EAT in Greenpoint

The Slow Food movement is centered around ensuring the quality, authenticity, and sustainability of the food on the modern dinner table. The organization offers food and beverage producers who meet the stringent requirements for clean, ethical, and fair agricultural and business practices an award called the "snail of approval." The New York City chapter has an extensive directory of all businesses holding such distinction, which I've been going through and finding restaurants to go to. One of which is the restaurant called EAT, in Greenpoint. It's a small place on Meserole Ave which is wholeheartedly committed to selling only sustainable, local produce, preparing food for a menu that changes daily depending on what they have in the kitchen. EAT has a great relationship with Rooftop Farms, the massive agricultural project on the roof of a warehouse in Greenpoint. The restaurant's furnishings are made by the brother of the guy who owns the place, it's got a wonderfully homey feel. I think this sort of restaurant can become too hip for it's own good, but EAT seems to have its head on straight and offers a small but delicious choice of food at a fair price.
