If 10,000 NY Biters opt for one locally sourced dinner instead of a conventional one every week for a year, we'll keep the weight of over 5 mil waiters in CO2 out of the environment.
In the 1800s, a cookshop was a private home where cooks served simply prepared foods.

The Bite
Crazy about NY-grown food but don't want to drive to the farm get it? Cookshop restaurant brings Hudson Valley and Long Island foods right to our own urban backyard. It's seasonal, Mediterranean-kissed American menu showcases local, sustainable ingredients - from comfort food like grass-fed steak and buttermilk fried chicken to the more exotic Montauk squid, Catskill duck confit, and Pipe's Cove (LI) oysters (hello, aphrodisiac). And its craze for eco doesn't stop in the kitchen: Restaurant tables are made from ethically forested American oak, menus are printed on recycled paper, and the chairs are made in Brooklyn from sustainable bamboo. Not so crazy after all...
