Recorded: December 1, 2022
Marilyn Kushner, curator and head of the Department of Prints, Photographs, and Architectural Collections, and Ted Merwin, Ph.D., author of Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli and exhibition consultant, discuss our exhibition, “I’ll Have What She’s Having:” The Jewish Deli.
Explore how Jewish immigrants imported and adapted traditions to make a home in a new country and create a uniquely American take-out store and restaurant. The exhibition includes an array of neon signs, menus, advertisements, uniforms, and other memorabilia through which we can learn about the history of the food of immigration, the stories of Holocaust survivors who worked in delis, the connection between delis and Broadway, and much more. Tune in to learn more about the exhibition and ask questions!
