Eating Well for a Cause: The Greenpoint Soup Kitchen Supper Club













The Greenpoint Soup Kitchen Supper Club held a fundraiser for our neighborhood food bank last week and needless to say Cafe Drake, Jen and Ben and Eva P. were amongst the first in line. Bourbon and ginger cocktails and strawberry shrubs quenched our thirst in the church garden as we noshed on assorted homemade pickles, beet hummus, grilled flatbreads and quinoa-stuffed collard green purses. Soon after we all moved to the enormous communal tables inside and feasted on multiple courses of the finest vegetarian, locavore fare: a paradigm-shifting salad of tender lettuces, marinated shaved kohlrabi and deep-fried baby lima beans, creamy baked risotto with garlic scapes, turnip gratin, Swiss chard frittata, roasted French breakfast radishes and even more. We're sure to become regulars at these community culinary assemblies!
