Searing temperatures can’t scorch our fun — and to get in the spirit of the season, we teamed up with the Brooklyn Brewery for How To BBQ, an event where we gathered an A-list team to share their smoky, spicy, meaty expertise when it comes to all things related to barbecue.
Just around 450 descended on Bryant Park last Wednesday in celebration of Eat Drink Local week. ‘wichcraft’s executive chef, Mike Barbera, and his team created a spread that was unbelievable!
Last week we kicked off the summer season with a taste of Long Island in the heart of downtown Brooklyn at Brooklyn Uncorked. Wine sippers and food noshers descended on the spectacular Skylight One Hanson (aka the former Williamsburg Savings Bank), where we raised our glass (many times) to celebrate 40 years of Long Island wine making.
Last week aspiring food writers, bloggers, editors and everyone in between came to Brooklyn Brewery and got schooled on how to make a career in food media.
We heart our subscribers and on March 21st, we showed them just how much. In conjunction with Danny Meyer’s Union Square Events, we celebrated our inaugural Subscriber Appreciation Event with passed canapes, passed plated stations, passed desserts, cocktails and, of course, fun.
It was one of our biggest How To’s yet, with a full house of budding entrepreneurs, armed with notepads, questions and a whole lot of ambition, looking to learn How To Sell from our panel of experts.

It was a holiday with friends, without any family drama or long journeys through airports and time zones at last week’s How To Holiday at the Brooklyn Brewery where a team of experts schooled us on the art of holiday hosting.
Yes, it’s November, but February will be here faster than you can say, “Give me a hot toddy,” and that means one thing: Good Spirits, our annual cocktail pairing event, is coming soon.
Sure it’s technically only a few subway stops away, but sometimes Brooklyn just seems so…far. While we’re willing to travel for our favorite eats, the opening of Union Market, the beloved Brooklyn purveyor of all things delicious, on Houston Street makes us and our Metrocards very happy
Martinican codfish fritters, Portuguese bacalhau, Bajan plantains, Ukranian pierogi, Long Island wine, Irish cheeses–nope, it’s not our food bucket list. We actually ate all that–and more–last week at Edible Escape, our global travel tasting party at the gorgeous Angel Orensanz Foundation.
