The first snow’s come and gone, and darkness comes early these days. The holiday market’s set up its candy-cane-striped stands in Union Square, and the Greenmarket there, pushed north to make way for holly and cider, is filled with white, glinting icily in the briskness of December: turnips and cheeses, cauliflower and fennel and cream, scallops and rice, sunchokes, potatoes, pale white asparagus. Time for … Continue reading white.

This week was Serious Eat’s annual cookie swap, a fabulous tradition of serious sharing of sugar and spice. It felt only fitting to bring a sweet that reflected Clara’s presence on the site, and so, in honor of Market Tours, we brought two cookies inspired by December’s posts: German and Spanish.

You make it from scratch of course. And … Continue reading funfetti.
Today’s the day. Have you voted? If you live in NYC you have until 9PM. And you can find your polling spot here. GO! We snuck a taste of our Obama Brew last week, to make sure it wasn’t going to poison any of our guests tonight and…it’s amazing. It’s amazing because it worked, and doesn’t have that ever-so-slightly-musky homebrew after taste. And it’s amazing because … Continue reading election night.
Hurricane Sandy’s shut down most of New York, but we still have internet! Another reason we can never move from 223 Devoe. No flooding, power’s still on, and for better or for worse, there aren’t enough trees to see real destruction! For you New Yorkers who weren’t so lucky, we wish you a speedy recovery. And when it’s over, trek over to Holyland Market for … Continue reading holyland market.
