About the New York Times Food Festival

The New York Times announced that it will be launching an ambitious new food festival, to be held on October 5 and 6 in New York City. Featuring The Times’s top food editor Sam Sifton, along with colleagues Melissa Clark, Kim Severson and others, The New York Times Food Festival will, therefore, bring together the food world’s leading chefs, restaurateurs and industry thought leaders to deliver a one-of-a-kind culinary experience for consumers across New York City.

Agenda

The festival will be a multi-component consumer experience comprised of three parts:

Outdoor event: A weekend-long outdoor festival at Bryant Park, featuring a selection of New York’s top chefs and restaurateurs—curated by Sam Sifton and the Food desk of The Times—serving dishes created just for the Festival, along with tastings, live cooking demos, family-friendly activities, and musical acts.

Live journalism: A series of live panel discussions featuring New York Times journalists in conversation with notable chefs, restaurateurs, and leading thought leaders in the food world, held at TheTimesCenter.

Bespoke dining experiences: A selection of curated dining experiences at 10 New York City restaurants chosen by Pete Wells, chief restaurant critic of The Times.

The Festival will also be supported by robust New York Times editorial content in the weeks leading up to the October celebration.

The Festival is the latest addition to The Times’s growing portfolio of live programming, underscoring its dedication to bringing a diverse offering of journalism to its audience and to the public at large.
