Join our Culture Conversation with Mark Russ Federman about Food, the Family Business, and New York City

Join David Morrow for a "chew and a chat" with Mark Russ Federman, author of Russ & Daughters: The House That Herring Built, which made the NY Times extended best-seller list. Mark is NGS Executive Director Matt Menashes's first cousin once removed; Matt will join David and Mark for the event.

The conversation will explore the "Jewish food" experience in New York City, starting with Joel Russ, a Polish-Jewish immigrant selling pickled herring from a pushcart on the Lower East Side to the ubiquity of bagels in modern America. The conversation will cover New York City life, family business, and generational change over 100 years, with fun and a lesson on lox.

Mark's passion for food and family history, and the Russ family's connection to the immigrant experience in New York make for a memorable conversation, incredible stories, and a chance to learn more about the food and culture that add so much to the American experience.
