A renowned food historian and author of 97 Orchard Street: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families, Jane Ziegelman will be joined in conversation by Tenement Museum's Collections Manager, Lana Dubin. Together, they will explore the culinary life of the residents of 97 Orchard Street, one of the historic tenement buildings of the Tenement Museum. Jane will take viewers on a tour, from impossibly cramped tenement apartments, down dimly lit stairwells, beyond the front stoops where housewives congregated, and out into the hubbub of the dirty, teeming streets. Learn how immigrant cooks brought their ingenuity to the daily task of feeding their families, preserving traditions from home but always ready to improvise. Please note: the event can be watched on the day and time specified in the listing, not before.
