The First Ever Meals and Spiels
Reliquary: a container of the relics of saints… and unicorns.
For those of you unfamiliar with The City Reliquary I urge you to take a stroll down Metropolitan and keep your eye open for a herd of Unicorns. Currently inhabiting the Reliquary’s store front is Amanda B. Friedman’s Unicorn Collection. The most endearing notion I have come across pertaining to these single horned creatures is that they are one of very few imagined animals that we humans have enchanted not out of fear… they are, in a way, the monsters of good. The unicorn represents the kindest, most peaceful and gracious cavern of our unconscious. And in that way it seems a perfect mascot for The City Reliquary.
The Reliquary, started in 2002, is a small museum that fills in the inevitable cracks left behind other folk or anthropological institutions. In someways it mirrors the way we assign meaning and value to the all the little things in our lives. How a roller skate or a piece of dust may be meaningful for one of us and in turn all of us. It seems like one of the few places on earth where history, community and imagination play equal and important roles.
Saltie is proud to play a part in: The First Ever Meals and Spiels. It will be a night of food and New York history. Topics will include the story of sugar, drinking water, beer, hot dogs, dumplings, coffee and more. Hosted by The Brooklyn Kitchen at 100 Frost Street the event will also feature foods and drinks from Roebling Tearoom, Oslo, M Shanghai, the Meat Hook, Brooklyn Brewery and Acme Smoked Fish.
So let us all some together in support of community, history and fun by reminding ourselves and the Reliquary that Brooklyn is full of saints.
April 27th 7-10 pm
