Even before the doors opened this morning, the Brooklyn Food Conference was a success. In just seven months 300 volunteers created a grassroots food conference that would bring together more than 75 food organizations under one roof for a free event to inform the community with workshops, multimedia and face-to-face contact with the people and organizations that are our local food producers and food agenda thought leaders. The ultimate goal behind the event is to forge a just,secure, sustainable, healthy and delicious food system. Speakers include: Dan Barber, Ana Lappe, Raj Patel,and LaDonna Redmond. There are workshops for kids, teens and adults lunch for sale and tonight -- a casual dress dance. So drop what you are doing, hop on the F train and head to John Jay High School immediately. Visit the site for more transportation info, including the schedule of a shuttle bus from other subway stations. If you can't make it, there is a tremendous amount of educational materials ready for download on the web site, including the launch of a new video series aptly named, "Talking Food" Thanks to everyone involved in making the event happen including: The Park Slope Food Coop, Brooklyn's Bounty, Why (Finding Answers for Poverty and Hunger), The Caribbean Women's Health Organization, Brooklyn Rescue Mission and all the local farmers and food organizations.

A Benefit for the Grand Street Settlement May 7th at the Puck Building it will be a LES neighborhood thing, but folks from all neighborhood acronyms are welcome...UES, DUMBO, MEPA, UWS. If you haven't been to the Lower East Side lately, the 9th annual Taste of the LES will be a tour of over thirty five local restaurants in one venue. The evening benefits the Grand Street Settlement and will help fund their programs that serve low income people of all ages living in the neighborhood. This historic section of Manhattan wasonce the first stop for many immigrants before they moved to other neighborhoods, upstate or to other parts of the country. Since 1916, this organization has established a sense of community and has adapted to reflect the needs of the cultural mix of it's neighbors. For the past nine years, as more restaurants have found their way back to the LES, they have helped make the party by serving up signature dishes and cocktails at this annual event. Restaurants that reestablished the neighborhood scene such as WD-50, The Stanton Standard and Oliva will be joined by newcomers Porchetta and Sorrella. Old school nosh purveyor, Velseka, will be side by side with Think Coffee, the Tiny Giant Sandwich Shop and many more.
