Rosh Hashanah is right around the corner, which means Jewish people around the world will soon gather around dinner tables to dunk apples into bee-spawned ambrosia. That is to say: honey! To ring in a sweet Jewish New Year with a New York twist, we visited NYC Honey Day at the High Line to sample some locally-farmed honeys from around the five boroughs. Click through on the photos for details on some of the sweetest local honey around.
In case you missed it, don't fret—you can indulge on all these saccharine selections and more at this Saturday's NYC Honey Festival on the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk.
