Egg creams and egg rolls

On Sunday, the Eldridge Street Project will throw its Fourth Annual Egg Rolls and Egg Creams Block Party. The theme of this year’s festival, which celebrates both the Jewish and Chinese cultures, is “Generations,” and will focus on traditions and how stories are transmitted from one generation to the next. The festival will boast Chinese Opera singer Kuang-uyu Fong and third-generation klezmer musician Ray Musiker.

The block party is produced by the nonsectarian Eldridge Street Project, which is committed to restoring the Eldridge Street Synagogue — a National Historic Landmark since 1996 — as a community space. The festival will center in and around the synagogue and is scheduled for June 6, noon-4 p.m. on Eldridge between Canal and Division Sts. For event information, call 212-219-0888 ext. 201.
