The New York City Food & Wine Festival is moving to Brooklyn!

“We’re incredibly excited to expand our footprint to Brooklyn and offer our most attended events at one culinary campus,” said festival founder and director Lee Brian Schrager in an official statement ab out the news. “We are pleased to offer the same festival you know and love to more guests at our new location. We look forward to welcoming more Brooklyn chefs and partners to this year’s events and further providing them with a platform to showcase their impeccable talent.”
The celebration of the borough begins as soon as the festival kicks off with a Best of Brooklyn event that will showcase over 25 area chefs.
As has always been the case in the past—this is the festival’s 17th annual iteration—the event will supposed God’s Love We Deliver, the local organization that helps deliver meals to sick New Yorkers in need.
