Well, with 2.5 million people in Brooklyn, let's hope not!
But, the New York borough is now the epicenter for a hip food scene, with rooftop gardens and craft cocktails among other things -- and of course most national media is New York-centric, so that's where they look first.
So when Bon Appetit's blog has an article titled "Why Altadena, California is the New Epicure's Epicenter," and compares Altadena to Brooklyn, it's worth noting, because they've just discovered that Altadena is the new locavore destination.
They mention the usual suspects: Gloria Putnam and Steve Rudicel at the Zane Grey Estate; and Joseph Shuldiner of the Institute for Domestic Technology and the Altadena Farmer's Market. There are also some hip pictures of some of the market's fare. Left unmentioned or barely touched-on is RIPE-Altadena, the Arroyo Food Co-op, and other experiments such as the Altadena Underground Market and Eatwell Market.
So when do the real scenesters start moving in and our property values start going up?
What do you think about Altadena's new hipster cachet?
