Exclusive Minding the Store Book Talk with Fishs Eddy Owner, Julie Gaines

  • Hear Julie’s amazing story about founding the NYC retail icon, Fishs Eddy
  • Discover Julie’s treasure trove of historic china hidden in a one-room museum above her store
  • Listen to Julie talk about the creation of our graphic novel, Minding the Store
  • Learn what’s next for Fishs Eddy and Julie as she ponders the creation of an official China museum back down on the Bowery

About the event:

Whether it’s a set of vintage plates from a 1920s steamship, a mug with a New Yorker cartoon on it, a tin of sprinkles designed by Amy Sedaris, or a juice glass from a Jazz Age hotel, Fishs Eddy products are distinctly recognizable. A New York institution, Fishs Eddy also remains a family business whose owners endured the same challenges as many family businesses—and lived to write about it in this tale filled with humorous characterizations of opinionated relatives, nosy neighbors, quirky employees, and above all the eccentric foibles of the founders themselves. Listen to Julie talk about it all and how she worked on the book with her son, artist, Ben Lenovitz to create a beautiful snapshot of her amazing career.
