In a Brooklyn world we love to see Queens getting it’s fair share of glory. After all, we think Queens has a lot more range than Brooklyn’s artisanal, reclaimed wood, farm to table world of new. (Not haters…Just sayin’) Check out what we mean this weekend in Sunnyside with a few tastes from countries you probably forgot had such a strong food culture. Tuesday, May 19 – 5:30pm-8:30pm.
It might have been a rough night and you have a huge presentation today. No problem. The Hangover Club has you covered with IV Hangover Therapy. They even make house calls so no need to reroute your morning commute. A certified nurse will show up in as little as 45 minutes with 1000ml+ of feel better juice. As it pushes through your veins and heals your aches you can double down with a vitamin boost. 30 minutes later you are done and ready to kill that presentation.
Set in the incredible and manicured 50-acre gardens of this English country estate you’d be hard pressed to find a better setting then Sandon Spring Fair for a food and craft weekend in April. Of course there might be some travel involved. Just 45 minutes out of London (7h 45min from NYC) the grounds transform into a global street food cornucopia and a craft market featuring artisans from all over the isle. If a reprieve is necessary, afternoon tea is quintessentially available inside the majestic, 162 year old hall itself. While inside make sure to explore a little and enjoy the beauty of the building but be careful the Harrowby family still operates part of it as their home.
We’ve covered burgers on FT as much as we possible can. We love them. Ant and I battle burgers vs pizza as the greatest food ever created. In this post. he wins. Time Out Magazine has decided there needed to be a thing called Battle of the Burger. For a slightly steeper than we expected, $50 you get a ticket. That battle ticket does unlock a lot of burger magic. 20 of the cities best burger patty’s, complimentary Budweiser (full disclosure, seems like Bud paid for this whole thing) and entertainment by the 80’s cartoon named, Go Go Gadjet. If you break that $50 bill down, you’re looking at $1 beers and $2 burgers and that’s actually the best ticket in town. Thursday, August 18th at 5:00 pm in Manhattan.
If you’re a proper NYer you know the part a “slice” plays in your daily borough to borough maze run. We’ve written about the necessity of this iconic mainstay extensively. Since we’re kids the price for this necessity has seen a 1000% increase. Enter the recent trend in $1 slice joints. Slice Out Hunger takes the price of old, the best pizza places in NY and a HUGE charity angle on creating their Annual Dollar Slice Night. Fifty of the best NYC pizza makers under one roof for one night of a pizza party unseen since the first Napolitano’s landed on Ellis Island. 100% of proceeds benefits New Yorkers in need. We’ll be there with a bib on. Hope to see you. Wednesday, October 5 from 6pm-8pm in Soho, NYC.
