Join us for a curatorial tour of Street Food City at the Museum of Food and Drink. Street Food City celebrates the city’s smallest food businesses, revealing the hidden world behind the iconic NYC food cart, recognizing the ways in which street food vendors and the foods they sold have shaped the city’s foodways, and tracing the challenges faced by street food entrepreneurs of the past to today’s fight for vendor rights. Visitation includes a few street food inspired snacks (pretzel bites, honey roasted peanuts, halvah).
