Get a taste of the history of Kleindeutschland in the 1870s! After taking our Family Owned tour to learn about the stories of John and Caroline Schneider’s lager bier saloon and Max Marcus’ auction house, join author and culinary historian Sarah Lohman for a conversation about the history of Christmas cookies and the German influence on American Christmas.
The tasting will feature Sarah Lohman’s recreated 1860s recipe for lebkuchen, a classic German spice cookie, and your choice of mulled wine or elderflower lemonade from Café Katja, a neighborhood restaurant run by an Austrian immigrant.
