Given the conspicuous absence of farmers in New York City, the decision to stage a Farm Aid benefit here may seem surprising. But when one considers the booming popularity of Greenmarkets throughout the city, the metropolitan locale makes a certain sense. This year’s Farm Aid will feature an abundance of organic food on sale from local farms, so health-conscious New Yorkers are sure to feel right at home. And for one week starting today, top city restaurants like Angelica Kitchen and Gramercy Tavern will offer family farm meals using sustainable, humane farming practices. The all-day event takes place this Sunday on Randall's Island; the line-up boasts Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Dave Matthews, and many more. (Buy tickets here.)

Living in New York, it's easy for our gourmet desires to take us on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Indulgence and gluttony seem to be the Big Apple norm - from hamburgers stuffed with short ribs and foie gras, to chocolate tarts served alongside pink peppercorn ice cream and red wine sauce. But sometimes your stomach needs a rest. That's when Gothamist turns to the healthier, organic options in town, trying to detox from our usual diet of fabulous fatty fare and calorie-laden cocktails.
