His opinion pieces have been published in the New York Times , Edible Manhattan, and Food & Wine. Hoffman served on the boards of the Greenmarket and Chefs Collaborative and received the Slow Food NYC Snailblazer Award. On most market days he can be found on his bicycle, foraging the Union Square Greenmarket for the best in seasonal ingredients and partaking in its “village green” community life.
