Brunch at Neversink Farm
We kicked off the Plate to Gate series this Saturday at the beautiful Neversink farm in the Catskills. Brunch in the middle of an open field sitting on bails of hay, surrounded by all things green, listening to the Neversink river in the distance while eating fresh organic food picked that very same morning on the farm…. Now that’s luxury!
Chef Patrick cooked up a delicious spread...

bobo burger for a real fan
From the earliest days I can remember going to see the football with my dad. Long cold afternoons watching the stars of the day pace up and down the hallowed turf that I so wished to play on. The unofficial food of the game, for a supporter anyway, is meat. Meat pies, hot dogs and that treasured football feast: the burger. I have always associated the burger with the game. Recently if you go and...

WatchCarolyn Steel - Sitopia - How Food Shapes Our Cities I had the honor of meeting Carolyn Steel last year at “Hungry New York,” an event I helped organize in conjunction with the Urban Green Building Council of New York City. She’s a fascinating speaker and her concept of Sitopia is naturally compelling. An architect by trade, Carolyn Steel is now described as a ‘food...

PS 41 to build a massive rooftop garden
We think that kids should get their hands dirty and at PS 41 they get the chance to do just that. Vicki Sando started The Garden Program in the spring of 2003 with a few wooden containers and has grown it into a natural and educational oasis. The benefits of introducing children to nature are so fundamental, they’re easily overlooked - awareness, reasoning, wonder, creativity, and...

burgers with a match
bobo will show the soccer world cup in the Den during brunch on Saturday, June 12th. USA vs. England kicks off at 2.30pm! It’s time to man up and choose which side you’re on. With half the bobo team having roots in England, that’s a tough decision. Either way, bobo burger and soccer = a perfect Saturday afternoon.
