Tasting Dim Sum: Storytime with The ABC Digest

  • Museum of Food and Drink 55 Water Street, 2nd Floor Brooklyn, NY, 11201 United States (map)

Dim sum is more than just a meal — it’s a beloved family tradition! In fact, “dim sum” roughly translates to “touch of the heart.” But what exactly *is* dim sum? How do you choose what to order? And how can we use food to spark conversations with our kids about the world’s cultures?

Join The ABC Digest creators Ashley Chang and Jeffrey Chan for an interactive family event highlighting the small dishes (and big flavors!) of dim sum. Join us as we explore the world of dim sum with storytime, crafts, and hands-on fun.
