This Saturday (10/1) at 3:00pm we offer another exciting culinary workshop exploring The Art of The Tomato Sauce. Join Chef Nicola Maurello of Pasticcio, who serves up delicious traditional Italian food at Dekalb Market seven days a week, and Mark Hellerman, a farmer at the Dekalb Farm and professor at near-by Cuny City Tech, to produce a tomato sauce for all seasons and all tastes.
We will be joined by the students from the Hospitality Dept at City Tech who do plenty of sauce making during their rigorous training in the culinary arts. At the Tomato Sauce Canning Workshop their enthusiasm and culinary interest will be essential as they work with Chef Nicola and wife, Nina, who have been creating sauces for their family for the past 24 years! Now that’s a lot of tomatoes.
And it wouldn’t be Dekalb Sauce without produce from the farm. We will be harvesting Genovese basil and oregano right up to go-time to ensure our commitment to hyper-local, super-fresh continues. We can’t wait to see you there.
New “shipping container” market features local shops, an incubator farm, an Internet radio station, and cutting-edge food vendors.
Urban Space is excited to announce that Dekalb Market, a new sustainable hub for retail and community, is scheduled to open on Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn on Saturday, July 23.
A collection of shops, an educational farm, an Internet radio station, and food vendors, the market will provide fun and entertainment for people of all ages. A portion of the market’s vendors will be housed in retrofitted shipping containers, alongside an incubator urban farm.
Dekalb Market will be
located at the intersection of Flatbush and Willoughby in Downtown Brooklyn, close to Fort Greene, DUMBO, Long Island University, Metrotech, the downtown business district and Fulton Street.
“We’re creating a central location in Brooklyn for commerce, art and design, as well as a functioning green space for people in the neighborhood to enjoy,” says Eldon Scott, President of Urban Space.
Urban Space aims to support the growth of Brooklyn’s best creative entrepreneurs by offering them an
affordable retail alternative to a traditional storefront—all in a unique and dynamic marketplace setting.
