One Lucky Reader Won Two Free Tickets to the Vendys this Saturday for Schooling us on a Chinatown Street Cart

On Saturday 22 food carts will take over Governor’s Island for the annual Vendy Awards, and one lucky Edible Manhattan reader will be among those enjoying a mobile (at least most days) feast.

Tonight, Taste the Best Beers in the Northeast Served by Those Who Brewed Them

One of the key events of NYC Craft Beer Week — a citywide fest featuring tastings, dinners, crawls and other craft beer celebrations–is Thursday night’s Brewer’s Choice at City Winery.

On Sept. 27, Sothebys Puts Heirloom Kale, Squash and Cabbage up for Auction at The Art of Farming

By all accounts, the first-ever live auction of Tri-state heirloom vegetables (and a few proteins) at the house of Sothebys last year was a smashing success. Farmers mingled with the city’s fabulous; local crops were put on the block; and the proceeds went to help support agriculture and education programs with GrowNYC and The Sylvia Center.

As Pig Island Prepares for Saturday’s Fest, a Public School Garden Scores a Whole Porker

Thanks to Pig Island, a heritage breed hog is headed to the AutoGarden, the urban gardening and food program run by Jenny Kessler at Automotive High School, a public school in Brooklyn. (And tickets are still available, as the 20 participating chefs gather to get their locally and sustainably raised pigs in Union Square from upstate farmers.)
