I think New York is truly unique in its singular combination of the quality of both the talent it attracts and the ingredients it grows.

H. Schwarzenbach is a very traditional place. The store opened in the late 1800s, importing specialty items from all over the world. It was curated before we even used that word. Daniel Humm 1800scurateimport Change image and share on social
New York's food scene is truly unique because it is this wonderful melting pot where immigrants from all over the world have brought with them their cuisines and their ingredients. Daniel Humm bringcuisinefood Change image and share on social
