We know we just urged you to vote for The Lower East Side Tenement Museum’s project to repair its crumbling walls, but The New York Botanical Garden also needs funding to restore the waterfall in its Rock Garden, a 2.5 acre landscape built under the Works Progress Administration between 1932 and 1936. Fear not. You can vote for this great project, AND still support the one we asked you to vote for earlier.

This week’s winner got to take home this awesome Breville food processor. Stay tuned for our refer-a-friend drawing when we’ll be giving away more of these sweet prizes: a Breville immersion blender or blender, a Bodum Frykat grill, Rick’s Pick’s tasty pickles, a bottle of Brooklyn Brewery’s latest Brewmaster Reserve, tickets to our events, or a free Foodie Special subscription to Edible Brooklyn, Edible Manhattan and Edible East End.
There’s kind of running joke among certain city chowhounds about how the mandate to eat humanely raised meats and locally sourced produce is lifted for street food, immigrant-run holes in the wall and food trucks. On May 6 you can earn both locavore and food explorer points at the very same time.
If you like to get your hands dirty while you get your grub on, roll up your sleeves and join us for a night of beer drinking and crawfish peeling at the Brooklyn Brewery.
