trends & happenings Women-owned Food Businesses Bolster Manhattan's Economy New York City's foodservice industry saw a substantial boost from women-owned businesses from 2007 to 2012, growing 45 percent and adding 4,000 new food businesses in that time, according to a report from The Center for an Urban Future. In the upscale restaurant seg- ment, women own only 11 per- cent of establishments listed on Eater's "38 Essential New York Restaurants" list, yet many female chefs took top honors at this year's James Beard Awards, like Rising Star Chef of the Year Daniela Soto-Innes of NYC's Cosme. When it comes to cup- cake shops, they own 87 percent, and kitchen incubators support a large percentage of women- owned businesses, like Long Island City's The Entrepreneur Space, which housed 135 com- panies over the past four years, 76 percent of them founded by women.—D.S.
