The Unfancy Food Show

uffs09web-398x6351The much anticipated annual Unfancy Food Show was held this past Sunday at East River Bar, celebrating all things local, organic, sustainable, artisanal and Brooklyn. Organized by Annaliese Griffin and Tom Mylan, the show included nearly twenty vendors supplying a vast mouth-watering and curious mix of edible goods from raw chocolate and rooftop grown vegetables to authentic kimchee and peppery beef jerky.

31_36_gershdrinksbeer1_z1Tonight at 7:30pm, Pete’s Candy Store (709 Lorimer St) presents Kimber VanRy as part of their bi-monthly lecture series they call Open City Dialogue.

Few things better evoke the poetic pleasures of a Brooklyn summer than drinking a beer on the stoop on a hot evening.  Just one little thing, though: it’s ILLEGAL!  So Kimber VanRy found out last summer when he received a $25 summons for the nefarious act in his home hood of Prospect Heights.  He could have just paid the small fine–but where’s the fun in that? Mr. VanRy decided instead that he would fight for his right to party! After numerous court cases and even a New York Times profile, Mr. VanRy is ready to give the full tale!
