Gather Around the Fire for Some Historic Cooking at Two Brooklyn Farmhouses

It’s hard to think of a more history-filled atmosphere for imbibing food and drink than at a centuries-old farmhouse. Two of Brooklyn’s historic sites, Lott House and Wyckoff House, will be providing that ambiance next month.

The farmhouses are joining forces for “Fireside Feasts: Flatlands Edition,” featuring hearth cooking inspired by historic recipes and the cuisine of the contemporary immigrant communities of their neighborhoods. There will be a unique meal prepared at each site along with history-based cocktails to sample. In addition to the nibbles and drinks enjoyed fireside, there will be peeks inside the houses, history chats, lawn games and more.

The Lott House event takes place on Thursday, June 6 at 6:30 p.m. at 1940 East 36th Street. Head to Wyckoff House, at 5816 Clarendon Road, for the second meal on Thursday, June 20 also at 6:30 p.m.

Advanced tickets are $20 for each event, with a limited number of discounted tickets available if you want to go to both events. Attendees must be 21 or older. For more information visit the event page here.
