Renatos and The Archer (both mentioned in the article) are amazing places to eat!  If the other spots mentioned are as cool, then I'm going to get my ass to Jersey City as much as possible.  The growing diversity and quality of the cuisine is truly exciting; Jersey City is where it's at!

MOFAD: Museum of Food and Drink!

Sofrito Lovers,

Did you know that there was a museum dedicated to food and drink?  Yeah, neither did I! How incredible is that?  A museum dedicated to the art, science, culture, history, and production of food and drink- this is so cool!

This weekend, while I was searching the 'net, I discovered MOFAD's website and it threw me for a loop!  How could there be a foodie museum and I know nothing about it?  I poured through the 'site and fell in love!

The calendar of events is chock full of workshops, lectures, cooking demonstrations, art exhibits, and a lot more.  If you're like me, a foodie and museum nut, then this place is heaven!  I can't wait to go to their next CHOW, their monthly snack and chat about Chinese food and restaurants.

Check out the museum's Mission statement below and their website for more information! Go SEE AND TASTE for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

In this space, MOFAD creates exhibits and hosts an array of public programs, including cooking classes, guided tastings, hands-on workshops, science demonstrations, discussions, and seminars.
