Virginia native turned Brooklynite, Howard Walfish started Brooklyn Vegetarian as a place to highlight the wide array of good vegetarian food in Brooklyn. He highlights restaurants with awesome vegetarian options, shares delicious recipes, and reviews food events. In his words: “as long as it’s vegetarian and in Brooklyn, it’s fair game.” Keep an eye out for his Vegetarian Offal posts (where he examines food scraps and cut-offs that might otherwise be thrown away, such as scallion roots and shiitake stems – so cool!).
We asked Howard what he’s planning on learning in 2015. Here are the subjects he’s following this year:
|
PHOTOGRAPHYWhy he’s following: “I’m always looking for ways to improve my photo skills, especially for the blog.” |
|
COMEDYWhy he’s following: “I’m a little obsessed with stand-up comedy, and a lot of the podcasts that have popped up from the stand-up community.” |
|
WINEWhy he’s following: “For years I’ve been meaning to learn more about wine, beyond the three or four varietals I know I like.” |
|
WRITINGWhy he’s following: “Just like I said with Photography, if there’s anything I can learn to improve my skills I’ll take the opportunity.” |
|
WEB DESIGNWhy he’s following: “It would be nice not to have to rely on others for the tech and design aspects of the blog.” |
AND WHEN WE ASKED WHAT HE’LL TAKE FIRST?
“Travel Writing Intensive, I’m working on a big project involving travel.”
