About this Event
New York Across Generations....
Join us at Essex Market on Thursday, November 20, 2025 for an evening filled with great food and company, hearty drinks, and a chance to break bread together. MOFAD will be bringing together friends from all corners of the culinary landscape to support MOFAD’s new exhibition, Street Food City, exploring the history of NYC’s iconic street carts and the people who make them run.
MOFAD is honored to posthumously honor Saul Zabar with our Culinary Heritage Award as part of our 'New York Across Generations' celebration. Our Gala theme recognizes the vital role of intergenerational family businesses in shaping the city's culinary landscape. Saul Zabar, the longtime co-owner of the iconic Zabar's specialty food emporium, exemplified the enduring spirit of family enterprise in New York. For over 70 years, spanning multiple generations, the Zabar family has been at the heart of the Upper West Side's gastronomic scene. This award not only celebrates Saul's individual achievements but also honors the Zabar family's commitment to nurturing their business across generations, passing down their passion for quality and service. Saul Zabar's legacy stands as a testament to the power of family-owned businesses in creating and maintaining the unique flavor of New York City, inspiring both long-time residents and newcomers alike.
