A Gilded Sanctuary Awaits at the Mohonk Mountain House

1 week ago | ediblebrooklyn.com | Kathleen Willcox

Consider this your invitation to a Victorian castle set within 40,000 acres of protected forest. A National Historic Landmark Resort, Mohonk Mountain House is equally prized for its charming ambiance as the opportunities for physical adventure it presents—enthralling guests since it was founded by the Smiley family in 1869. For 156 years, Mohonk Mountain House has provided guests with the opportunity to connect with nature and each other in an idyllic setting.
Cultural and Agricultural Heritage Are on the Menu at The DeBruce

Sullivan County is 970 square miles of rolling hills, northern hardwood forests, lakes, and rivers. It is bound by the Catskill Mountains to the north, the Shawangunk Mountains to the southeast, and the Delaware River to the southwest. For centuries, the economy and life of the region have relied on the tourists who flock to the ski resorts in the winter and the copious other outdoor recreational opportunities in the summer.
Siena Farms is Expanding New York’s Access to Farm Fresh Produce

Let’s face it: the American food system is in a precarious place right now. Between egg shortages, skyrocketing prices, and never-ending product recalls, shopping for healthy, affordable, delicious food feels as challenging as ever. In the face of so much unpredictability and insecurity on the national scale, there has never been a better time to invest in your local food system.
Drink Your Dinner

Pick any establishment from the World’s 50 Best Bars list and you’re guaranteed to find at least one dinner-inspired drink. Whether it be the uniquely cheesy Cold Pizza cocktail from Double Chicken Please or Superbueno’s huitlacoche-infused Mushroom Margarita, savory cocktails are having a major moment. Despite the ubiquity of this delicious trend, many adventurous drinkers find the exclusivity and cost of these high-end bars to be a serious barrier to branching out.
Horse of a Different Color

Ten years ago, when Williamsburg was well on its gentrification journey but was still without an Apple Store, the Four Horsemen opened on Grand Street and changed what wine could be. Originally a locus for the natural wines championed by their beverage director, Justin Chearno, as those vinos vini-ed and vici-ed their way to every list, liquor store, and fridge in the country, the eclectic, locally sourced menu under Chef Nick Curtola increasingly made the Four Horsemen a food destination.
Water Is Life

Without water there is no life, which perhaps helps to explain why New York is among the most vibrant places on earth: We have abundant waterways of all typed imaginable, from ocean to Great Lakes to our reservoirs. A view of the New Croton Reservoir, part of three systems that cover nearly 2,000 square miles, and hold a combined storage capacity of 550 billion gallons.
The Problem of the Cocktail Garnish

2 months ago | ediblebrooklyn.com | Eliza Dumais

On a scale from one to wild, the contemporary cocktail garnish is hard to place. At present, your drink—regardless of what, exactly, you’ve ordered—seems just as likely to arrive topped with a tidy curl of orange peel as, say, a proper octopus tentacle, or perhaps an entire quail. Therein lies the problem of the garnish: Nontraditional innovation is certainly a positive, but when does innovation cross the absurdity threshold? How much caviar do we really need on any given table?
Pop Stars

Kenneth Eweka Jr. woke up on June 6, he had only been asleep for four hours. The night before, he was scanning driver’s licenses until 6am at the Pencil Factory, the bar where he worked as a bouncer. After his shift, he went home to nap before heading right back to work—this time with a cooler full of steaks. He seasoned them with suya, a peanut-based spice blend, and seared them over an electric grill until he sold out.
C. Cassis Blackcurrant

2 months ago | ediblebrooklyn.com | Clark Moore

Please pardon the kir pun; I want to discuss the idea of “curiosity,” which is at the heart of C. Cassis. Simply beholding the bottle itself, there are numerous curiosities and striking features: the Santorini-esque blue-and-white label; the Matisse-inspired graphic “C”; the white-wax-coated cap; and finally, the contrast of these elements to the jewel-purple-toned elixir inside. But perhaps the most curious aspect is the descriptor of the cassis itself: aperitif.
Home Grown

If New York is a body, the Hudson Valley is its heart—literally and symbolically. Not only do the region’s farms produce the oxygen and nutrients we need to function, they are also synonymous with the love, pride, and sense of hope that the Empire State offers to so many people around the world. With 30,650 farms now in New York State, having seen a 14% decrease between 2012 and 2022, farmers increasingly are relying on other forms of income to make ends meet.
