What was once a farmer’s market is now Judy’s on Cherry, a beautifully renovated, Mediterranean-inspired fine dining restaurant in the heart of downtown Reading. At Judy’s you’ll bask in the warm glow of vaulted wooden ceilings, gorgeous appointments and relaxed, comfortable service. Judy’s hearth fired oven turns out everything from freshly baked focaccia bread to crispy, gourmet pizzas, pastas a

nd tapas –like small plates. Signature summer appetizers include a Mixed Seafood Seviche in Crispy Fried Avocado, Chilled Gazpacho Soup and Baked Shrimnp ala Grecco. Seasonal new entrees items like Rosematy Garlic Lamb Sirloin with Fava Beans and Fennel, Salmon with Baby Spring Vegetables and Orange Buurre Blanc and Three Cheese Ravioli with Lobster and Tomato Vodka Rosa Sauce are jsut some of the highlights of our newly refreshed menu. For an impressive way to end the evening, Judy’s specializes in luscious homemade desserts and frothy cappuccinos. The key lime pie and the seasonal sour cherry and deep dish Jersey blueberry pies are sure to delight the senses. Reading native, Judy Henry, is the chef-owner and presides over daily operations like a proud mother hen. Henry has been the toast of the area restaurant scene since the summer of 2002 when she opened the southern European themed, Judy’s on Cherry. Before opening her own restaurants, Henry had made a name for herself with innovative cooking at The Peanut Bar and Restaurant, another local area landmark. We offer a one of a kind urban fine dining experience that the ‘burbs simply don’t have.”

Judy’s is conveniently located just two blocks from the Sovereign Center, 4 blocks from the Goggle Works and three blocks from The Sovereign Performing Arts Center in downtown Reading.

SOY CANDLE MAKING EXPERIENCE INSIDE THE SPECKLED HEN AT JUDY’S ON CHERRY

Judy’s On Cherry

Friday, July 24th 6:00-8:00 PM
Location: 30 South 4th St. Reading, PA 19602

Join Corina from ShePaintsCo Friday, July 24th, for our first hands-on soy candle making workshop inside the newly reopened Speckled Hen!!! Enjoy a private, unique experience crafting and connecting inside the oldest building in the city!!! Focaccia will be served to snack on and we encourage you to grab a bite while you’re here. We will have a server on the table to keep the drinks flowing. Judy’s opens at 5. We start at 6. Feel free to stay after and head upstairs and check out the space/bar area for a night cap after.

You will learn the process of making your own small batch soy candles in a fun, supportive environment. Make one amber jar candle and 4 tealights using 9 oz of locally sourced soy wax. Your 1 wick amber jar soy candle will burn for a total of 44 hours. Tealights burn up to 6 hours.

This workshop is for anyone 21 and up. This event includes all tools needed for your candle making experience. A wax melter is provided to pre-melt the soy wax, which is then poured into your own pour pitcher to blend with choice fragrance oils. Individual tea lights hold .6 oz of wax and burn up to 5 hours each. Trade tealights you create with others in the group to leave with a variety of scents infused with each others creative expression.

Personalize your signature scent from an assortment of over 20 seasonally rotated, high quality, phthalate free oils. Every oil used is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without phthalates and ingredients found on California’s Proposition 65 list. The oils used in ShePaintsCo candles have no known or suspected carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins, or acute toxins.

Decorate your soy candle and tealights from an array of biodegradable glitters, crystal chips, and handmade soy wax embeds. Decorate your 4 tealights while your main candle cools. Festive sticker decals will be available for you to decorate your jar with too!
