Dear Brooklynite:
Think another community loves food like Brooklyn does? Fuggedaboutit!
| • |
A rich fabric of ethnic neighborhoods, including
the most diverse zip code in the county (in Midwood); |
| • |
Restaurants lauded by Zagat and Michelin guides; |
| • |
A food production legacy from Domino Sugar to
the Brooklyn Brewery to Jacques Torres Chocolates; |
| • |
Obscure ingredients like nobody's business, from
Sahadi's to the Park Slope Food Co-op to live poultry
markets; |
| • |
A burgeoning network of farmers markets and community
gardens, and an agricultural heritage to rival
any county in the nation.
|
| • |
From old-timers swilling egg creams to hipsters
demanding fair trade coffee to young moms lugging
grass-fed milk from the farmers markets, Brooklynites
know food and demand the best. |

Enter Edible Brooklyn, a new magazine that celebrates the
borough's diverse food and delicious culture. Brimming with
engaging stories and enticing photography, Edible Brooklyn
defines and honors Brooklyn cuisine. But it's much more than
glam-shots and restaurant reviews. This is a magazine with
an opinion, one that advocates for preserving food traditions,
savoring food experiences, and pulling back the curtain on
where Brooklyn's food comes from and how it gets here.
Edible Brooklyn provides a unique opportunity to reach 40,000
highly desirable customers, four times a year. Edible Brooklyn
will be available at no cost in restaurants, grocers, wine
shops, farmers markets, bakeries, coffee shops, boutiques
and street corner newsracks, in Park Slope, Prospect Heights,
Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Williamsburg,
Greenpoint, and throughout the borough (as well as a few lucky
locations in Manhattan).
We're convinced readers will eat it up. Not just because
Brooklynites are ready to sink their teeth into fresh food
writing. But because Edible Brooklyn is part of a surging
nation-wide trend: the magazine is being co-launched with
Edible East End which celebrates the harvest of the Hamptons
and North Fork, and has enjoyed an overwhelming response there.
These publications are members of the Edible Communities family
of regional food magazines (www.ediblecommunities.com)
In fact, the editors of Saveur selected Edible Communities
for their 2006 Saveur 100 and said they "wish [the magazines]
would crop up everywhere."
We agree, and invite you to join by advertising in our pages.
Sincerely,
Gabrielle Langholtz, Editor |
