What: Join us for our second Valentine's Gift Shop, held this year in a spectacular 1868 warehouse space provided by the South Street Seaport Museum.

FOUNTAIN TALK
Saturday February 11, 6:30pm
Hear Gregory Cohen, an artisan in the new soda fountain movement, describe his work reviving lost drinks from the 1930's at his soda fountain in Tallahassee Florida. The rediscovery of the treats and techniques of the soda fountain mirrors the local food movement.  Gregory will take you back to the start of the bubbles and take you to where they are going today. No charge, but an r.s.v.p. is required by Feb 10: info@newamsterdammarket.org

The Gift Shop is open to the public at no charge from 11am to 6pm.
When: Saturday and Sunday, February 11 and 12 11am - 6pm
Where: 213-215 Water Street in Lower Manhattan
