A Brooklyn Life

Happened across the new quarterly magazine Edible Brooklyn this weekend. Chock full of long articles on eating in Coney Island, Latin fare in Red Hook, fresh mozzarella and more, it’s well-written, smartly edited and has lots of pretty photos and sidebars. The most interesting article was on "grub dinners," dinner parties pulled together from free, scavenged food. Though exact details were not revealed, it was suggested that it all came from the trash. My favorite story was about Prospect Park Greenmarket couple Alex and Stephanie Villani, who run the Blue Moon Fishing stand.  It intrigued me, because I just stopped by their stall Saturday. You can subscribe to the magazine via the website or pick it up around the neighborhood (we found ours at Bubby’s in DUMBO).

We also recently stumbled upon Block Magazine, which covers Williamsburg.
