Stories from Tarrytown Local
A Note From Steve
It's been just over a year since Fox and I started building Tarrytown Local. Our many projected openings have whizzed by with unpredictable construction. Everyone tells you construction is hard, but I thought I was slick, that my legal background could cut through permitting, that I would get things done fast, on schedule. It's been a painful drop back to reality.
What I've Been Up To
It's been a few months since we all thought Tarrytown Local would be open. Turns out building a restaurant/grocery/bakery/mill is pretty complicated! I figured I'd share a few things I've been working on and thinking about. This won't be an exhaustive report on our sourcing habits, but hopefully it'll give you a glimpse into one of the things that makes Tarrytown Local special.
Expect More From The People Who Feed You
Dietary choices shape our bodies, planet, and culture. When we eat out, we delegate those choices to others. It's time we expect more from the people who make those decisions on our behalf.
