Picnic time, CN style

Source: The Strong Buzz

Enjoy the finest cuisine and the best out door dining all summer long. Its PICNIC time hermanas.

Not to be too much of a gourmand, but a shriveled, charred hot dog and some warm soda in Riverside Park no longer matches my lifestyle. My tastes now run away from Oscar Meyer and toward Saul Zabar. Well lucky for us, Zabar's has the perfect picnic solution with a true New York twist….a take-out picnic basket. Our favorite foodie, Andrea Strong, sings the praises of this summer time offering. Pair a Zabar picnic basket with your favorite wine - if it’s a white make sure to pack it in a cooler - and head to the Great Lawn for a great summer meal.
