  • Baltimore's Eastern European Jewish
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: A CONSUMING HERITAGE: BALTIMORE’S EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWISH IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY AND THEIR EVOLVING FOODWAYS, 1880-1939 Charlotte Louise Sturm, Master of Arts, 2013 Thesis directed by: Professor Lisa R. Mar Department of History This study explores how Baltimore’s Eastern European Jewish immigrants and their American-born children engaged with American foodways during the period 1880- 1939. Food-related charitable aid and food education were used as tools of Americanization and moral uplift by public health officials, middle-class charitable workers, and social reformers between 1880 and 1920. The home economics classrooms of Baltimore’s public schools continued this work in the early twentieth century, teaching the immigrants’ American-born children lessons about food and middle-class domesticity. Although somewhat influential in reshaping the immigrants’ food habits, the Eastern European Jewish immigrants and their children largely retained their traditional foodways, making their own choices about how to adopt American foodways. Interconnected issues of food, health, economics, middle-class domesticity, citizenship, and identity are evident in this study. Using sources such as cookbooks and oral histories, this study demonstrates how foodways expressed and continue to express Jewish, American, and Jewish American identities.

Two major segments of the economy that have been laggards (service and employment) are expected to play catch up in the second half of the year as the re-opening kicks into full gear with the U.S.

    Philadelphia Restaurant Guide Recommended Downtown Restaurants Notes: 1. WELCOME - Philadelphia is a great ea=ng town, so plan to sample the diverse cuisines from local Italian to Ethiopian to celebrity chef hot spots. This sec=on of the restaurant guide (pages 1-20) highlights recommended restaurants and will help you find great places for every meal. It includes a variety of choices and should cater to many tastes and budgets. All of the restaurants are located in Center City (downtown) and can be reached on foot, by public transporta=on, or by cab. Philly is a city of neighborhoods, so this part of the guide is organized by neighborhood. Each sec=on includes informa=on about how to reach each neighborhood. Nearly all are no farther than a short cab ride away. Public transporta=on is also available; trains along Broad St or Market St will service some neighborhoods, and buses will service most others. Riders 65 and older ride free on all buses; just show your ID to the driver. 2. BYOB - Philly features a number of restaurants do not serve alcoholic beverages, but instead are Bring Your Own BoQle (BYOB). Guests are encouraged to bring their own wine, beer, or other drinks. Most of these restaurants offer excellent food at fair prices. Many are chef-owned and it's not unusual to find the chef/owner in the kitchen. You can buy beer at many local stores, including delis, and a complete offering of alcoholic beverages at the nearby State stores at 1218 Chestnut St and 5 N 12 St across from the MarrioQ.
