More than forty pickled purveyors will be on hand for the tenth annual New York City International Pickle Day, including Pickle Guys, Zum Schneider, Russ and Daughters, McClure’s Pickles, Mother-in-Law’s Kimchi, Brooklyn Brine, Guss’ Pickles, Pickleña, Saxelby Cheesemongers, Kalustyan, Mama O’s Kimchi, La Barra Cevicheria, and Ronnie Sue’s Chocolates. A joint venture of the Lower East side Business Improvement District, the NY Food Museum — which dates pickling back to the ancient Mesopotamians more than four thousand years ago — and Grow NYC, the pickle-icious day will also feature a food and arts program curated by Umami. There should be plenty of free tastings, including some items you’d be surprised can be pickled.
