In New York, it’s not just the people who evolve: our restaurants, too, are ever changing, especially when looking at a multi-century timeline.
Native New Yorker Victoria Flexner, co-founder of the Brooklyn-based “historical supper club,” research lab and test kitchen Edible History, is giving a Brooklyn Brainery lecture on the history of New York’s restaurants from the early 19th century on.
A self-proclaimed medieval- and food-history nerd, Flexner will discuss how immigration, gender and housing have all contributed to the evolution of New York’s key cultural space: the restaurant.
The event will take place from 8:30-9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 16 at Brooklyn Brainery’s Prospect Heights headquarters at 160 Underhill Avenue. Tickets cost $7 and are available online.
