Its very sad. Hunts Point (the south bronx) is home to the Hunts Point market--the fruit and vegetable wholesale market for NYC. But local stores can't shop there, and the neighborhood with the huge fresh food market is left with out fresh foods.
ReplyDeletemy dd is part of a CSA (the farm is on LI, she is in queens--here in NYC, POLITICS, not geography rules. Look at a map, and you'd see 4 NYS counties on LI, but Queens IS not part of LI!)
I got some of her veggies for the service of picking them up for her..last night roast turnips, tonight, turnip greens!
The geography of NYC has always baffled me. When I look at a map it's hard to tell ... well maybe the Google map is better. I'll go look. Why is Queens not part of Long Island? Was there some sort of historical reason? Irish voting blocks, or???? Most of the people I've known out here who were from Queens originally were Irish.
ReplyDeleteGrats on the fresh veggies! I love turnip greens cooked in soups and all by themselves with salt and butter. Yum. Well, fake butter. hehe
