About Chef JJ Johnson
JJ Johnson is a James Beard Award-winning chef, TV Personality and Author best known for his barrier-breaking cuisine informed by the Caribbean flavors of his upbringing. He has been featured on multiple television shows, and has his television show called 'Just Eats with Chef JJ' on CLEO TV. Chef JJ's cookbook with Danica Novgorodof, "The Simple Art of Rice: Recipes from Around the World for the Heart of Your Table," was released September 2023 and awarded as one of NYT Best Cookbooks in 2023. Chef JJ's signature cooking style combines culturally relevant ingredients and classical technique with a global point of view. At FIELDTRIP, his made-to-order rice bowl shop that debuted in 2019, Chef JJ highlights rice as a hero ingredient and showcases it in recipes sourced from around the world. As one of the only fast-casual restaurants on Esquire's "America's Best New Restaurants" list in 2020, FIELDTRIP utilizes sustainable ingredients and ethically sourced vegetables and proteins, creating a flavorful and diverse dining experience. The brand's motto, "Rice is Culture," was born out of Chef JJ's belief that rice is the universal ingredient that connects us all and can be found at the center of the table in almost every community.

About BETWEEN HARLEM & HEAVEN
In two of the most renowned and historic venues in Harlem, Alexander Smalls and JJ Johnson created a unique take on the Afro-Asian-American flavor profile. Their foundation was a collective three decades of traveling the African diaspora, meeting and eating with chefs of color, and researching the wide reach of a truly global cuisine; their inspiration was how African, Asian, and African-American influences criss-crossed cuisines all around the world. They present here for the first time over 100 recipes that go beyond just one place, taking you, as noted by The New Yorker, "somewhere between Harlem and heaven."

About THE SIMPLE ART OF RICE
The Simple Art of Rice is a celebration of rice and the many cultures in which this life-giving grain takes pride of place at the center of every table. The recipes are influenced by these global flavors from Asia to Europe, Africa to the Americas, and feature many of the world's favorite dishes. With Danica Novgorodoff, Chef JJ takes readers on an informative and exciting culinary adventure that will help anyone master the art of cooking rice.

About the Venue
We started with a vision make golf for everyone by delivering a dynamic, entertaining, and inclusive way to experience golf. Five Iron has quickly re-shaped urban golf culture by putting a modern spin on an old classic. We began our story in 2017 from humble beginnings with one location on Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District, the origin of our name (created by taking the "Five" from Fifth Avenue and the "Iron" from the Flatiron District.)

Fast forward to present day, Five Iron Golf has expanded nationwide across ten major U.S. cities and over 20 locations and counting, with international franchise locations in Singapore and India.

Helping the masses to get their swing on, the 5i way is about access to play, practice and party, inclusivity to bring out the golfer in everyone and unforgettable experiences.

For the serious golfer, Five Iron hosts high-tech Trackman simulators, access to teaching professionals, practice time, leagues, club storage, showers, top-of-the-line clubs that are free to use during your booking, and in-house club fitting services.

For the less-than-serious golfer (and let's be honest, most of the serious golfers too), Five Iron offers flexible event spaces, a full-service bar, locally-crafted food menus, table games like ping pong and shuffleboard, and widescreen TVs perfect for watching your favorite game.

Slow your roll and up your game with Five Iron Golf.

About the Pouches

Choose three (3) pouches of frozen dumplings and sauces for pick-up from their Nolita location!

Goldbelly isn't the only one who loves them; Nom Wah has been featured in Bon Appetit, the New York Times, Eater, Infatuation, Vice, and Thrillist. Zagat declared Nom Wah "Real deal dim sum", Gothamist insists "nowhere else has that vintage NYC flavor," and Conde Nast Traveller said the food is simply "addictive."

About the Restaurant

Nom Wah's first location was not always about dim sum. The original restaurant opened as a tea parlor and bakery in 1920 at 13-15 Doyers St. Located in what was nicknamed the "Bloody Angle". The nickname stems from street's sharp corner and warring gangs who took advantage of this.

Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, Nom Wah Tea Parlor was first and foremost a bakery. Serving dim sum was a secondary priority. The most beloved specialty were the mooncakes, which caused lines to lead out the door.

Several years after Wilson Tang took over the restaurant from his uncle, Wally, he looked to expand the Nom Wah brand. In March 2015, Nom Wah opened its Philadelphia location at the edge of the city's Chinatown. The menu has some differences: riffs on Chinese-American classics and rotating Cantonese favorites.

Following this initial expansion, Nom Wah opened its first fast-casual dining spot in 2016: Nom Wah Nolita. The second-generation approach at the Nolita shop has also paved the way for the brand's next chapter in frozen dumplings, now available nationwide via Goldbelly.
