On Saturday, September 23rd we spent a sun-drenched day enjoying the 2017 Greenwich Wine + Food Festival, presented by Serendipity Magazine. Held at Greenwich’s Roger Sherman Baldwin Park, the event introduces brands, restaurants, and foodies to each other via a day of demonstrations, workshops, and tastings. The day began with a Grand Tasting, where vendors offered samples of their best dishes. Restaurants and caterers from all over Connecticut presented innovative fresh flavors to the hungry guests. The dishes ranged from tacos to cupcakes, covering a wide range of tastes. One of our favorite bites of the day was Back 40 Kitchen’s delectable beef cheek taco.
Summer has ended and winter is approaching. Beach season is over but the excitement of binge-watching is about to begin. Whether you’re catching up on all you missed this summer or getting into something new, chances are you’ll spend some time streaming entertainment to beat the cold weather blues. While you’re watching you may also be snacking. With snacking comes great responsibility we often just shovel sweet and savory things into our face without thinking. This and the hours of lounging in front of a screen can be disastrous to the body. Lucky for you we spent a few weeks compiling a list of health-conscious food items and how you can make a dish a little bit healthier. We sampled and resampled several old and new products and came up with some satisfying options for your taste buds.
After finding success with their east village location, the owners of Le Petit Parisien bring their rustic sandwiches to midtown’s east side. Le Petite Parisien honors French cuisine in its simplest form with freshly made baguettes, imported cheeses, and quality meats. Their concept is an homage to the quaint little bistros of 1920’s Paris. The cafe is modeled after the intimate eateries, where authors and artists met to collaborate during France’s Annees Folles or Crazy Years. The sandwich is named after a famed French Newspaper.

Le Diner En Blanc celebrated its 7th year in NYC with a glorious picnic in Lincoln Center’s historic courtyard. Guests of the event arrived decked out in all white creating an endless sea of chic, from the historic steps of the Opera to beyond the bandshell. Invitations to the party are the most coveted on the New York social calendar, and for good reason, it is a fabulous experience. To be surrounded by like minded individuals focused only on merriment is a rare occasion and one we should all take advantage of. Adding the appeal is the exclusivity of the guest list. Entry is only granted to a precious few thousand as many more join the expanding wait list, hoping for their chance to enjoy the festivities. If you are fortunate enough to be extended an invitation you won’t know where the party is until the last possible moment. The party’s location is a closely guarded secret and it differs each year and is only revealed to reveler hours before the kickoff. Diner en Blanc is like no other as the guests provide their own atmosphere. Each table setting is curated by the attendees, who bring their own tables chairs and centerpieces. This concept allows for a tremendous creative effort as guests build elaborate setups complete with lighting and luxurious plating.
