Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival

Food Network's star-studded weekend affair returns with more than 100 tastings, seminars (sushi rolling, mozzarella-pulling), intimate dinners and late-night parties to benefit two campaigns: Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry and the Food Bank For New York City. There’s the renowned carnivore fest Meatopia, a new Dominique Ansel–hosted masquerade dessert ball and a Mario Batali-helmed rooftop tailgate with NFL hall of famer Joe Namath. Not to miss: Saturday’s all-day Grand Tasting, once again taking over the 130,000-square-foot space at Pier 94.
