New York has a lot of food festivals. But very few involve pastrami tacos, challah Korean fried chicken sandwiches, natural wine, flower crowns and Gail Simmons hanging out in something called \u201cThe Grandmas Tent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Great Nosh<\/a>, the wildly popular Jewish food festival that sold out during its debut last year<\/a>, is officially returning to Governors Island on Sunday, June 21. Presented by the Jewish Food Society, the one-day outdoor festival turns Governors Island into a giant picnic celebrating Jewish food culture across New York City, with chef collaborations, live music, arts programming and enough carbs to require a nap immediately afterward.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s food lineup is absurdly stacked with exclusive collaborations: Katz’s Delicatessen is teaming up with Santo Taco for pastrami tacos with avocado salsa and pickled escabeche; Russ & Daughters is joining forces with Bonnie\u2019s for steamed turnip cakes topped with everything bagel seasoning and smoked salmon; and Kabawa is collaborating with Gertie on a still-mysterious dish that will almost certainly develop a cult following. Other participants include Dhamaka, Sailor, Sushi Noz, Zabar’s and Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, alongside bakeries, wine bars and specialty coffee pop-ups.<\/p>\n The festival leans just as hard into the \u201csummer picnic party\u201d vibe as the food itself. Programming is set to include storytelling-focused cooking demos hosted by Gail Simmons and Pati Jinich, plus beading workshops from Susan Alexandra, flower crown-making, painting activities from The Jewish Museum<\/a> and live music from Havurah. Every ticket also comes with a picnic blanket and tote bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tickets cost $36 and are on sale now. Considering last year\u2019s event sold out, procrastinating here may be a bad idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York has a lot of food festivals.
