FARM-TO-FORK
Blue Hill 75 Washington Place , NYC
December is for eating and resistance is futile . Once you ’ ve made peace with this , make yourself a reservation here . The food is elegant without being fussy and rustic without being coarse . It ’ s ingredients are sourced from Hudson Valley farms , as well as from their very own Blue Hill Farm 75 miles north of the city in Great Barrington , MA . We love that the restaurant features a great wine list highlighting producers who harken back to “ artisanal techniques .” Choose from their beautiful menu or splurge on the Farmer ’ s Feast , a five-course tasting that changes weekly depending on the harvest .
The
Farm on Adderley 1108 Cortelyou Road , Brooklyn
Opened by locals keen on feeding their fellow Ditmas Park neighbors well , The Farm ’ s mission is to bring the best of ingredients to their patrons in a thoughtful and honest way . In following this mission , they go out of their way to support local farmers , artisans and entrepreneurs . Seasonal menus are available for perusal on their website and each menu item is linked to the farms from which its ingredients were sourced . Pure , hearty and satisfying , this is the place to go for a steaming bowl of fragrant soup and whatever roast of meat is on the menu that week . Tuck in and enjoy .
Northeast
Kingdom 18 Wyckoff Avenue , Brooklyn
The proprietors , a husband and wife team from Vermont , have created a modern American food haven that draws its inspiration from the food culture of the Northeast . Pulling produce not only from their own garden but from other local farms as well , the restaurant takes pride in its foraged ingredients . You will want one of everything from their brunch menu alone . But pop by for dinner after a busy day and treat yourself to a spiced toddy and half a roast chicken . You ’ ll be glad you did .
