Dog-friendly Spots in Atlanta

By Full Access NYC on 05/15/2016 • ( Leave a comment )

The pleasure of having your dog for company is special. We humans appreciate, and enjoy the times when we can call on our pet for a warm amity. Not many of us can identify with having this sort of companionship, but a dog for a pet is the best playmate and stress reliever anyone could ever have. Many of us can identify with the confined feeling of staying cooped up in the same space for too long. Well, your dog can feel along these lines too. With the stress of keeping squirrels off the yard, and finding an immaculate pee spot, sometimes your dog wants a new outdoor scene with fresh grass, and some new butts to sniff. For those who enjoy long walks with their furry friend, casual shopping sprees, and frisbee throwing matches in a dog-friendly environment, here are some popular sites to take your dog for nonstop “man and best friend” fun.

Community Gardening: A NYC Experience

By Seth Fera-Schanes on 05/15/2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Space comes at a premium in New York; we all know this to be true. Large outdoor park spaces such as Van Cortlandt, Central, Prospect, Latourette and Kissena are weekend havens for the millions of residents who live across the five boroughs.

In addition to public parks, there are community gardens interspersed in neighborhoods around the city. These gardens will generally have time scheduled for the general public but they also contain planter boxes for individual use.

Urban Garden Center: Eden Under a Harlem Bridge

You look up and your eye follows the length of the train bridge overhead. Above you, passing on those tracks are Metro-North trains taking passengers up to White Plains, along the Hudson and over to Connecticut.

Your lower your gaze and it front of you is a long path of greenery, found at the Urban Garden Center. It is a garden of eden on 116th street and Park Avenue. Surrounded by the city, you are standing amongst trees, flowers, succulents, vegetable and herb sprouts.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Green Peppercorn Sauce

By Full Access NYC on 05/11/2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Classic steak Diane is served with a sauce of sautéed and cooked-down onions, garlic, whiskey, stock, cream, and crushed green peppercorns. Unlike black peppercorns, the green ones have a bright fruitiness to them. I love the same sauce on pork. I brine the tenderloin first to keep it juicy and then grill it whole. The grilling only takes about 10 minutes, and while the meat’s resting, you make the sauce.

Wilted Kale Salad with Poached Duck Egg

By Seth Fera-Schanes on 05/07/2016 • ( Leave a comment )

I think cauliflower might have replaced kale as the new ‘it’ vegetable (Nashville for example has all the cauliflower dishes you could ever hope for.) But don’t worry, kale had it’s time in the sun and in case you aren’t ready to make the switch I put together a kale salad for you below.

The kale in this dish is lightly cooked so it retains a little bite and is complimented with the slightly sweet shallots. You can pick up some duck eggs at the Union Square farmers market. They have a rich yolk which is the perfect compliment to the salad and brings the whole dish together.

Warm Weather Meals: Mahi Mahi Lettuce Wrap

By Seth Fera-Schanes on 05/06/2016 • ( Leave a comment )

No surprises here but New Yorker’s talk about food a lot…..like a lot a lot. Where to get the best sandwich, why we are refusing to eat carbs, where there is a new gelato spot that imports their milk from real Italian Tuscan cows. The Tuscan cow thing peaked your interest, right?

I was eating a banh mi sandwich and wanted to do a version that used all the flavors of the fresh veggies and cilantro. I decided to use Mahi-Mahi and in place of the baguette picked out some butter lettuce leaves. The result is a dish that would be perfect for a NYC rooftop bbq (if that is permitted) or get your cast iron skillet.

Afternoon in Cold Spring

By Seth Fera-Schanes on 05/06/2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Cold Spring is a town of about 2,000 located right on the Hudson River and a 70 minute train ride from Manhattan. It is no secret to people in the Hudson Valley and NYC but if you haven’t made the time to visit, be sure to schedule a 3/4 day visit in the immediate future.

Did Edgar Allan Poe Live in New York?

Did you know the house where Edgar Allan Poe lived and worked for the last three years of his life is in the Bronx? Well, believe it and get ready to hop on the D or 4 train up to Kingsbridge Road.
