What's on Eli's Mind
For me, as for most Americans, Memorial Day weekend is the official start of the summer season—the season of weekends out of the city and of grilling everything. Here in the store, we are in the middle of stone fruit from California season, the end of my crop of rooftop, heirloom tomatoes is in view, just as the local varieties start to arrive. I'm already dreaming about Long Island corn on the cob. And speaking of ice cream—have you visited my son Sasha’s UES frozen treats store, GLACE? A summer essential if ever there was one!
