Marcus Samuelsson supports Harvest Home & farmers markets in Harlem

Savor the Season Uptown! with Chef Marcus Samuelsson

Marcus Samuelsson and Nils Noren joined Executive Director Maritza Owens in hosting Savor the Season Uptown! The event benefits the not-for-profit organization that has created a network of farmers markets throughout New York City in underserved neighborhoods.

 

Also important, the event showed that Harlem has a “real” food scene with many restaurants that are affordable and source from local farmers in NYS and in the region. A great reason to support Harlem restaurants.
