Sweet & Sour: Chinese Food and Immigrant Identity- Wednesday November 7th

@MuseumofCityNY

6:30-8:30pm
Museum of the City Of New York
220 Fifth Avenue

What is the role of cooking and cuisine in the making of Chinese-American culture and identity?

Inspired by our exhibition, Interior Lives: Contemporary Photographs of Chinese New Yorkers, Jack Tchen, co-founder of the Museum of Chinese in America, moderates a conversation with leading restaurateurs: Lien Lin, owner and executive chef of Brooklyn’s Bricolage NYC; Wilson Tang, owner of the famed Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Manhattan’s Chinatown that dates back to 1920; and Jason Wang, CEO of Xi’an Famous Foods, now a chain of 13 restaurants originally founded by Wang’s father as a food stall in the Golden Mall in Flushing, Queens.

Try a sample dumpling from Nom Wah Tea Parlor and summer roll from Bricolage at the program, included with ticket!

This program accompanies our exhibition Interior Lives: Contemporary Photographs of Chinese New Yorkers (opens October 26, 2018).

Tickets: $20 & up | $15 for Museum Members
