The Brooklyn Local

Wow I was pretty impressed with The Brooklyn Local event by City Harvest. The event was to raise money for City Harvest (City Harvest works with greenmarkets and restaurants to take their food that usually would go to waste and gives them to the needy).

I was impressed by how organized the event was and it never felt too crowded even with the 75 local food vendors. Looking forward to next year.

New Amsterdam Market Ice Cream Sunday

This past Sunday was the 2nd Annual New Amsterdam Market Ice Cream Sunday. Besides getting to see some friends (La Newyorkina and Steve's Ice Cream), I was finally able to try The Bent Spoon. I have heard so much GREAT things about them and their ice cream did not disappoint (planning a trip to Princeton soon). Actually every tiny scoop of ice cream I had from all the vendors were great.

Pint Mash Up

This past Saturday was Steve's Ice Cream Pint Mash Up at 61 Local, which I stole and turned it into my 8 years in NYC party. It was awesome. So much ice cream and beers and friends!
