This Week At The Cortelyou Greenmarket
Apple Pie Bake-Off at the Cortelyou Greenmarket, 2011

“Our bakers are rolling up their sleeves,” says Cortelyou Greenmarket manager Tali Biale, “and dusting off their rolling pins to show us what they’re made of (I’m guessing apples, butter, flour, etc).

“There will be a popular vote as well as a professional panel of chefs and Greenmarket senior staff,” Tali says. Tastings and voting will begin at 11:30am.
