The season has changed, and the Seaport story has progressed. Last December, as the cheese-grilling minion of the Saxelby table, I became one with the New Amsterdam Market. My unsuspecting frozen fingers flew round the knives and boards and cheese and pickles with a contagious rhythm, a pulse of energy I’d caught from the stands, [...]

The ongoing effort to establish a public, indoor, year-round market in Manhattan is alive and well, and this Sunday will gather a merry medley of regional food producers, purveyors, distributors, and supporters.
