Edible Manhattan’s Eat Drink Local Week celebrated by Edibles around the Tri-state area, raises awareness about the bounty of products grown in the region, drives customers to the restaurants and other businesses that feature these products, and raises funds for charitable partners dedicated to regional agriculture throughout the state. The fourth Eat Drink Local week kicks off June 23 and involves partners from the entire food chain, who urge you to dine out, cook in, and celebrate the ingredients, landscape and people behind our food and drink through a week’s worth of events, which we’re currently planning.
Artisan Foods and who is really authentic, join NBC Bites for the conversation
May 4, 2012 by Leave a Comment
NBC Bites dives into what is Artisan. Not only are consumers skeptical about the integrity behind something labeled gourmet or artisan; small producers are wary of larger companies claiming artisan status. The very word “artisan” evokes bread baking in wood-fired ovens and the slow rotation of a hand-turned sausage-making machine. Merriam-Webster defines “artisan” as “one that produces something in limited quantities often using traditional methods.”
Many believe the term has been misappropriated so much that it has lost its meaning.
Even comedian Lewis Black got his two cents in on Tuesday night’s “Daily Show,” ripping into Dunkin’ Donuts’ artisanal bagels: “Really? Authentic bagels? Because unless you changed your name to Dunkin Donutsowitz at Ellis Island, then I doubt it.”

New York City Food Trucks go Inside your Companies place of work.
April 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Food Trucks head inside to your place of work. NYC food trucks have been traveling up the freight elevator of the 19-story Starrett-Lehigh Building at 601 West 26th Street in West Chelsea, to offer dining options five days a week to some 6,000 office workers and visitors.
“This is the first indoor vertical food-truck court in the city, and as far as I know, the country,”
said David Weber, president of the New York City Food Truck Association, which was asked by
the building’s owner, RXR Realty, to curate the daily “truck collection” because of a paucity of
lunchtime choices in the neighborhood, west of the High Line between 11th and 12th Avenues.
