Back Forty New York City

Why It's Good:

Another restaurant from Savoy's Peter Hoffman, this casual, tavern in New York City's East Village is one of food journalist Michael Pollan's favorite spots for a grass-fed hamburger.

Why It's Green:

Hoffman's name has become synonymous with the chefs' movement to buy, prepare and serve locally grown, seasonal food. Hamburgers are made from grass-fed beef and served with homemade ketchup and slices of Roma tomato. Fries are unpeeled russets sprinkled with fresh rosemary and salt. Back Forty uses aged white cheddar from Vermont to top its burgers and bacon cured and smoked in house. Even the beverages are locally sourced, with house wines made and bottled specifically for the restaurant offered by the glass, carafe and bottle. A small, seasonal market attached to the restaurant also sells raw farm ingredients and prepared foods from the menu.
