Food for Thought: On Immigration and Sandwiches

Join us to kick off our Food for Thought project! This community exhibit and event series will explore how food is intertwined with the rhythms of our daily lives: preparing, eating, sharing, gathering, remembering; from folklore to religious ceremonies to cultural customs.

For this event, we'll read author Pooja Makhijani's essay "On Immigration and Sandwiches: The Story of One Beloved Restaurant, One Central New Jersey Suburb, and One Child of Immigrants" then come together for a discussion over sandwiches from Tastee Sub Shop.

A variety of sandwiches, including vegetarian options, will be available.
