Join the Local Roots NYC Supper Club.

22 Jan

In a food rut? Awaken your taste buds and try something new with my favorite CSA, Local Roots NYC. The group holds a supper club spotlighting chefs and local ingredients. On Wednesday February 1st, the group will host their third supper club with guest chef Matthew Leif of Landhaus. Held in the beautiful exposed brick mezzanine at 61 Local, this dinner sits 30 and will feature a four course menu with ingredients from the CSA’s  farms and other neighboring farms.

The star of the show will be the apple. Each dish will show the versatility and wide range of flavors of apples, one of the few fruits that are available in the winter season. The meal will include a starter, a first course, a main course, and a dessert. Get your tickets here for an amazing meal with some good company.

DUMBO Goes Wireless

8 Jun

It’s official– Dumbo is the first NYC neighborhood to offer free Wi-Fi internet across the entire area, including along all the streets, parks and public spaces. The wireless addition is due to a partnership between the DUMBO Improvement District, Brooklyn Bridge Park and Two Trees Management Company. This photo comes from the Pearl Street Triangle, a common sitting area in the neighborhood. The best part is now we can all move our offices outdoors this summer!
