What was “brain food” for Leonardo da Vinci? You may not learn his favorite snack, but you will be treated to a discussion of the culinary customs of his day in a talk at the 92nd Street Y by Dr. Joseph Forte, the chairman of the art history department of Sarah Lawrence College, and Francine Segan, a food historian and author. It’s well-timed; this year is the 500th anniversary of da Vinci’s death.
Da Vinci: Art & Feasting, 7 p.m. July 18, $35, 92nd Street Y, 1395 Lexington Avenue (92nd Street), 212-415-5500, 92y.org.
