Congrats to Connie Castle who referred a friend to our enewsletter and won this gorgeous Breville blender! Stay tuned for our next contest coming soon.
We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the longest day of the year than with a food-filled evening to benefit City Harvest, an amazing local organization that takes excess food from those who have plenty–restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers, and farms–and delivers it to some 600 food programs around the city.
Last week with the help of NY1 we gave you a behind the scenes peek in the back of the N&D deli in Ridgewood, Queens, which doubles as the factory for Mama O’s Kimchee.
We’re thrilled to announce the following restaurants in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Long Island’s East End will be participating in our 2012 Eat Drink Local Week, which begins in less than a month.
We’d like to extend a big thanks to all those who voted in our cartoon caption contest. After many a good chuckle, the vote is in.
At this month’s sixth annual Brooklyn Uncorked, over 700 wine and food enthusiasts flooded the former Williamsburgh Savings Bank–a spectacular building with soaring ceilings that’s better known as Skylight One Hanson–to nibble and sip the various food and wine offerings from over 60 vendors.
With help from NY1, we’ve got a sneak peek video tour of the construction of the Ur-BARN being raised at the Great GoogaMooga, two-day food and music fest produced by Superfly Presents that’s taking over the Neathermead in Prospect Park.
The Gathering of the Fisheries is one of frequent theme markets at the seaport market–grains, meat and ice cream have been other topics–and this is the first this year. More than a dozen regional fish and seafood vendors–some from right here–will be selling their watery wares.
Well, folks, you dazzled us with your creativity this time. When we asked for captions for this dairy-filled cartoon, you did better than we could have imagined. So good, in fact, we need your help choosing the best entry. Can you help us pick the winner?
Eat Drink Local Week 2012 is made possible with help from these businesses, each of which does its part to support local foodsheds.
Each year we pick one locally available ingredient, food group or beverage to highlight for each day of Eat Drink Local Week, and encourage our partnering businesses and home cooks (that’s you) to try them.
