The not-for-profit Eldridge Street Project is preserving the 1887 Eldridge Street Synagogue as a center for historical reflection, aesthetic inspiration, and spiritual renewal. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996, the Eldridge Street Project Synagogue is the first great house of worship built in America by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Concerts, literary events, art installations, workshops for school children, and other cultural and educational programs inspired by the site serve audiences of diverse backgrounds.

The Egg Rolls & Egg Creams Festival is supported by the Manhattan Borough President’s Office, National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, New York City Department of Youth and Community Development, New York City Department for the Aging, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, New York Times Company Foundation and Michael Tuch Foundation.
