The Museum at Eldridge Street is kicking off Egg Rolls, Egg Creams, and Empanadas Festival in a discussion about foodways, ethnicity, and the cultural symbolism of foods in the Lower East Side. Foodways folklorist Lucy Long will lead a conversation with New York City establishments, Nom Wah Tea Parlor, Russ and Daughters, and Casa Adela, about the legacy and impacts of their restaurants on New York City’s cultural and culinary landscape. The program will be followed by an empanadas demo with Dominican Cravings of Essex Market and Maria Bido from The Loisaida Center.

This program will take place virtually over Zoom. You will receive a link a day before the date of the program.
