Restaurants are always happy to get into the act on Valentine’s Day. On a day that can be known as “deuce hell” (as in nothing but tables for two), some owners are looking to offer things you can do as a group, or heck, even do alone. Amarelle Restaurant in Wading River is offering private [...]
Once again local organizations are thinking of you and what you’re going to do in the depths of February. Drink wine? Snuggle up in front of a fireplace at a bed-and-breakfast? Listen to music? Find some great deals on restaurant meals? Yes, it’s all happening on the East End–and some points further west–during Winterfest, a [...]
I’ve been thumbing through the short, final chapters of Joan Gussow’s most recent book, Growing, Older. They’re humorous even if the themes include dying, lifelong regrets, sea level rise and climate change. The later geological preoccupations are shared by both Gussow and I—we both garden in floodprone areas—and the balmy, 60-degree afternoons this past weekend reminded [...]
On some recent Gotham staycations, we splurged and took the kids out to dinner, and I almost immediately regretted it.

Slow Food is sponsoring two events on Sunday, February 12: one, a cooking demonstration in Southampton, will benefit the Edible School Garden Cookbook Project. The other is an oyster tasting–no, an Oyster Mania–during an open house at the Art of Eating in Amagansett. The Edible School Garden Cookbook Committee is closing in on a first [...]
Did you buy your ticket to Edible’s Good Spirits event yet? No?!? Act fast before it’s last call on your entry to over 50 vendors and samples from some of the area’s best restaurants and distillers. Tickets are only $45 and include dishes and cocktails from folks like Velseka Bowery, who will be serving Pierogies filled with Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Maple Glazed Bacon and Potato and pairing it with “The Golden Klenovka,” a cocktail made with Vermont Gold Vodka, maple syrup, organic black tea and a splash of club soda. Still hungry? Perhaps your next bite should come from Rubirosa, who will be serving Wild Boar Bruschetta with Blood Orange, Juniper and Rosemary with the “Sanguenilla Special,” a drink made with Hendrick’s Gin, Hibiscus Hop Infused Mead, Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, Gran Classico Bitter, blood orange juice, lemon juice, soda water, Sanbitter and a slice of blood orange.

Potential ecological benefits include habitat for wildlife, pollinators and other beneficial insects; water quality [...]

There’s chef Noah Schwartz, of Noah’s in Greenport, in waders holding a basket of Pipe’s Cove oysters. According to a press person from Vibrant Rioja campaign, a creative director [...]
