“At the Tredwells’ Table” Culinary Tour

The Merchant’s House Museum is a restored 1832 late-Federal and Greek Revival landmark on the federal, state, and city level. It was the first building designated in the borough of Manhattan following the passing of the Landmarks Preservation law in 1965, and is one of only 120 interior landmarks—of those, the Merchant’s House is one of only six residences. The Museum’s collection is comprised of over 3,000 items belonging to the Tredwells, the wealthy merchant-class family who lived in the home from 1835 to 1933.

VSNY attendees will be led by a trained docent on a private 75 – 90 minute tour focusing on the culinary customs of mid-19th century New York, including favorite foods, cooking methods, dining etiquette, entertaining, parties, even grocery shopping.

Guided Tour: Tour begins promptly at 11:00 a.m., please be sure to arrive a few minutes early so you can be checked-in with the group. Self-guided tours are not an option for this specific subject matter.

Address: 29 East Fourth Street, New York, NY, 10003.
