If you're going to be in NYC this Sunday, plan your weekend accordingly. Head down to the Lower East Side to check out Pickle Day. I went to this pickle festival last year and thoroughly enjoyed tasting Guss' famous crunchy juicy bright green pickles and Rick's sweet and mildly spicy pickle spears in a cumin and lime brine. If you enjoy pickled vegetables, it's well worth your Sunday.
Some festivities to expect this year include: cooking and home canning demonstrations, music, neighborhood walks, and activities for children. There will also be an interactive showcase with pickle recipes. And, of course, what would a trip to the Lower East Side be without a showing of the movie Crossing Delancey. The movie starts at 3 PM.
Pickle Day is hosted by the Lower East Side Business Improvement District and the NY Food Museum. It's going to take place on Orchard Street between Broome and Grand and in the parking lot on the corner of Ludlow and Broome.
