Preview of Taste of Tribeca 2012

We are so excited! On May 19th, 2012, the Taste of Tribeca, one of my favorite foodie events the kicks off the food event season for me in New York City, is returning, this year bigger than ever.

If you recall from the Delicious Taste of Tribeca last year, we had a blast and really enjoyed the sense of community that you get from this event.

Taste of Tribeca started a 18 years ago when a group of local parents decided to coordinate a fundraiser for their local PS 150 and 234. What started out with just a few chefs and restaurants, has now grown into a major event bringing together people from all over the city, as well a local restaurants and chefs, bringing the chef and restaurant participation this year to an impressive 70 in total. I believe that is what makes this festival so especially endearing to me. The fact that it has grown from the efforts of a group of parents wanting to improve the educational experiences of their kids, and the support the culinary community has lent for that purpose.

Today I had the pleasure of joining a select few in previewing 10 dishes that will be served at the event. Yes, I even ate the meat to try it all and report back…and I can’t say I regretted one bite of it (as a matter of fact the pastrami sandwich by Chef Mark Spangenthal of Kutsher’s was one of my favorite and an absolute must try).

The preview tasting took place at the gorgeous Sarabeth’s in Tribeca. I am huge fan of everything Sarabeth’s from the food, to the ambiance, to the family-friendliness of all of their locations. Being here, in their sun room, was a treat.

Below is a list of what we tasted…and what you should make sure to try when the during the festival which will take place on May 19th, 2012. For tickets and more information please visit http://www.tasteoftribeca.com/.

Let’s be real: Halloween Season comes and goes t Let’s be real: Halloween Season comes and goes too fast, so if you missed it, I wanted to share this fun Halloween experience to add to your bucket list for next year: the @Naumkeag Pumpkin Show, in the Berkshires’ Stockbridge, MA. 

🎃 Book your tix and time slot online (later times are the most popular). 
🎃 Park at a designated spot in Downtown Stockbridge and take a short bus ride to Naumkeag, a 44-room Gilded Age “cottage” with 8 acres of awe-inspiring natural beauty, including public gardens.
🎃 Tour the gardens, and through some indoor space to view over 1500 mums, carved displays, and more!
🎃 This is a family-friendly experience, and accessibility is limited, including for strollers and wheelchairs. 
🎃 On non-events occasions and depending on weather, the property is available for pre-booked tours. 
🎃 Missed Halloween? Book a tour of their Winter Lights holiday displays which kicks off end of November!

Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts’ Berkshire County? Not even close. But if you needed a quick little fix of mountain air, a day trip will do. 

Here were my stops on this 24 hour jaunt to the Berkshires:

📍Coffee and a morning bite at @wanderberkshires in Pittsfield, MA
📍@themountlenox author Edith Wharton’s home, for forest strolling, sculpture and flower garden admiring, and summer cottage touring - and for a light lunch in Lenox, MA. 
📍Mount Greylock for a drive up to Massachusetts’ highest point (at 3,489 feet) and some epic views.
📍Dinner and drinks at @touristswelcome in North Adams. 
📍Sunset views from Pontoosuc Lake near Pittsfield, MA.

On my previous visit to The Berkshires, I shared a On my previous visit to The Berkshires, I shared a phenomenal dining experience at Tourists Welcome in North Adam’s, MA. 

And I have two more wonderful spots to add to my growing list….alreasy popular with those in the know, so I am just chiming in to further affirm all the accolades. 

Starting with @havencafebakery in Lenox, MA. Super friendly staff, killer chai (and an awesome tea selection) and a small but delightfully seasonal menu. Felt super “homemade” in the yummy, cozy way that makes you feel nostalgic. 

My mind was blown at @statefoodndrink in North Adams, MA. Come on Mondays and experience a Southern classics menu, which …zomg…so good! I cried a little inside to be missing out on their Vietnamese night (Tuesday) but promised Chef Tu Le I would be back for that and their weekend brunch 🙌🏾. The vibe is also welcoming, even for such a massive, factory space, and it felt fun with several community-focused happenings taking place in the surrounding spaces. An immediate favorite and a must on your next trip to The Berkshires!

The Cascades Trail is an easy 2.1 mile hike in and out in the City of North Adams. We all needed a quiet little escape into the woods along a rushing brook, over a few wooden bridges and fallen foliage and towards a  small cascade. 

There are countless hikes for every type of adventure-seeker, but when the goal is just a stroll and a moment of connection with nature and your thoughts, there are plenty of those trails too.
