Newly opened on Saturday, June 4th, a sprawling show called "Around the Table: Stories of the Foods We Love" at the New York Botanical Garden takes an artful approach to showcasing not only the edible bounty provided by nature, but also the diverse traditions of culture and cuisine surrounding dinner tables in the Bronx and throughout New York City.
Those tables are among the highlights of "Around the Table." On view through September 11th, the show also includes a gallery display of works by Events related to those traditions and topics will be held during the run of the exhibition, and on some days a hibiscus stand will be serving red tea.And then, of course, there are the plants, which Mokhtari reports are just starting to flourish. "The exhibition will evolve as the plants complete their seasonal cycles," she said. "For example, the sorghum on display outside the conservatory is quite small right now.
That’s good to know.
A great place to go.
