The Lower East Side Tenement Museum will be hosting a series of interesting Tenement Talks over the course of the next ten days, beginning Tuesday night with “Free Lunch,” a tasting and tour with Jane Ziegelman and representatives of Edible Brooklyn and Brooklyn Brewery, looking back at the nineteenth-century staple of free food when you buy a beer. This twenty-first-century “free lunch” will cost you $25. On Wednesday, Paul Goldberger will discuss “Why Architecture Matters” with Kristen Richards, upon the release of the paperback edition of his book. On April 5, Joan Silber will host a panel on “Immigrant Daughters on Family & Literature,” with Myra Goldberg, Joanna Clapps Herman, and Kathleen Hill talking about classic books that influenced their work and life. And on April 7, Jane Ziegelman and James Beard Foundation vice president Mitchell Davis will lead ticket holders on the tour “97 Orchard: An Edible History” ($25).
