Once again, plans are afoot to create a Slow Food chapter here in Syracuse and the first meeting to get organized is tonight. Everyone interested in learning about Slow Food and the possibilities of forming a convivium here in Syracuse should come to Second Story Books at 5:00 pm at 550 Westcott Street.
Paul Mercurio is leading this effort and has also set up a blog where you can keep track of Slow Food developments here in Syracuse. Check it out here.
This is just one more sign of the interest and momentum that issues of eating locally and sustainably have garnered in our area. The work of the Central Leatherstocking Convivium based in Hamilton gives me great hope about what may be possible here. To read some of their past activities, click on the Slow Food category on the right and to learn more about Slow Food in general, check out their website.
I'm sorry that I missed this, but am grateful for the link to the blog. I can already see that he's talking about things that I want to know more about.
