In early 20th century Edwardian England, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin had to overcome unbelievable obstacles, both scientific and personal, in her quest for scientific discovery – the determination of the composition of stars.

In the Footsteps of Ruth Reichl: A NYC Food Odyssey (Online)

Join us on an adventure that’s part of New York City’s culinary history! Ruth Reichl was the NY Times food critic from 1993-1999, famous for her “populist” reviews of restaurants that everyone could enjoy and afford. Previous Times reviewers had focused on expensive high-end restaurants, but Ruth changed all that! Over 75 of the restaurants she reviewed are still in business. With foreknowledge of her (often very funny) reviews, we will walk in Ruth’s footsteps to “visit” seven of the restaurants, their neighborhoods and other familiar and new attractions. Copies of 7 all-day itineraries, 7 RR reviews will be included.
