New York City Wine & Food Festival
New York, New York
Given the huge number of chefs who either live in, work in, or own restaurants in NYC, it's little surprise that the New York City Wine & Food Festival is one of the best in the country. Sponsored in part by the Food Network and Food + Wine Magazine, this multi-day event runs from October 17th to the 20th, and will feature dinners, cooking demonstrations, seminars, and various food and drink tastings, as well as appearances by local talent and a slew of Food Network stars. But the best part? All of the net proceeds go to benefit hunger-relief programs, so you can feel a little better about gorging yourself all weekend long.
