Going to see Midsummer Night’s Dream tonight at the BAM Harvey Theater (Fulton between Ashland Place and Rockwell Place). We’d want ideally to be in close walking distance to the theater, since one of our party is a...

That raw cranberry-orange-sugar kind from the bag recipe is really, really good in hot midsummer with cold sliced chicken or turkey. Make it a couple of days ahead so it can blend. It also freezes nicely.

Modern agribusiness is an interesting thing . I agree , Mexico produces some GOOD winter tomatos . But maybe we’re not supposed to eat tomatos in February . It’s called seasonal . I agree that theres nothing like a...

I have a feeling that mid-summer is not Jacques-Imo’s best time. We have eaten there a number of times, and some meals have been fabulous, others so-so. Probably our least impressive was in the summer right before they...

Swedish Midsummer (June 13th, I think) they have a great variety of food from many vendors at pretty reasobale prices. I think they celebrate it in the park at the Bottom of Battery Park City. A call to the Swedish Consulate...

My mom planted a chayote seedling one spring day on the southwest corner of our home when I was a kid. By summer, it had covered half the side of the house. By mid-summer, I was assigned the daily duty of climbing on our roof to...

Midsummer House in Cambridge is one of my 2 or 3 favourite restaurants in the UK. a playful molecular whimsy dovetailing into modern based classical french cuisine. the coherency of the menu progression from the molecular to the...

With the Humboldt Fog or other strong cheese, I’d serve honeycomb if you can find it. My local growers market won’t have theirs until mid-summer and I can order online but sounds like you need it sooner. If you have...

Just got around to reading the Table Talk column in Thursday’s Inquirer. From the Boot is expanding to Ambler at 110 E. Butler Ave. - former home of Agave Grille. Opening hoped for sometime in mid-summer. Same menu as...

don’t cause tears. I’m not sure if the flavor or texture of potatoes changes – if so, certainly not so as to make them unpleasant. That said, in humid mid-summer Massachusetts, I bought a 15# bag of baby Yukon...

was an odd lamb soup, heavy(beans & barley in lamb stock) & lukewarm but still out of place on a mid-summer menu, it seemed to me. that it was lukewarm probably stemmed from the servers spending as much time preening for...

us also a good choice in this range. Above $45 I’d suggest Sawyer or LaJota (Howell Mountain) for a couple of the better-known labels, and among the lesser-known: Midsummer Cellars, Temple Family and Davis Family. Some...

I once worked figs in the Central Valley, between Madera and Merced. Calamurnas and Adriaticos. It was a mid-summer's nighmare of heat and dust. Might be a bit early in California. Strangely enough, my wife just brought home a...

, but you could give it a try: Meatballs Stroganoff This luxurious, comforting indulgence will sure shake off the midwinter (or midsummer) heebie jeebies. It’s inspired by Pierre Franey’s New York Times “60 Minute Gourmet” farewell...

. They’ve only been open since mid-summer so I hope they can iron out a few things. For the price, it’s a very nice Hamilton dinner. Please post other experiences if anyone else has been there. Cheers JC
