The Story of New York Pickles

Do you love pickles? Are you more about the snap, the crunch? Or is it that glorious brine that makes you a fan? Well, if you ever wanted to learn more about these iconic cukes, then this chat is for you.

On April 15, the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) will dedicate an evening to the pickle with “The Story of New York Pickles.” The museum will host Monique Mulder and Paul van Ravestein to discuss their book The Pickled City: A Biography of New York Pickles. The book traces the history of the brined cucumber from ancient Mesopotamia to Eastern Europe and, eventually, to Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Post discussion, guests can enjoy a pickle tasting.

Tickets are $50 and include access to the MOFAD's current exhibition, "Street Food City." Reserve yours here.
