Jane Eats NYC

Hello, Blogosphere!

I guess it’s only right that I start off by introducing myself.  I’m Jane.  How lovely to meet you! (We’ll get to my silly titular pun later).  I live in New York and I love to eat.  One of my very favorite things about this city is the endless selection of delicious, healthy, affordable food.  After spending what seems like years reading other people’s excellent food blogs - Kath’s, Jenna’s, Gena’s, Caitlin’s, Tina’s, Heather’s, and Meghann’s, to name only a few - I decided it was finally time to start my own! There don’t seem to be enough people in the food blogging world singing the (fully deserved) praises of my fair city (Gena is the major exception, though my blog will be quite different from hers, as you’ll see!).

So what’s with my atrocious spelling? The short answer: I love meat! Before your feathers get too ruffled, I would like to mention that I am very well versed in all of the environmental, economic, nutritional and social problems with conventionally farmed animals.  I have been an animal lover all my life and I would never want to inflict that kind of suffering on an innocent creature.  That’s why, whenever possible, I buy my meat, fish, eggs and dairy from reputable, humane, sustainable farming organizations.  I particularly love - love love love - the Union Square Greenmarket because they always have a truly wonderful selection - friendly people, reasonable prices, and top quality goods that I can feel good about supporting.

Have I rambled enough yet?

One more thing: I’m planning to keep this blog relatively text-light (this post the obvious exception), and will try to share mostly beautiful images of the wonderful bounty of my city.  Welcome aboard!
