Edible Manhattan

Edible Manhattan explores the culinary landscape of the city, highlighting its unique food culture. It is part of the Edible New York family, which includes various Edible publications and platforms throughout North America. We seek to uncover hidden food stories, from a bialy shop in Chelsea to a mangu vendor in Washington Heights. Our focus extends to artisans, cooks, and chefs who craft their own aquavit or cured meats, as well as local factories and shops known for their culinary specialties, regardless of their size. We also shine a light on impactful trends that are reshaping the city’s approach to food, along with community gardens and rooftop farms that nourish New York City.

She’d taken the redeye from LA and didn’t have time to collect the ingredients. Instead, I get two bars of Spring & Mulberry brand Date Sweetened Chocolate and a smile. “Sorry.”For Example.
