NYC Enjoy a slow Sunday at Slow Food USA's Urban Harvest & New Amsterdam Market this Sunday, Octoober 2nd. New Amsterdam Market will be held from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the New York City Municipal Building (1 Centre Street in Lower Manhattan); and The Spirits of the Region, a three hour unlimited tasting of the region’s best handcrafted wines, beers, and ciders at the Institute for Culinary Education, (50 West 23d Street.) from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Both venues will showcase artisanal and sustainable products from New York City and its hinterlands, including New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. This vast region corresponds closely to the lands that were once claimed by the Dutch as the New Netherlands, with New Amsterdam as its capital.
