The New York City Wine and Food Festival (NYCWFF) was recently held at various locations throughout NYC. It was a weekend of wine and food tastings as well as a chance to meet a host of celebrity chefs at various events including Carla Hall, Marcus Samuelsson, Alex Guarnaschelli, Andrew Zimmern, and more.
A highlight of the festival was the Grand Testing event hosted by ShopRite. Food and beverage vendors filled a 130,000-square-foot area on Manhattan’s waterfront.
NYCWFF wasn’t all about meeting celebrities and eating. Over $1 million was raised for hunger relief organizations Food Bank For New York City and No Kid Hungry, making it a worthy as well as tasty cause.
