Summer greenhouse tour

As part of my trip back to the East Coast, I visited a few commercial hydroponic greenhouses. One standout was Eli Zabar’s Vinegar Factory on East 91st Street - a bona fide rooftop urban farm. Eli grows delicious “Rooftop Tomatoes,” which his workers pick ripe and then bring downstairs to sell at his gourmet market. Brilliant. -MIKE



Here is an article about Eli and the history of Zabar’s epicurean empire.
