I had the good fortune of attending City Harvest’s A Taste of Summer party, organized by their hip young contingent Generation Harvest. It was (nearly) impossible to sample all the lovely dishes, which were served up by dozens of the city’s restaurants that participate in City Harvest’s main initiative of getting their kitchens’ excess food to the city’s hungry instead of throwing it out at the end of the night. Good idea, right? I did my best to try as many as I could, including dishes from La Esquina, New Leaf Restaurant & Bar, Dickson’s Farmstand Meats, Rye, Motorino, Yerba Buena, The Stanton Social, The Meatball Shop and Ron Ben-Israel Cakes. All in a day’s work, folks.

Mexivore
Mex-hattan/South of the Brooklyn Next time a Californian or Texan disses New York’s Mexican food, send them my way. In fact, in honor of all our city’s great casas de lish, today is officially Mexivore Day here at NewYorkavore. Hola Haters!

Long Live La Esquina! So relieved they reopened, as I simply could not live without treats from the corner taqueria—like the Chochinita Pibil (pulled pork, shredded cabbage, habanero pickled onions & jalapeno) and the Hongo Y Epazote (seasonal mushrooms, epazote, hominy, queso blanco & rice). Bar none, my favorite pick-me-up mini-dinner after a long shopping day downtown.

In the wake of the recent earthquake in Chile, a few of NYC’s hippest restos (Freemans, Roberta’s, Lovely Day, La Esquina, The Smile and Vinegar Hill House) are cooking up special apps and drinks to benefit Habitat for Humanity’s efforts to rebuild starting this coming Monday, April 5 through Monday, April 19.
After the jump, check out a rundown of the Chilean vinos/vittles each resto has in store…
