Free Lunch at the Tenement Museum

You know the old saying. It holds true here too. Jane Ziegelman (author of 97 Orchard) will walk you through the common 19th-century promotion of a "free lunch," offered by bars with the purchase of a beer. You'll be able to taste the lunch offerings of the time—smoked herring, pickled oysters, sausage and more—provided by local vendors like Prime Meats and Acme Smoked Fish, along with beer from Brooklyn Brewery.
