New York City’s major culinary festival is gearing up for another grand celebration. According to a recent press release, The Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival will take NYC by storm this October starting on the 17th. The four-day festival will host over 80 events in Manhattan and Brooklyn to celebrate its 17th year.
NYCWFF is one of the city’s biggest food festivals, drawing thousands of visitors from around the world to celebrate NYC’s unique food culture. Additionally, with the help of the festival’s charitable partner God’s Love We Deliver, the festival helps raise awareness of food insecurity within NYC, by delivering home-cooked meals to those in need.
Visitors can expect to participate in various events like FoodieCon hosted by Elena Besser, taste-testing events, and other unique dining experiences. The festival’s founder and director Lee Brian Schrager shared his excitement for the event in a statement.
“This 17th year of NYCWFF marks a major turning point for the festival,” said Schrager. “Our new home in Brooklyn is breathing fresh life into the experience, from evolving events like FoodieCon presented by Fratelli Beretta and the star-studded culinary demos to reimagined fan favorites on the pier and local dining experiences.”
“The energy is palpable, the talent is incredibly diverse, and we are deepening our connection to the Brooklyn community by featuring over 100+ Brooklyn restaurants. We’re confident this year will deliver an unforgettable experience for our loyal supporters and those discovering NYCWFF for the first time,” he continued.
Alongside its many events, festival goers will meet over 400 chefs from spectacular restaurants, some based in NYC and others abroad. Additionally, guests will be able to see other events hosted by celebrity talent in and outside the food industry including Bobby Flay, Snoop Dogg, Rachael Ray, Alex Guarnaschelli, Dr. Dre, Andrew Zimmern, The Pasta Queen, and many others.
Those who are interested in participating in the festival should head over to the official NYCWFF website. There, potential guests can find out more information on festival events and tickets.
