Springtime crops are currently growing in abundance, and we are finally coming out of the dull harvest (at least on the East Coast) that is winter. All of the yummy fruits and vegetables currently flooding the local markets as well as those that are still on the horizon have got me thinking about food swaps. In particular, how my neighborhood—Astoria, Queens—is lacking one. That is until a few days ago, when I first heard that a few lovely ladies in my hood have been thinking the exact same thing as me.
The first ever Queens Swap meeting is May 22nd and I’m super excited! The event will be held at the fabulous Queens Kickshaw, a wonderful grilled cheese place with some killer (and unconventional) side dishes, from 4-6pm. If you live in the hood, you should think about signing up! It should be a lot of fun. They are limiting the event to 20 food swappers, so don’t wait around if you’re interested. (Whoops, it’s actually all filled up, but put yourself on the waiting list!)
