Brooklyn Eats, the borough’s first Fancy Food-style trade show (if you are in the industry, you know what I mean) will take place on Wednesday, June 26th at 630 Flushing Avenue in the former Pfizer Building in East Williamsburg!
This free event supports Brooklyn’s food manufacturing businesses and helps to create a borough-wide network/community of food producers and artisans! This full day event will allow attendees to experience all the tastes of Brooklyn, meet the makers of these wonderful products and enjoy a variety of programming about food and its production in Brooklyn!
But heads up… this is definitely not a tasting event so don’t expect to show up and chow down on unlimited food, nope this is a great way to learn more about the products being made in our city and scope out some new favorite eats & treats!
Some of my favorites will be there, including The Jam Stand, Mama Rao’s, Fresh Ginger, Sfoglini Pasta Shop, Kelvin Natural Slush, Steve’s Authentic Key Lime, Saucy by Nature, Steve’s Ice Cream, Liddabit Sweets, King’s County Jerky, Acme Smoked Fish, Brooklyn Winery and more!

While checking out Instagram earlier this week I noticed a heavenly looking sandwich ready to be eaten by one of my favorite accounts, Immaculate Infatuation, accompanied by the following text….”Monday Italian sub delivery from @CoppaSandwiches, High quality #EatsAtTheDesk.” I immediately clicked on the link and found the source of this drool worthy meal….Coppa Sandwiches, an Italian sandwich shop based in NYC, they deliver classic Italian cold cut sandwich meals only on Mondays (for now).
For just ten dollars in downtown Manhattan (their delivery area is expanding), Coppa delivers a delicious sandwich (made with an italian baguette, prosciutto cotto, coppa, pepperoni and mortadella, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, vinaigrette and peppers), a bag of Cape Cod chips, Brooklyn Brine pickles, and an Italian soda of the day right to your door. It’s their version of the classic school lunch where they don’t allow any substitutions and only accept cash (and make sure to tip your delivery person).
Just follow the easy steps and soon enough you’ll be enjoying this great deal….
*Please note that they may sell out or you may be out of their delivery zone 
Thank you Immaculate Infatuation for posting the photo and introducing me to this great concept. You better believe that I’ll be ordering a Coppa Sandwich right at ten am this Monday!
