Food in the City: Reinterpreting Recipes with Michael Lomonaco

Let's face it: life in the city can be difficult, but one of the things that makes it better is food! And we're not just talking about comfort food - there’s street food, farmers markets, fancy food, and the food you cook in your own kitchen (no matter how small!). In our new series, Food in the City, we'll explore all the many different ways that food makes us New Yorkers.

On our first installment, we’ll talk with chef Michael Lomonaco. He may have learned how to do brisket in Texas smokehouses, but now he cooks his brisket Brooklyn style! Everyone who cooks personalizes recipes in their own special way. We want your "New York" recipes! Share your recipes – from your New York – in the comments section below. They can be recipes you brought with you from somewhere else and adapted to your new home here in the city or just personal touches you’ve added to classic recipes over the years.

Underreported: Increasing Violence Against the Roma

On this week’s first Underreported, we look at why the economic downturn has resulted in an increase in violence against Europe’s Roma, particularly in Italy, where the government has passed more restrictive policies regarding the Roma. Joining us to describe the violence against Roma communities are Isabela Minalache, senior program manager for Roma Initiatives at the Open Society Institute, and James Goldston, an expert on Roma issues and the executive director of the Open Society Justice Initiative.

Underreported Update: White-Nose Syndrome

Bat populations across North America have been decimated by White-Nose Syndrome, caused by a relatively unknown fungus that grows on the bats' faces and noses. We last told you about the disease on Underreported in October, but now that the hibernation season for most North American bats is over, we thought get an update on how bats are faring this year. We’ll be joined by Mylea Bayless, a conservation biologist with Bat Conservation International.

A map showing the spread of White-Nose Syndrome is available here.
