Table at the street fair
On Sunday, a city block in the middle of a larger street fair on Madison Avenue was host to a mini festival celebrating Jewish food and culture. The Workmen’s Circle sponsored the event, which was put together by Noah Arenstein of Scharf & Zoyer. There were stalls with food stuffs inspired by traditional Jewish tastes – some classic, some a bit more modern. Folks crowded the stand selling handmade Egg Creams and picked up bialys and babka to take away with them.
A stage set up in the middle of the block featured a number of bands with singers belting out tunes and keeping the crowd entertained while they noshed on the different treats available. This gave the whole event a festive and small town-like vibe right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. I spoke to Noah, who said that there might even be another of these gatherings in the works for later on this year, so if you missed out on this one, keep a lookout for another installment.
Buon appetito!
