What are you eating this Saturday? Going out for brunch? Getting a bacon- egg- and- cheese? Checking out a new trendy restaurant? Think again! Everybody’s going to the “Greenpoint Market” which specializes in bringing LOCAL foods straight to the people of Brooklyn! It’s been running for a while now, but I still haven’t made it over. Check out the items and vendors I’m most excited about!:
These gnocchi's are made from scratch at home and ready to boil!
These gluten free cookies are by "You Can't Eat Bread?!" (What a great name for a gluten- free line of foods!)
This egg is boiled by "Bing Means Pancakes." It's so beautiful!
Just looking at this cake by "Py-O-My" makes me hungry!
You can find out SO MUCH about what’s going on this weekend (and all weekends, as they’re very good at updating it) at the “Greenpoint Food Market” on their blog!
Also, check out some of the great vendor’s sites and blogs below:

It’s fun, it’s free and it’s… upstate?! For all of you who live in Westchester (or even in Fairfield) County who can’t make it to the events we post about going on in BROOKLYN and NYC you should def check out “First Wednesdays” at the Nueberger Museum of Art, located on the SUNY Purchase campus! This Wednesday is the starting event for the monthly event the museum holds for students by students. There’s free fish and chips (my guess would be to corilate their current exhibit on English culture) and lots of fun! Activities include sharing music and a screening of “48- Up,” a film by Michael Apted. The Nueberger also has an AMAZING exhibit currently called “BRITISH SUBJECTS: IDENTITY AND SELF- FASHIONING 1967- 2009” who’s opening reception was attended by CHUCK CLOSE (I got a chance to meet him… awesome!) Check out the flier for Wednesday’s event below:
