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).

The food scene in Israel—some early observations
Wandering around in the Rehavia neighborhood in Jerusalem, I saw a local park with a just-starting composting program.
Down the street from the official residence of the Prime Minister (that would be Benjamin Netanyahu), is the headquarters of the International Jewish Vegetarian Society.
I’m surprised at how little food advertising I’m seeing. This restaurant overlooking the crater at Mitzpe Ramon is an example that seems typical. Nestlé (no relation) ice cream bars are everywhere.
Coca-Cola is everywhere too, but this venerable truck is the only one I’ve seen. This one was in Tel Aviv.
