Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. It’s synonymous with Christmas and this year even more so. That’s because in a corner of Bryant Park, just off 6th Avenue and 42nd Street, you will find a small stand serving roasted chestnuts and other goodies made with them.
It is operated by The American Chestnut Foundation which is striving to revive American chestnut trees. Once thriving from Georgia to New England, the trees have been decimated by blight. Purchasing a bag of these small, yet flavorful chestnuts, is one way of helping to ensure their survival in the years to come.
