Speaking about Calvin Coolidge, Alice Roosevelt Longworth said, “He looks as though he’s been weaned on a pickle.” For many of us who were born and raised in New York, we’re not sure why that was an insult. And that’s why on Sunday you’re likely to find us at the annual Lower East Side Pickle Day, being held on Orchard St. between Houston and Delancey. Among those participating in the festivities, which include food, fashion, and family-friendly games and activities, are pickled purveyors Guss’ Pickles, Pioneer Cannery, Macdonald Farms, Pickle Me Pete, Backyard Brine, Grillo’s Pickles, Crisp & Co. Pickles, Fox Point Pickles, Messy Brine, the Pickle Guys, Rick’s Picks, Horman’s Pickles, Divine Brine, Adamah Farm, Rachel Mae Farmstand, Brooklyn Brine, Doctor Pickle, Pittsburgh Pickle Co., McClure’s Pickles, and Crooked Carrot Fermentory in addition to Melt Bakery, A Casa Fox, Osaka Grub, Saxelby Cheesemongers, sweet buttons desserts, Wassail, Ni Japanese Deli, the Meatball Shop, Puebla Mexican Food, the SKINny Bar & Lounge, Georgia’s BBQ, Cow & Clover, and Roni-Sue’s Chocolates. There will also be live music by Louie and Chan and a home pickling/dancing contest. Pickles have a long affiliation with the Lower East Side, and the annual Pickle Day only adds to that pickled history.
