Mad restaurants under one roof.
Village Voice is a long standing o.g in New York culture. As a youngster hanging downtown, I would always kill time by looking at the weekly publication. When the Village Voice changed their format and made the paper into a free weekly thats when I appreciated it more. It was always my go to, to see which music artist were in town. Indeed , I would check the tits and ass in the back pages and I’m sure I applied to test some shit for 2500. These days I don’t get to grab the newspaper as much as I used to but I try to go to their events. In March, Village Voice will be celebrating their 9th annual Choice Eats. The awesome thing about this event , the food represents all walks of life. It’s a must go to event. Straight New York talk.

One of my favorite New York magazines so happens to be the New York Magazine. New York Mag is pretty on top of the pulse of what’s happening in the city. They are also known for being on top of what’s new in the New York food scene. Every year, New York Mag assembles some of the top restaurants under one roof for a great dining experience. Check out some of the yummy bites from New York Taste 2014 below.

Last week, I attended an extraordinary culinary experience at Basketball City. The event was put together by one of the finest charitable organizations in the city. Although I had to use some old-school Brooklyn style tactics to get in, the event was one for the books. With over 70 restaurants participating, it was wall to wall of delightful bites. The venue also was set up with a dessert bar, an auction, a few mixologist, a scotch whiskey station and a cigar corner. Not only it was a fun event but the charity raised over a million dollars to help feed hunger. PINKYFINGERUP

The highlight of this year’s festival was hands down was the 10th anniversary of Meatopia. This was the first year that the popular event was involved with NYCWFF. This event had the works: Dj D-Nice on the mix, bourbon whiskey poured by Knob Creek and some great bites by some of the best chefs and bbq huts in the country.
Mr. Ozersky, thank you for a wonderful time, I’m already looking forward to next year. Until then, check out some of the meaty bites from the night.

The Saturday night attraction of the Food & Wine Festival was the ever so popular Tacos & Tequila Event hosted by Food Network all-star and restaurateur Bobby Flay. After a busy afternoon of grubbing, I took a much need siesta before the fiesta. One of the reasons I enjoy this event is because of the variety of proteins used for each creative dish. There were some really great offerings this year, check out some of these flicks.
