have agreed to the state’s certification requirements.

Restaurants and bars must still adhere to other COVID-mandated guidelines, such as mask-wearing and social distancing, including keeping unassociated diners at least six feet apart.

Besides restaurants, other restricted businesses will have their capacity increased to 75% on April 4, including entertainment venues, gyms and personal services facilities.

Wolf also announced an increase in event capacities, which will be 25% for indoor events and 75% for outdoor events.

“We’ve come so far and now is not the time to stop the safety measures we have in place to protect ourselves, our families and our communities,” Gov. Wolf said. “Keep wearing a mask, social distancing, and, please, get vaccinated when it’s your turn.”

Downtown News: Whitaker Center partially reopens; Strawberry Square to be new COVID test site

March 12, 2021 | by Lawrance Binda

Whitaker Center has announced a partial re-opening.

Downtown Harrisburg was the scene of two notable announcements on Friday: a partial reopening of Whitaker Center and, across the street, a new COVID-19 test site inside Strawberry Square.

First, Whitaker Center held a ribbon-cutting to mark “phase one” of its reopening.

During this phase, the Harsco Science Center & Select Medical Digital Cinema are open Fridays and Saturdays only, by reservation, in two sessions: A morning session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and an afternoon session runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Whitaker Center officials stated that they will use the 30-minute block of time between sessions for cleaning. Because of capacity limitations, visitors must purchase tickets in advance ($10 per person, children under 2 are free). Members receive free admission to the Harsco Science Center, but must reserve tickets in advance.

While at Whitaker Center, visitors can view several new exhibits, including a life-sized version of the game, Operation (pictured), the “X-Ray Table” and the center’s newest and largest single exhibit, “Pinball Falls.”

“We have reinvented ourselves over the past year as we’ve provided virtual programs and socially distant onsite group learning to the community, but now we are excited to reopen our doors,” said Meghan Clark, COO/CFO of Whitaker Center. “It’s so great to see young families back learning, exploring, and having a good time! I am excited for what the future holds for Whitaker and the impact we will have on the youth that come to visit us.”

Also downtown, Harristown Enterprises on Friday announced that Strawberry Square will serve as a walk-in COVID-19 testing site from March 16 through April 10. The site will be open Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in a vacant retail space on the first floor, inside the Walnut Street entrance.

Testing will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis for ages 3 and older, at no charge and with no appointment required. As many as 450 people can be tested daily at the site to anyone who wishes to be tested.

This is an initiative between Strawberry Square, the city of Harrisburg, Park Harrisburg, the PA Department of Health and AMI Expeditionary Healthcare, which is administering the tests.

“We’re happy to provide space for this vital healthcare initiative,” said Brad Jones, president and CEO of Harristown, the owner of Strawberry Square, in a statement. “The public deserves to have the opportunity to receive testing without obstacles, and we’d like to recognize Dauphin County Emergency Management for initiating the conversation to make this happen.”

Results will be available in two to seven days. Those testing positive will receive a phone call from AMI, while those testing negative will receive a secure email, according to Harristown.

“It is important that COVID-19 testing is accessible to everyone, and I am encouraged that residents will be able to utilize this site to get tested,” said Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse.

Whitaker Center is located at 222 Market St., Harrisburg.

Strawberry Square is located at 320 Market St., Harrisburg. The COVID-19 test site will be located near the Walnut Street entrance.
