Vegetarian Sandwich with Finnish Rye Bread

It’s no secret the farmer’s markets around the city are some of my favorite places to visit on a Saturday morning.

You can find any number of both familiar and new ingredients to play with and put together some fun weekend meals.

I took some of those ingredients and paired them with a Finnish Ruis (Rye) Bread from Nordic Breads based in Long Island City, Queens.

The Nashville Farmers’ Market

The Nashville Farmers’ Market is a melting pot of shops, restaurants, and merchants that offer local and international food and crafts. Open every day of the year, NFM is perfect for taking a quick lunch break or spending the afternoon touring the historic area. One of the many Rent-A-Bike stations throughout the city is outside the market, and a great option for those that want to expand their exploration of Nashville.

The $20 Goose Egg Breakfast Sandwich

Winter Farmer’s Market

Summer at the Greenmarket

Weekend in Williamsburg

By Melissa Limberg Far, far away from my Upper East Side residence is a place that precedes itself in legend.  Hipster legend.  I had vowed to myself that I hated it, I didn’t even want to spend time there.  Brooklyn.  More specifically – Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  Like, the capitol city […]

3 Stops in 9 Blocks – Mini Tour

By Seth Fera-Schanes What do the Union Square Green Market, ABC Home & Carpet and Flatiron building all have in common?  I don’t think it is a stretch to say all are unique places and worth a visit.  They also all happen to be within a 9 street […]
