By substituting peas for corn, PeaTos adds 2x the protein and 3x the fiber for a more satisfying plant-based snack that helps keep you fuller, longer and ditches the GMO and artificial ingredients, additives and colors.

Inside The LongHouse Talks with Bjorn Amelan, Lee Skolnick, Alexander Polzin
Conversations with artists and thinkers have a long history at LongHouse Reserve – its founder Jack Lenor Larsen was a great conversationalist -- and a new series entitled LongHouse Talks continues this tradition. Over the 2022 season, Director Carrie Rebora Barratt leads conversations with artists, architects, designers, dancers, musicians and other thought partners in living with art in all of its forms.
Artist Bjorn Amelan discussed his sumi ink pictograph pictures which hung like tapestries in the LongHouse Pavilion, some of which were painted at LongHouse. As Creative Director of New York Live Arts, Bjorn's shapes often reference bodies in motion, suggestive of archaic writing, seemingly both real and symbolic. His partner, Bill T. Jones, pointed out how “Bjorn’s pictographs are so often phallic” and joined in a lively q + a.
German sculptor Alexander Polzin presented a chamber concert as well as a discussion of his sculpture Parthenope, an enigmatic bronze tree trunk with a secret gold-plated interior, an homage to the siren, on loan to LongHouse for the next two years. Well known in Europe as a director and designer of major opera productions, he presented the chamber concert as part of his program featuring the American quartet, Hammermusik, who premiered new music by Greek composer Konstantia Gourzi, who flew in especially for the occasion.
Still to come this season are Talks with Michele Oka Doner on July 9, Glenn Adamson on July 10, Cheng Tsung Feng on July 13, Moko Fukuyama, Edwina von Gal, Marren Hassinger, Fitzhugh Karol, and Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner on August 5. Macari Vineyards is the presenting sponsor for LongHouse Talks. Tickets are available at www.longhouse.org.

Wraxly Home & Garden has a premium product that is sure to excite and elevate the backyard decor for discerning gardeners. Looking for a fun and stylish way to garden? Look no further than Wraxly fabric grow bags! Fabric grow bags are becoming more popular each year. They got tired of seeing only black grow bags so they came out with a colorful two-tone design. In their product testing, they discovered the reason most grow bags are black is because the black fabric will hide the inevitable stains that will appear when your growing container is a porous fabric. They solved this problem by adding a waterproof liner that protects the colorful fabric, while the black lower portion of the bag allows water to drain like a regular grow bag.

Witkoff and Apollo have officially broken ground on The Brook, featuring luxury rentals and transformative retail space in Downtown Brooklyn. With architecture by Beyer Blinder Belle and interiors by Bonetti Kozerski, the approximately 600 foot-tall tower will have 591 rental apartments with 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, and nearly 30,000 square feet of ground floor retail space and 12,000 of cellar retail space in the popular Albee Square area of Downtown Brooklyn.
Attending the groundbreaking were executives from Witkoff, Apollo, Suffolk Construction, and Beyer Blinder Belle architects, as well as Regina Myer, President of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership.
“The groundbreaking of The Brook is another milestone in the continued evolution of Downtown Brooklyn, bringing more high-end retail to the streetscape and new residences in this sought-after location,” said Scott Alper, President & Chief Investment Officer of Witkoff. “We are honored to spearhead this monumental development in Downtown Brooklyn.”

“The Brook is going to be a great addition to Downtown Brooklyn’s Flatbush Avenue - one of the grand entrances to the borough,” said Regina Myer, President of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. “Downtown Brooklyn is becoming one of the best places to live, and 600 units right at the crossroads of the neighborhood will be transformative.”
The Brook and its retail spaces, including the prominent wraparound corner space at 555 Fulton Street, marketed by GoodSpaceNYC, will continue to add value to the neighborhood. The developers are working in partnership with the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership and Brooklyn-based architecture and design firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), to support their vision plan and new roadmap to transform Downtown Brooklyn by reclaiming its streets for greater pedestrian use and creating attractive, accessible public spaces, raising the bar for retail tenants.
