On my last visit to New York City, I picked up a copy of “Edible Brooklyn,” a seasonally published magazine dedicated to the local goings-on in the food community in and around Brooklyn.

The issue mentioned several area restaurants, reviewed food-related books, suggested culinary-themed side trips outside of Brooklyn, indulged me with recipes from locals and recommended indigenous food products (i.e. ricotta, homemade by a couple in their Boerum Hill apartment kitchen).

As I thumbed through the last pages of the magazine, I realized that this magazine is a template for a version of itself in several other cities—Atlanta, San Francisco, Memphis, Toronto, and Boston, to name just a few. So if you like the magazine, you can subscribe to you favorite cities’ publications. And what is even cooler than that is you can start your own (New Orleans—hint, hint!). All you need to do is send Edible Communities an email to let them know you are interested in starting a magazine about your area. From that point on, they will lead you through the process…
