An Inside Look at Food52’s New HQ

Dear Food52ers,

After seven years crammed into a rabbit warren of offices in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, we moved our headquarters to the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring. Working with our good friends Brad Sherman and Nina Etnier at Float Studio, who have designed all of our previous offices, we set out to create a space that focused on our core team and community needs: gathering, creating, and entertaining. It took us three years (and heroic project management by our office operations director Karen Levi!) to build out a slew of test kitchens, studios, and work and huddle spaces that are both deeply functional and welcoming—a place that feels like home.

9 Fall Cookware Favorites That Bring the Modern Farmhouse Look Home

As we discussed last week, there are many ways to set a farmhouse-inspired dinner table. Whether you lean traditional or modern, the underlying feel of the design aesthetic tends to encapsulate a simple, chic, and cozy feel.

Typically, the modern farmhouse style is a combination of traditional farmhouse characteristics—brass accents, exposed woods, and antique pieces—with more modern touches, like glossy finishes, darker industrial metals, and soft, clean lines. From there, you can have even more fun by adding intentional pops of color, textures, or patterns—even with your cookware.
