I’m writing to say that I hope all foodies will be joining me at the Wintermarket at the Fulton Fish Market at the South Street Seaport this Sunday, Dec. 16 (that’s a lot of “at”s, I know).
In case you haven’t heard, the New Amsterdam Public group is producing this one day event in order to prove that a year-round sustainable produce market at the South Street Seaport will garner enough enthusiasm, profit, and attention to warrant not turning that commerically valuable space into luxury hotel/condominiums (like we need more of those monstrosities).
In addition to the produce, there will be fish and meat (an entire cow is being auctioned off), plus cooking demonstrations and tastings.
Read more about it here.
So everyone join me (and Mario Batali!) at the Wintermarket and show them that the NYC public supports the idea of a market focused on sustainable produce and regional farmers!
