Google Translate is celebrating its tenth birthday with a Lower East Side pop-up. The company nabbed the Old Bowery Station space at 168 Bowery for a four-day stint this weekend, celebrating with dinners cooked by local restaurateurs.
Each night, a different chef “headliner” will cook a three-course menu. Service is further supported by other “friends” from the industry. Guest stars include Gerardo Gonzalez, JJ Johnson, Danny Bowien, and Einat Admony.
“Languages from around the world will be your guide as our guest chefs take you on a journey through the lens of food — our universal language,” notes the press page.
Meanwhile, 168 Bowery is already prepared for Google. At least on the outside. Food-related words in world languages are emblazoned across both sides of the storefront.
The events are open to the public free of charge. However, it appears all nights are sold out.
