SUMMARY:A Sweet Winter Hike with Gerri Griswold and Kelly Orr - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Saturday January 10\, 2026 \nIn the late 19th century hot potato vendors peddled their wares on the busy streets of Manhattan\, offering a popular and simple snack to New Yorkers. Known as “Mickeys\,” these hot\, baked potatoes were a beloved street food. Vendors would walk the city\, selling the warm\, starchy potatoes wrapped in paper or cloth. They were not just a quick and affordable snack but also served a practical purpose during cold weather\, as many people would carry them in their pockets to use as makeshift hand warmers on frigid days. Hot potatoes were especially popular among the working class and immigrants in Manhattan\, providing both sustenance and warmth for those on the go. Street vendors were a common sight in the city during this period\, offering an array of cheap and accessible food options for a rapidly growing urban population. The hot potato\, often eaten in between work shifts or on the way home\, was part of a broader culture of street food that provided comfort and nourishment amidst the hustle of daily life. We at White Memorial love old-fashioned stuff. Step into the past with Gerri Griswold and Kelly Orr as they lead you on a pretty winter hike to Pine Grove I Campsite where you’ll be greeted with a roaring fire and indulge in a time-honored treat of roasted sweet potatoes. Comforting mulled cider will also be on hand!  \n2:00 p.m. Meet in the Museum Members: FREE\, Non Members: $10.00 \nTHIS PROGRAM IS NOW SOLD OUT.
