A deliciously different guide for native New Yorkers and visitors alike, with a broad yet discriminating view of the Big Apple's incredibly rich "food landscape." Compiled and written by passionate food-lovers who know the city inside and out, this unique guide covers not only the fancy four-star restaurants but the neighborhood hangouts and hidden treasures that make New York City such an international culinary destination. The Slow Food Guide to New York City celebrates the foods and cuisines of the city's finest restaurants, green markets, specialty food shops, bars, and late-night spots. What all these places share is a commitment to the values of the international Slow Food movement: Artisanship, Conviviality, Eco-Gastronomy, Freshness, Sustainability, Tradition, and Typicality.
