I see so many great food-related festivals and events going on in NYC throughout the year, but I believe I probably miss out on even more that I never hear about! So I thought it would be fun to put together a group to keep each other informed of events and hang out at them. For example, I just realized that I missed the Lobster Rumble a few weeks ago, but will be 100% attending the upcoming Bacon Bash and Cheesemonger Invitational! (as of 6/23/12) Please feel free to schedule events, and/or sen …

Enough of North Indian food already - you've got to learn make Goan food, and once you've eaten Goan food, all food with heavy cream and ghee will be a thing of the past. We could share and compare recipes or I can show you how to whip up a delicious tempting meal in 40 minutes. Goan food is aromatic and very inviting using many Indian spices and mainly tumeric, the new found organic antiseptic medicinal herb. Fish and coconut are the other two big ingredients in Goan cooking. I am hoping you gu …

I may just be the ideal person to represent the Italian culture because I am Italian-American raised in the smells and cultures of Italy in NYC and hope to bring my personal experiences to the group to keep it going strong. My parents are 100% Italian while I was born in NYC as a first generation Italian-American Paone. Growing up, I spend many Summers in Italy and recall them to be the best Summer's of my childhood. Spending the Summer months in Italy was a special time allowing me to expe …

Manhattan Valley is that little, wonderful slice of NYC between where the UWS Ends (96th St.) and Morningside Heights begins (110th). It's been my home for the last three years and I. Love. It. So. Much. It's magical, no? I wanted to create a group where neighbors of MV and the UWS could meet up over some of the best meals this area has to offer... because there are some truly awesome places. The margaritas at Cascabel, the Turkish food and Turkaz, and the Thai at Thai Market are among my favori …

In this cultural melting pot called New York City, isn't it surprising that there's no meetup group for bengali culture and literature enthusiasts? And we are talking of an ethnic group whose identity is cast in its culture and literature. This group attempts to fill that void. This is for you, if - you can read and write bengali - you think bengali culture is deeper and broader than durga pujo, or any pujo for that matter - you do not believe in caste, class and religious divides - you are not …
