As Eat Drink Local Week approaches–our week-long tribute to our foodshed begins Saturday, June 23rd–we wanted to introduce the sponsors that have helped us organize the event and also support local and seasonal eating year-round.
CITY GRIT Culinary Salon, host of supper club-like gatherings in a 70-seat dining room in an old school house in Nolita, has planned an elaborate 5-course meal called “Edible Eat Drink Local Feast” on Thursday, June 28th featuring four of our Eat Drink Local Week featured ingredients, plus rose wine pairings for every course.
Join us at the Fifth Annual Taste of Greenmarket on Wednesday, June 27, 2012 where we’ll feast on fancy fare inspired by the summer’s bounty at our local Greenmarkets and sip seasonal cocktails, all in honor of pioneering women in agriculture.
Summer is nearly upon us and city sidewalks are stained with the juice of ripe, plump berries. With all these fruits at hand, we were happy to see that Chef Mike Colameco–host of the daily radio program “Food Talk” and “Colameco’s Food Show”on Channel 13–has teamed up with King Arthur flour for an upcoming cooking demonstration called Baking Summer Berries, Pies and Tarts.
At Edible, we’re all about encouraging excellent food and drink experiences. That’s why folks read our magazine and subscribe to our free weekly enews. Now we’re offering a Breville immersion blender to one lucky person who refers a friend to our enewsletter. Plus, the more friends you refer, the more chances you have to win!
As we kick off Eat Drink Local Week with our second annual Meet Your Maker, June 20th, take a step behind the scenes with a tour of one of four awesome local Brooklyn businesses: Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn Winery, NY Distilling Co. and Toby’s Estate Coffee–samples included! Then join us back at Brooklyn Brewery for beers, a GIANT SUB from the Brooklyn Kitchen and snacks from Acme Smoked Fish.
The Brooklyn Waterfront Craft & Specialty Beer Festival on June 16 will feature rare and seasonal brews, and spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline.
We are big fans of the New-York Historical Society’s summer exhibition series, which is called Beer Here: Brewing New York’s History. This Saturday they kick off a series of related tastings.
With help from NY1, we took a video tour of Foragers City Grocer in Chelsea. It’s the first Manhattan outpost of the market, which opened in Dumbo six years ago, and it’s one of many locavore businesses in the borough we’re profiling in the weeks leading up to Eat Drink Local Week, which begins June 23.
Stop by the Children’s Museum of Manhattan on June 27th from 11am to 1:30 pm for a fun and food-filled Eat Play Local Day celebration that both kids and parents can sink their teeth into.
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.
