I recently joined in on a Black History Month cele I recently joined in on a Black History Month celebration led by @_nykitchen (Canandaigua) and their very own examples of Black excellence: Sommelier Shomari Smoak (@winewithsmoak ), Chef Eli Tate, and Wine Writer Maiah Johnson Dunn (@thisismaiah).

Chef Eli’s crispiest of crisp fried chicken, saucy ribs, mac & cheese, crazy delicious collard greens, and cornbread was paired with five incredible Black-owned or made wines, all hand selected by Maiah and Shomari. 

For dessert, we had a special treat made by Rochester’s Pound Cakes by Pastor. 

We also got to learn about Black History in the Finger Lakes, including about Fedderman Wine Co., founded in 1972 by Raymond Fedderman in Prattsburgh, NY, recognized as one of the first Black-owned commercial wineries in the U.S.. and the FIRST in New York State!! He was known for his sweet wines like “Irene Red” and “Rosalind White”.

The Finger Lakes is rich in Black History, and luckily New York Kitchen often hosts events beyond just this one month to share the wealth that Black excellence has contributed to the region and beyond. Visit their website for more upcoming events!

Enjoyed an incredible meal at @albadawi.nyc, a Michelin Guide-featured Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn Heights with Tim Robbins and his partner dining in the table next to us. But as a true blue New Yorker, you keep your cool and take in the magic of life in this amazing city.

Snow day and the art of doing nothing even when th Snow day and the art of doing nothing even when the world demands we do so much. 

It’s ok to breathe. Process in silence. Seek comfort in yourself. Laugh. 

REST IS RESISTANCE. 

They want us scared. Broken. Isolated. Hopeless. Joyless. Exhausted. We are not. This moment is not how our story ends.

A wintery day with coffee and books was had in Syr A wintery day with coffee and books was had in Syracuse, NY. For our coffee cart (@cafecomodony ) we headed over to @peakscoffeeco roasting site and were treated to a tour and cupping experience of their beautiful coffee selections which we are excited to serve at market this summer. 

We then headed to Books and Melodies to browse through their large selection of used books and vintage vinyls, while the cozy vibey tunes filled the space. 

Followed that with a stop at @kelseyscoffeeandfriends for a warm matcha and delicious breakfast burrito. And while a visit to Peaks Coffee roasters is not a public affair, you can still pick up a bag or two or more at Kelsey’s - trust us, it’s worth it!

Stay warm and safe out there everyone!
