Bushels of Apple from Prospect Hill Farm


Happy Fall! If you aren’t eating apples every day, you are missing out! Try all the different varieties in the greenmarkets. I find that the more different apples I throw in the pot, the better my apple sauce tastes. There’s an election metaphor in there somewhere, but let’s not go there, shall we?

Two Community Announcements:

  1. Get your tickets to “Fall Into Chocolate” on Sunday afternoon at Roni-Sue’s Chocolates on the Lower East Side. Dip into chocolate fountains and matcha fountains with all kinds of different dippers, plus all the fall treats your teeth can handle!

  2. The travel guide series I edit, 111 Places That You Must Not Miss, is releasing three awesome new guidebooks for locals and experienced travelers: Los Angeles and Edinburgh, plus 33 Getaways from San Francisco!  And if you find yourself in LA on Saturday, October 29th, you are invited to the 111 Places in LA Book Launch Party!
