Eat Drink Local Week
Our annual 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, restaurant meals and cooking and drinking at home. What can you do to join in?
MAKE A RESTAURANT RESERVATION:
Be sure to make a reservation between June 23 and 30 to have an Eat Drink Local meal at our partner restaurants in Manhattan, Brooklyn and on the East End. You can search our whole Eat Drink Local guide–which also includes locally minded shops and other retailers–by neighborhood right here.
CELEBRATE THE INGREDIENTS OF THE WEEK:
Each year we pick one locally available ingredient, food group or beverage to highlight for each day of Eat Drink Local Week, and encourage our partnering businesses and home cooks to try them. This year those ingredients are: Spinach, Eggs, Goat (milk, cheese, yogurt, meat, etc.), Radishes, Porgy, Fava Beans, and Hudson Valley hops.

1. Our kickoff party on June 23rd, still being planned.
