Everyone knows how I love me some French fries. A new pop-up exhibit on the Bowery called “Fries of New York”aims to capture that tasty array, showcasing 85 different french fries that are served in restaurants across the city. The curator of the exhibit and the co-founder of Sir Kensington’s, a New York-based company that produces ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard wanted to get a selection where every fry was different from the other. Employees from Guild, a production company that helped with the exhibition, picked up the selected fries from the restaurants’ kitchens and transported them on bikes to the company’s studio in Brooklyn. The workers then coated the fries in a special resin to preserve them. The fries will be displayed in small glass cases and won’t be available for the public to try. But visitors coming to the free exhibit, which runs Nov. 7 and 8, will receive samples of Sir Kensington’s organic ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard. “Fries of New York” will be on display at 168 Bowery on Nov. 7 and 8 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m: Link
