Locally Sourced Dinner

Mile High Club

The Bite:
Wanna hook up with orgasmically good…food? Fly to A Celebration of the 100 Mile Menu at the Broad Street Ball Room (though leave the gown at home, it's casual chic). Great Performances' Exec Chef Chris Harkness'll cook up everything for the tasting - including fried green tomatoes with aioli, sourced from Katchie Farm (all food's coming from farms 100 miles away), and apple and maple ice cream shakes from Red Jacket Orchards. Buy tickets now before it's all occupied.
Why Care?: 
Eating local grub tastes better and treads lighter on the earth since it takes less fuel to get it on your plate, plus this event will benefit The Sylvia Center, a foundation that teaches kids about how to eat well.
We're already salivating over these six words: country pizza with onions and ricotta. 
Wanna Try: 
Farm to Table: A Celebration of the 100 Mile Menu at the Broad Street Ball Room; Sep. 22, 6-9 pm; 41 Broad St. Tickets, $85.

Cocktail Fact

Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Airways, claimed he joined the mile high club at age 19, but found out later the woman was married and never saw her again. 

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters dine on food sourced within 100 miles of Manhattan, we'll save enough fuel to fly from Avenue A to Auchtermuchty, Scotland more than 4,000 times.
