Kensington World's Fair - October 24, 2010

Residents of Kensington, Brooklyn had the brilliant idea to host a festival to unify the diverse - and segregated - ethnic groups in the community.  Their idea became the Kensington World's Fair, and brought together Bangladeshi folks dancers, Yiddish klezmer musicians, Latino cooks, Day of the Dead skeletons, and a great crowd.

Hermelinda tried out a brand new recipe: "Mexican Spiced Cider" or Ponche, a hot brew of local apples, tamarind, sugarcane, cinnamon, and tropical fruits.  Rojas family traditionally drink ponche, somewhere between hot cider and fruit stew, on winter holidays.
