Featuring a long list of local purveyors displayed prominently on its Web site and a seasonal menu, Flatbush Farm wears its ties to sustainable agriculture proudly on its sleeve. Meat and produce are sourced from New York state up through Vermont from farms that specialize in antibiotic- and hormone-free product. Even its list of tap beers (the bar's motto "Nunc est bibendum" is Latin for "Now is the time to drink") pull from nearby breweries. The bottled/canned list and the considerable wine list feature a more far-flung cast of characters, from the American West Coast through Europe all the way to Japan.

Brgr - Chelsea
The narrative of sustainable eating tends to revolve around granola politics, long cook times and casually paced meals. The phrases "hormone-free", "free range", and "grass-fed" are not part of the vocabulary of fast food outside of a Chipotle burrito. The Brgr string of restaurants seeks to change the dialog of quick eats to include food that is responsibly sourced, sustainably farmed and tastily flavored, without requiring an intense commitment of time.
