Salsa, Bread, Gluten-Free Baked Goods, and Fresh Produce on Sale at Bronxville Farmers' Market |
 |
 |
 |
|
By Pascale Le Draoulec, Director, Bronxville Farmers' Market
Jun. 19, 2019: What happens when a Texan weaned on salsa moves to New York and can't find any salsa worthy of her family's homemade version? Well, she gets her hands on her Aunt Lilly's closely guarded recipe and starts making it and jarring it herself. That's what. Ashley Nilsson, with her ridiculously good (and reasonably priced!) salsas that come in all sorts of spice levels from "not hot" to "hot" to "way too hot" is just one of several new vendors joining the Bronxville Farmers' Market this season.
TEX@NY Salsa, Aunt Lilly's original recipe.
This year, the weather has been good to us on Saturdays and we are crossing fingers (and toes) that we will be spared the heavy rains of 2018.
Dry weather is especially important for vendors like Wave Hill Breads, Connecticut's star baker, which has also joined the market with its dizzying array of French and Italian breads from classic baguettes to olive-studded focaccia. And, of course, let's not forget its ever-popular pull-apart "monkey bread." Though the bakery is based in Norwalk, CT, owners Tim and Angela Topi live in Bronxville, so they couldn't be happier to finally be at their "hometown" market.

Mostly Myrtle's owner, Debra Sandowski, has retired from markets. Worry not: we have plenty of gluten-free offerings at Meredith's Baked Goods as well as Bohemian Baked and Anke's Fit Bakery. Anke is a personal trainer who makes unique and crisp oat-based cookies that are as healthy as they are delicious. And her packaging makes these cookies perfect for gifts.
While our rotating vendors are always changing, you can count on our produce and fruit vendors to stay constant. As we have for the last three years, we offer both conventionally grown and organic greens. Sun Sprout Farm is certified organic and from Black Dirt country, as is Morgiewicz Produce, the behemoth stall holding up the rear of the market.
Orchards of Concklin is with us as they have been for nearly two decades. How lucky is the market that the owner himself, Rich Concklin, comes to sell strawberries, peaches, and plums himself? And apple cider donuts, too.
Our on-site market manager, Natalie Rivera, continues to be the friendly face that greets you at the market each week. She is a nutritionist AND a personal chef, so don't hesitate to ask her questions like "what do I do with kohlrabi?"
Thank you, Bronxville shoppers, for your constant support! Follow the Farmers’ Market on Facebook to see its list of vendors every week.

A First-Rate New Restaurant Opens in Bronxville |
|
|
|
|
By Karen Talbot
May 29, 2019: A first-rate new restaurant has opened in Bronxville, Tredici Social, at 104 Kraft Avenue. It serves contemporary Italian food with a modern flair.
The décor is a cross between old world and modern. Black and gray are used as the colors throughout, and one side of the restaurant’s walls is covered with flocked velvet wallpaper and the other side has gray walls with black wainscoting below.
The restaurant is divided into two sections, the front, where there is a nice-sized and usually busy bar and a shiny silver tin ceiling, and the back area, which has a black, gray, and white glass divider that separates the two rooms. You can’t help but notice the three large white artichoke steel lights over the bar and in the back, a large red steel light, aptly named Big Bang.
The energetic hands-on owner, Michael Colucci, is front and center making sure that everyone is well taken care of with delicious food and wonderful wine.
A basket of bread and very good garlicky olive oil were brought to the table after we were seated. We then ordered the following appetizers: "ham & cheese" arancini, homemade crispy risotto balls filled with house-cured prosciutto cotto, spring peas, pecorino cheese, and fontina over Parmigiano fonduta and a special of the evening, smoked arancini risotto balls with flavorful mushrooms and truffle oil. Another popular item is the “inside out” meatballs, a mixture of beef, pork, and veal stuffed with fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and fontina cheese panko breaded and fried, topped with homemade crushed plum tomato sauce.
Our entrées were garganelli “umbriaco," hand-rolled penne with homemade crushed plum tomato sauce and a touch of cream with a shot of Grey Goose, finished with basil dust (also available in half portions). The very best rendition of chicken scarpariello is here: free-range organic chicken sautéed with sweet cherry peppers, roasted garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, wild mushrooms, and crumbled sausage, topped with crispy fried potato chips. The chicken was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the sauce was outstanding. Our third entrée was lobster ravioli filled with homemade burrata and topped with Maine lobster, ramps, nettles, spring peas, baby spinach, grape tomatoes, and a touch of cream.
The fabulous executive chef, Giuseppe Fanelli, is a master at creating all of this special food and its artistic presentation.
To go with all of the entrées, you must order the artichoke salad, which has crispy Jerusalem artichokes over baby arugula tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and Limoneira vinaigrette finished with shaved Parmigiano cheese and is served with crispy fried potato chips.
We enjoyed the following outstanding wines by the glass: Chardonnay–Freelander Napa Valley, Baby Amarone–Masi, Italy, and Cabernet Sauvignon–J. Lohr, also from Napa. The red wine goblets are made of very substantial glass and are super looking.
Do not skip the homemade dessert, which is worth the extra calories. Choices include the most delicious coconut cake, a decadent moist chocolate cake, both served with whipped cream and strawberries, key lime gelato, and chocolate panna cotta.
Service is impeccable and our waitress was enthusiastic and friendly. The wait staff are dressed in black, which is a nice touch.
Tredici Social has a sister restaurant, Tredici North in Purchase, and when I asked Michael why they didn’t call this new restaurant Tredici South, he explained that it is a cozy spot similar to Bronxville and the word "social" implies a small gathering, hence, Tredici Social. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope that everyone tries it!

New Casual Mexican Eatery Has Opened in Bronxville |
|
|
|
|
By Karen Talbot
Apr. 24, 2019: A new casual Mexican eatery has opened in Bronxville. It highlights a variety of tacos and is aptly called The Taco Project.
The restaurant has lively décor and lighting. There are five small tables with chairs that seat two people; the other choice of seating is on small stools scattered along one wall where you eat at counter spaces. You order your food, pay for it at the counter, and when it’s ready, it is brought to you by a member of the wait staff, usually very quickly, so much so that some of the food was not as hot as it should have been. Overall, the restaurant has a fast-casual feel.
I went to The Taco Project for dinner with a friend and the food arrived within ten minutes. For starters, we ordered guacamole, Taco Project salsa, and rice and beans. We enjoyed our guacamole and salsa with very good homemade tortilla chips.
For mains, we had shrimp tacos and classic beef tacos. The shrimp tacos were tempura-battered shrimp topped with mango salsa, tomatillo sauce, cilantro, and radish served on a soft corn tortilla and were very good. The classic beef tacos with seasoned ground beef, topped with cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, lettuce, and sour cream, were served on a hard-shell corn tortilla. Other taco choices include chicken, fish, steak, chorizo, pork belly, and veggie, all of which come two to an order and are priced from $8.45 to $9.95. All of the food, including the guacamole and salsa, is on the mild side.
Other menu items include quesadillas, salads, burritos, and burrito bowls, all served in generous portions. You can order vino by the glass in white, red, or rosé or cervezas and Taco Project sangria by the glass or pitcher, along with Mexican Coke, Sprite, iced tea, plain water, or Jarritos, flavored sparkling water.
Because of the small tables, counter seating, and fast-casual feel, The Taco Project may be more of a lunch than a dinner place. It's also good for take-out and has a nice catering menu.

Bar Bites at Morton's: You Can't Beat This Deal |
|
|
|
|
By Karen Talbot
Apr. 3, 2019: “Bar bites,” served during “power hour” in the bar area of Morton’s: The Steakhouse in the City Center in White Plains, are a less expensive alternative to dining on steak entrees. Power Hour is Monday to Friday from 4:30 to 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm to close and Sunday from 5:00 pm to close.
The bar dining area, which is all black with some dark gray accents, has seating at the bar or at high-boy tables and chairs. There are three televisions, dim lighting, and a floor-to-ceiling window that looks out onto Mamaroneck Avenue. Parking is available in a large municipal parking garage behind City Center. You can also pay $10 for valet parking, which is quite desirable.
The “bar bites” are offered in $8, $9 or $10 categories; the same items are also available in a larger size at a higher price in the main dining room. Every table is brought a large warm loaf of onion bread, served with soft unsalted butter.
We started with the iceberg wedge bites at $8 with blue cheese, bacon, and tomato served three on a plate, which is great for sharing. On the regular menu, a larger portion would have cost $11.50. Next came mini crab cake BLTs served in threes from the $10.00 category (larger crab cakes are $18 on the regular menu). We followed up with the very popular filet mignon trio, served rare with three tasty toppings, blue cheese, bourbon peppercorn, and béarnaise ($17 for a larger portion on the regular menu). A must-have to go with these delicious bites is an order of the matchstick fries for $8.00, offered in a cone-shaped metal container loaded with warm fries and enough for three people. Parmesan truffle matchstick fries are also available.
During the “bar bites” hours, wine by the glass is considerably less. We had an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay from California, all priced at just $8.50 a glass. During regular dining hours, these wines by the glass would have cost $13.00 each. By the way, the wine was served in very generous portions. Certain cocktails and beers are also offered at reduced prices. Sean Radlein, the general manager and sommelier, was very personable and attentive, and the service was quite good.
There also is a category called “extra bites,” which features Morton’s prime burger for $25.00 and a 9 oz. prime ribeye steak sandwich for $32.00. You can also get oysters on the half shell at $3.00 each and jumbo shrimp cocktail at $6.00 each.
So, if you are looking for good food featuring steak at a good price, you can’t beat this deal!
