Honey's, located in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, makes small-batch meads and sells them around the five boroughs. They source their grapes, sumac, juniper, and dandelion from the Hudson Valley and get honey from bees in the Fingerlakes region. They host community events, like ones held with food writer and Williams College professor Darra Goldstein to celebrate the release of her book Beyond the North Wind and the 25th anniversary of The Georgian Feast.
Honey's had planned another event with Goldstein called "Russia, Ukraine, and Food" for this past Sunday, replete with zakuski—hors d'oeuvres—and kvass—a fermented drink frequently made out of rye. That's when the cancelers came for them.
