Join for Lower East Side History Month at Essex Market as they explore the origins and history of New York City's most historic public market. This talk traces the evolution of food vending in the Lower East Side, and how it has reflected this vital, ever changing New York City neighborhood, and will consider how the values once embodied by Public Markets may well be worth revisiting today. After the talk, you'll have the opportunity to sample market fare and street foods from 19th century New York, as interpreted by Essex Market vendors! Two Centuries of Essex Market Details & RSVP
