SAVORY SOJOURNS

My friend Addie Tomei (yes, as in Marisa’s mother) is the creator of this unique company that hosts food tours throughout Manhattan and New York’s other boroughs. You can choose from over 15 different tours, ranging from Chinatown to Hell’s Kitchen. You can also work with Savory Sojourns to create your own itinerary. Addie’s tours expose you to all the notable food facts and places of a neighborhood and include fascinating history lessons and tastings. Most tours include lunch.

Zarela Martínez is the owner of two restaurants in Manhattan, Zarela (953 Second Ave., near 50th St.; 212-644-6740) and Danzón (126 E. 28th St., near Lexington Ave.; 212-252-1345). She is the host of “Zarela! La Cocina Veracruzana,” a PBS cooking program shown in metro New York on Channel 21. And she is the author of several Mexican cookbooks. The latest is Zarela’s Veracruz), and it was preceded by Food From My Heart, and Oaxaca. She created her website so she may share ideas on modern and traditional Mexican foods and customs. From the website’s flamboyant colors emerges real substance. Included are Zarela’s favorite restaurants, a forum for asking questions, and even a good selection of Zarela’s recipes, not to mention Zarela’s catering menu and other information about her businesses.
