Boston Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis has put together a compilation for Rounder Records to benefit Hits For Kids foundation called Music Hits Home. The album, which comes out
As we are now into summer and things tend to slow down in the restaurant business here in NYC, sometimes it’s tough to come up with a story that hasn’t been written about by the big guys like Eater, Grub Street, The Feed Blog etc… so I thought I would share with you some of the smaller food blogs that I am currently following which offer as much foodie value to me as do “The Big Blogs.”
All of the blogs listed below are currently on my Google Reader’s RSS feeds. Some of these blogs you may have heard of, some you may not have. All of them provide me with unique, fun and informative food news I can use to try new restaurants, recipes and road trips.
Here we go:
89th & Broke – Another set of eyes, mouths and stomachs scoping out NYC food. They post cool stuff like Favorite Food Finds and restaurants not just in Manhattan. Here is their description of the site: “We’re young professionals residing in Murray Hill and Upper East Side who are always looking for something fun to do or the best place to grab a drink and dinner at an affordable price around the city.”
A Passion for Food – The subtitle to this blog is “One real purpose in life. Eat. Try Everything. Anything. Anywhere. In the end, we all want to be happy and good food makes me happy.” It is written by Kathy YL Chan. Another well connected foodie sharing their food experiences via words and pictures. Here is part of her bio from the site “Born & raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, now calling the East Village of NYC home. It’s perfect here. I write the Sugar Rush column at Serious Eats.”

Artist & Title: Assembly of Dust – Light Blue Lover, Sometimes
Date & Venue: 2010-07-08 Brooklyn Bowl – Brooklyn, NY
Taper & Show Download: Z-Man
Taper Z-Man often shows up in this weekly feature, but the tapes are normally from down south. I guess Z-Man had some business to attend to in New York, so this show by Reid Genauer & The Assembly of Dust got taped. Jason Crosby, who opened the show, joined AOD for the majority of their set supplying fiddle and keyboards. The audio selection is from the encore which features one of AOD’s newest tunes and an old Strangefolk classic. Reid and the gang next play Friday July 23rd in North Conway, NH with The Brew supporting. Hey speaking of reunions, what do you say Reid?
