Potluck Dinner, Triangle Fire Remembrance, & Trivia w/Atlas Obscura
A memory-filled week in the CR garden.
Don't miss these three fantastic upcoming events on memory. This Friday we explore the nostalgic power of food at a [potluck with Beyond Bubbie](http://cityreliquary.org/bbpotluck). Next Friday, May 5, [Rebel Women remember the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire](http://cityreliquary.org/rebelwomen). On Saturday morning, May 6, flex your memory muscles with NYC trivia at our [kickoff party for Obscura Day 2017](http://www.cityreliquary.org/obscuraday17/).
Details below!
Celebrate the rich, diverse narratives of New York City food culture through tales of your grandmother’s casseroles, your favorite bodega bacon-egg-and-cheese, or your go-to dim sum spot. Marinate in stories from neighbors spanning boroughs and generations while noshing on dishes from kitchens in all corners of the city.
Potluck participants should bring a food that evokes a memory. All guests are invited to bring a prop, poem, or song--something non-edible to facilitate sharing a story with the group.
This event is part of the public programs for the current Reliquary exhibition [*Heroes of the Knish*](http://cityreliquary.org/knishheroes). This show explores the intersections of memory, food culture, and the immigrant history of New York City.
