City Walk | Lower East Side Food Tour


Where can you find a historic Synagogue next to a storefront Buddhist Temple, trendy boutiques that sit comfortably beside decades-old "Mom and Pop" shops, or tenament apartments interspersed between luxury high rise condos? Look no further than the Lower East Side to discover America's great Melting Pot. Once an insular slum with the one of the world's highest population densities and lowest life expectancies, its streets tell the tales of immigrant struggles and rags to riches stories. Known for a time as Kleindeutschland (Little Germany), this neighboorhood was also the Jewish ward, home today to a mix of foreign-born Latinos and Asians as well as students and hipsters. The result is one of New York City's most dynamic and interesting neighborhoods and a food lover's paradise.

Author Reading | Joshua Henkin reads from his book The World Without You


The presentation features a discussion about this award winning novel. It's July 4th, 2005, and the Frankel family is descending upon their beloved summer home in the Berkshires. But this is no ordinary holiday. The family has gathered to memorialize Leo, the youngest of the four siblings, an intrepid journalist and adventurer who was killed a year ago on assignment in Iraq. Set against the backdrop of Independence Day and the Iraq War, the novel is about sibling rivalries and marital feuds, about volatile women and silent men, and, ultimately, about the true meaning of family.

Opening Reception | Paintings: Maya Bloch's here you are


This is a series of portrait paintings that blur the representational and the abstract, while enacting a drama of violence and obscurity, anonymity and recognition. As the eyes' bold depiction in the portraits come into contrast with the collisions of color, the alternating play and sobriety of Bloch's vision is further amplified. The darkened spaces from which figures are conjured have the air of a cave, or an ill-lit, windowless interior and the paintings ooze a sense of the simultaneous obscurity and awareness of history in the very act of its staging. Here, the forms of unknown persons are rekindled like spirits onto canvases.
