Free Cooking Lesson in Union Square

Join The New School’s Fabio Parasecoli for New York City’s first college pop-up class will at Union Square’s Greenmarket on Wednesday, April 20 at 11 a.m.

A world-travelled food and culture expert, Fabio leads The New School’s Food Studies program, which examines the cultural, political, and economic significance of how and why we eat.

With the Greenmarket as his classroom, Professor Parasecoli will conduct a unique cultural, historical, and environmental lesson in food – with the farmers as participating experts – as collective thoughts turn to spring produce, Easter dinners and Passover recipes.

At the end of the pop-up class, he’ll offer up a Greenmarket recipe and answer questions. The class starts by the statue of Gandhi at the south-west corner of Union Square–look for The New School signs!
