Local Food Artisans - Dinner on the beach
So happy to have such great local foods on Long Island - I have to share my latest finds. After a date with my husband at the delicious Besito's in Huntington Village, NY we walked around and found this great shop - The Crushed Olive - an amazing tasting shop of olive oils and vinegars. Check out there site - they have some amazing pairing suggestions as well. The dark chocolate balsamic and black cherry balsamic were insane. For now we went with a bottle of the Tuscan Herb olive oil. But we will definitely be back for more!
This morning I stopped at the King's Park Farmer's Market for more of my favorites.
Ciabatta Loaves from the blue duck bakery cafe
Fresh Mozzarella and Mini Rice Balls (so good!) from Papa Pasquale's-Brooklyn - next week I'm going to try their ravioli
Tomatoes from Finks Farm
Everything we need to make some nice chicken cutlet heros for dinner on the beach.
If you live local and haven't visited the market - please do! There are also some great wine, beer and coffee vendors. I will let you know when I try some.
that's some seriously gorgeous and i'm sure excellent groceries! yum...
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy!! One of my favorite foods in the summer is the fresh mozzerella, tomatoes and basil. Pour a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I love it on bread or even crackers.
