I’m speaking with Fabio Parasecoli about his new book, Gastronativism: Food, Identity, Politics, at the Museum of the City of New York at a session chaired by Krishnendu Ray at 6:30 pm. Information is here and the ticketing link is here. This is a preview of the museum’s forthcoming exhibit, Food in New York: Bigger Than the Plate (opening September 16) and is co-presented by MOFAD (Museum of Food and Drink).

To start the work week: “Caffeinated”
Murray Carpenter. Caffeinated: How Our Daily Habit Helps, Hurts, and Hooks Us. Hudson Street Press, 2014.
