siri, play i miss you by blink182 (31 days til you're back on campus🤞)
This week, we played tourist for a day & met local business owner and NECC alumnus Issa Zefta💫
Issa came to the U.S. in 1983, studied at Bradford College, then found his footing at Northern Essex — a place he credits with some of the best teachers and advisors of his life. From there, his path took him through UMass Lowell and Mount Ida College. But somewhere along the way, life had other plans.
“I never thought I was going to be in the restaurant business,” Issa says.
What started as a small local restaurant that came up for sale turned into decades of building something bigger than a business — a family.
For Issa, running a restaurant was never just about good food and a great location (though he’ll tell you those matter too… a LOT). It’s about being part of the community. His restaurant has stood alongside organizations like the Exchange Club, Kiwanis, the Boys and Girls Club, the Lions, and local veterans — because for Issa, showing up for your neighbors isn’t optional. It’s the job.
He talks about the Merrimack Valley the way you’d talk about someone you love — a place shaped by different cultures and experiences, close to the mountains, close to the beach. A unique place to build a life. And in his 38 years here, Issa has done exactly that, one relationship, one commitment, one dish at a time.
“If it wasn’t for the family, we’d never be here that long.”
💭This is the first story in a new series where we are sitting down with alumni who are building futures within our community — one conversation at a time. Issa’s story is a reminder that community isn’t just something you join. It’s something you show up for, every single day, for almost four decades.
anything is possible when you’ve got the right mindset🎧
we’re about a month out from Fall Semester 2026. What are you going to accomplish this semester?💭
