Meatpacking District

The mother of all New York City food festivals is the New York City Wine and Food Festival thrown by The Food Network. Every personality they have will be walking around the Meatpacking District for four days, throwing demos and events for anything a foodie would desire. The biggest bang for your buck most likely is for the $195 Grand Tasting–each ticket allows six hours of eating and drinking along a pier on the Hudson.

Foodies who still like to imbibe in good brews should check out Village Voice’s Brooklyn Pour. This annual event, the sister event to the spring’s Choice Eats and thrown in the former Williamsburg Savings Bank, has the best local brews, with a few choice eats of its own on the side. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on August 22nd, with VIP ones a relative steal at $65.
