Welcome to the Munchies Garden

Excerpt:
We’re inviting some of our favorite chefs, bartenders, and personalities in the world of food and drink to come and treat our garden like their very own edible playground.
Well, we’ve done it. We’ve gone and planted our very own MUNCHIES garden.
And yes, it’s a rooftop garden, of course—one of those experiments in urban agriculture of which we’ve sung praises in the past. Ours just happens to be located at our dreamy new office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, overlooking the lapping blue waters of the East River.
It is here that we get our Ina Garten on. We don our clogs, we gather up armfuls of heirloom produce, and we wax warmly about how much our dear, dear friends will enjoy the feast we’re about to prepare them.
Well, not really.
But we, under the tutelage of Brooklyn Grange, are growing some deliciously strange vegetables—Chinese red noodle beans, West Indian gherkins that look like some kind of Medieval ball-torture device—along with your standard farmer’s market fare.
