I have thrown open the windows of the apartment and am enjoying the cool, relaxing temperatures of the morning. But that’s not what I am here to discuss today. Actually, it’s not so much a discussion as a drive by hot tip.

I have just discovered that there is a NY Food Museum. Now, you might think – hello? you have two blogs – this one on food and another about NYC. How could you not have known there was a NY Food Museum. Well, in my defense – um – well, look. It’s only 10 or so years old and has no permanent home. No? Not buying it. Never mind. I’m telling you now.

NY Food Museum. Great stuff. Their mission is to “To encourage people to think about the food they eat.” I love that mission. One of their upcoming events: 9th Annual NYC International Pickle Day (10/4/09). OK, I admit to not being a pickle fan but it sounds like a blast.

There is also a New York Museum of Water that can fill you in on what’s in that water you are drinking. Do I want to know? I mean – after years of drinking the water in Houston (where ice cubes periodically ended up smelling like sulfur), I’m finally able NOT to think about it too much.
