Terrae concludes with the publication of a ten-point guide to good practices in which chefs aim to attract and retain talent in rural areas

From their kitchens, gardens, and farms, they keep the pulse of the rural world alive, preserving invaluable cultural traits for all of society. They are acutely aware of their weaknesses—communications, seasonality, labor shortages—but even more so of their strengths, especially their ability to offer a quality of life that city dwellers are rapidly losing.

This Restaurant Follows the Martini-and-Fries Playbook, But Still Pleasantly Surprises

What should have been a prime location with spillover from McCarren Park has instead been a challenge for the restaurants that have tried over the years. But this time might be the charm, with The Snail, a new bistro that opened in November at 544 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint.
