Glad you found me! I'm Myra Alperson, founder of NoshNews and NoshWalks.

NoshNews is a newsletter, available in print and PDF format, that profiles the best, most interesting and most fun markets, bakeries and eateries in ethnic neighborhoods in New York City.

Each issue also features history, cultural highlights, detailed maps, recipes and walking tours. Tips on parks and picnic spots, plus directions by mass transit and car, are also included. A back page section, NoshNotes, describes new discoveries by readers (and me), along with NoshNews updates. NoshNews appears three or four times a year. You can also purchase my book. Nosh New York: The Food Lover’s Guide to New York City’s Most Delicious Neighborhoods, published by St. Martin’s Press!

NoshNews made its debut in February 1999 by bringing readers to Sunnyside, Queens, a neighborhood where Asian, East European, Irish, Latin American and Middle Eastern places operate side-by-side. I’ve published 19 issues since then, listed below. You can get details on their content by clicking Back Issues.

Current Issue Mor Thiane, Senegalese owner of Keur Mame Diallo restaurant Issue #20 — Summer 2007 Slices of Uptown  (Special FREE Issue. CLICK HERE to download) Although I covered central Harlem in Issue #3 (in 1999), this issues examines an area further west: the famous boulevards known as 6th, 7th and 8th Avenues south of Central Park, but have the more celebratory names of Malcolm X Boulevard, Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard and Frederick Douglass Boulevard north of the Park. Along these avenues and side streets, new buildings and up-market rehabs have risen steadily during the last decade, bringing along generic retail—banks and drug stores—and also some great new eateries. My hope here is to identify wonderful places that signify the best of Harlem and that I hope will continue to represent it as Harlem evolves. Become a subscriber and receive this issue and more!
