  • From the first ice cream shop in America to the invention of the Oreo cookie, New York has been in forefront of the candy economy in America for more than two centuries. As Halloween approaches, we'll take a deep dive into confectionary of all sorts in New York, from the earliest known candy companies in the city to the role New York's retailers played in making Halloween a national event.

    PLEASE NOTE: A recording of the lecture will be available approximately 24 hours after the presentation. This video will be hosted on Vimeo and a separate email with a link to the recording will be sent to all registrants.

     


  • Each ticket covers one (1) registered device. You do not need to watch the lecture as it is happening if that's inconvenient for you -- approxmately 24 hours after the talk, a link will be emailed to all registered participants so that you can watch the talk at your leisure on Vimeo. Your registration will appear on your credit card statement as “Michelle Nevius.”
