Manischewitz opens NYC exhibition

Opening February 5 at Artifact NYC, Soup is a new art and photography exhibition presented by Manischewitz that explores Jewish cuisine, memory, and identity as living culture. The exhibition brings together contemporary artists and photographers who use food, particularly soup, as a lens for storytelling, ritual, humor, and generational memory. The exhibit will be open to the public from February 6-10, located at 155 Suffolk St. and is free and open to all, with art being sold on site. The project reflects a shared belief that food is more than sustenance—it carries language, history, resilience, and belonging—and that art, like food, plays an essential role in sustaining culture, the company says.

Oprah just revealed her current favorite snack on Today with Jenna Bush Hager & Sheinelle Jones: Hershey's Dot’s Homestyle pretzels (especially the original flavor). The pretzels are available at shop.hershey.com, and can also be purchased at Amazon, Target, Walmart, and many other retailers. Hager and Jones asked Winfrey about some of her favorite things (similar to her Oprah's Favorite Things list), which is how the topic of favorite snack came up. Hager applauded when Winfrey mentioned Dot's, as she and her daughter are apparently also purchasers of the snack, and Jones admitted she too loves the brand.
