Italian culture is best captured by fashion and food, but it’s the relationship between the two that will be on display at Chelsea Market’s upcoming exhibition, L’Eleganza del Cibo.

Digest it over live music and all-ages activities like the comedy show “So You think You’re Jewish?” This year’s fair coincides with the Pride Parade, so swing through for lunch and grab a free rainbow cookie from Orwasher’s Bakery.

Guest artist Ralph Serrano will paint a mural to Latin beats by DJ Center and Timbalista Tommy (musical director of the Lower East Side Salsa Band).

PIZZA

The Greatest 3-Minute Pizza Stories
June 29, 7-9 p.m.
Housing Works Bookstore Café, 126 Crosby St.

Just talking about pizza can make anyone hungry, but asking New Yorkers for their opinions on it can set off an argument that could end friendships. It’s best to have these discussions in a civil setting, which 11 storytellers set out to do in three-minute shorts, each exploring new facets of our complicated relationship with this dietary staple.
