This week on After the Jump, Grace Bonney chats with Jason Goodman, Executive Director/Co-Founder of 3rd Ward, a multi-disciplinary workspace and education center in Brooklyn, NY. Find out what drove Jason to create a place where you can experiment, practice and polish your craft and creativity and how his artistic background helped drive his vision. Hear what makes Brooklyn such unique place and the perfect setting for a DIY space like 3rd Ward. This program was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.

"Brooklyn is not really about one thing. There are fashion designers, photographers, furniture makers, hackers, and more. That big mixture of people who share a similar DIY ethos makes 3rd Ward successful and Brooklyn very interesting."

"We're entering an age where lots of programing is considered basic literacy."

--Jason Goodman, Executive Director/Co-Founder of 3rd Ward on After the Jump

On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, we go Dutch with Yvette Van Boven, an artist/illustrator who owns the cafe and catering service, Aan De Amstel, in Amsterdam, and produces the playful Home Made cookbooks. Yvette’s here to dispel any idea that the Netherlands are nothing more than herring and Heineken. Get ready for some bitterballen and Beerenburg! Thanks to our sponsor, Fairway Market, and thanks to Cookies for THE FOOD SEEN theme music.

"We keep a small menu (at Aan De Amstel) because we don't want to have a lot of waste, and we also want to be able to change the menu whenever we want to." [19:45]

"I never imagined these cookbooks to be as big of an adventure as they have been- I just made them for me." [21:25]
