Few food festivals sum up the melting-pot deliciousness of NYC quite like the Egg Rolls, Egg Creams & Empanadas Festival, a street fest that spotlights the diverse cultures that make up the Lower East Side and Chinatown. And the beloved neighborhood event hosted by The Museum at Eldridge Street is back for its 23rd year, with all of those titular goodies and much more.
On Sunday, June 16 from noon to 4pm, take to the street just outside of the Museum’s landmark Eldridge Street Synagogue home (on Eldridge between Division and Canal Streets) for a celebratory medley of Chinese, Jewish and Puerto Rican tastes, talents and traditions. Wo Hop will provide the freshly fried egg rolls, Mia’s Cocina the savory empanadas and Brooklyn Seltzer Boys those cooling egg creams, all of which will be available for purchase.
Beyond the great food, festivalgoers can enjoy live cultural performances including lion dancing by the New York Chinese Cultural Center, bomba and plena music performed by all-woman vocal group La Manga and East Harlem-based ensemble Los Pleneros de la 21, klezmer jams from the music collective Litvakus, Yiddish melodies from The Mamales and a spoken word performance from award-winning poet Bob Holman.
And if you want to get in on the fine yourself, take part in a range of folk arts, crafts and workshops, from Puerto Rican vejigante mask-making with artist and educator Felipe Rangel to Chinese paper cutting with artist Ling Tang and Ashkenazi Jewish folk fortune telling with Yiddish actor and scholar Mikhl Yashinsky.

Any New Yorker who has melted their brainby watching daylong marathons of The Real Housewives, Below Deck and Vanderpump Rules (guilty!) has been waiting for this day: New York is finally getting a Bravo-inspired bar.
Sure, there have been NYC bars and restaurants that have hosted viewing parties of Bravo’s hit shows in the past—those Scandoval-era shindigs were fun, weren’t they?—but now those that bow to the altar of Andy Cohen will be happy to hear that an entire Bravo-inspired drinking den will debut this August. From Bucket Listers, the same folks that created theover-the-top, all-pink Malibu Barbie Cafe to Manhattan andthe cheesecake-serving Golden Girls Kitchen to Miami, comes an immersive Diamonds and Rosé Experience by Bravo, complete with cocktails and mocktails harking back to reality TV lore.
Yes, from Friday, August 2 to Sunday, October 6 at Selene (11 Hanover Square), you can sip on a Mazel Mule, a Physically Shaking Margarita or a Pumptini—that Vanderpump classic—while you recreate memorable Bravo moments in photo opps, show off your Bravo knowledge in trivia games and peruse a historical archive of real-deal Bravo artifacts. (The possibilities are truly endless.) Bravo diehards can shop a collection of exclusive merchandise, enjoy a Bravo-themed drag show and feel chic c’est la vie with a complimentaryglass of rosé. (Though Ramona is more partial to Pinot Grigio, of course.)
General admission ticket starts at $35 and includes a glass of rosé and 90 minutes to experience the Diamonds and Rosé pop-up. Real Bravo-holics can level up with a Bravo Brunch starting at $50 (which includes a welcome mimosa and main entreé) or a Drag Brunch starting at $75. The waitlist for the NYC event (as well as its LA-based sister) is already open so don’t be all, like, uncool. Sign up!
