Feast or Famine: Rosemary’s, NYC

New York is known for its revolving door of hot restaurants, but judging by the relentless hype and endless bookings, Rosemary’s is here to stay. Opened by Bobo owner Carlos Suarez back in June, Rosemary’s has already cemented the kind of reputation that every restaurateur dreams of. Thanks to the rooftop garden, which is tended to daily by the Executive Chef Wade Moises, the menu has become synonymous with supreme freshness and vibrant organic flavour- a far cry from the ‘spag bol’ reputations that often orbit Italian restaurants.

Though the eatery is now open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the atmosphere really gains that ‘hot new restaurant’ electricity once the sun has set. An unpretentious yet distinctive menu boasts traditional Italian dishes of bistecca served with royal trumpets, Sicilian chopped salad with fresh artichokes and an octopus salami dish, which in truth, is totally awesome.

If you’re looking for something a little lighter and faster, The Manual recommends the antipasti, or the small ‘verdure’ dishes. Super tasty (and healthy) offerings of warm olives; beets, dandelion and hazelnut and radishes, butter, salt and thyme will transport your taste buds to new homegrown highs.

If your wine knowledge remains a tad fuzzy, the innovative ‘40 bottles all at $40’ wine program will see you right. By removing the all too familiar price tag stigma, customers are invited to let their senses (and the recommendations of the trained staff) guide them.

The interior is pretty easy on the eye too. Appealing to the current zeitgeist for exposed brick, pre-loved wooden surfaces and sporadic bursts of plant life, the airy space has that loft-like oasis feel to it that has become so synonymous with West Village haunts.

Essentially, Rosemary’s is a place where those memorable, once in a blue moon meals can occur. Where, during those brief few hours of freedom that the working day permits, you can unwind with friends and enjoy some really great food, freshly sourced from an NY rooftop.

Organic Valley enters the oat milk creamer space
Organic oats without toxic pesticides
Organic Valley Oat Milk

Organic Valley, a brand known for its award-winning dairy creamers, has entered the world of oat milk creamers. Oat milk creamers have been on the rise as consumers seek more dairy-free alternatives to add creaminess to coffee. The brand's newest oat-based creamer product line contains only 30 calories per serving, adding a smooth, creamy texture that froths perfectly for lattes and cappuccinos.

Organic Valley sources its oats directly from family farms in cool, dry climates as an organic farmer-owned cooperative. The oats are grown without GMOs, toxic pesticides, or herbicides. The creamers are dairy-free, nut-free, and lactose-free. The oat-based creamer is now available in four different flavors: Vanilla, Caramel, Oatmeal Cookie, and Cinnamon Spice. Each flavor option gives coffee drinkers a chance to personalize their coffee at home, creating a healthier alternative than many sugar-filled coffee creamers.
