Join us as we bid farewell to our exhibition *Heroes of the Knish: Making a Living and Making a Life*. This show traced the history of the iconic New York street food from its origins in Eastern Europe to its arrival in the US with Jewish immigrants, to its popularization through early knish makers such as Mrs. Stahl, Mano Hirsch, Ruby the Knishman, and Yonah Schimmel.
We'll celebrate and send off the knish in style with live music from All That Jazz and a curator's talk from Laura Silver.
We'll also serve an international spread of knishes and knish cousins, such as dumplings from [Vanessa's](http://vanessas.com/), pierogi, and more! (Suggested donation: $2/item.)
