This is the first time I heard about this culinary festival in downtown NYC. Almost of the major restaurant in area had a booth that you will be able to taste one of the items on their menu. When I saw that Chanterelle was participating, I know I have to check this event. It would be a good reason to walk around and check how this location had changed dramatically.
I used to work in Tribeca about 8 years ago. I remember the place being separated from anything else. It was fraustrating at times that most all the reasonable lunch options were located in World Trade Center which is a hike itself. It was close to impossible to have lunch delivered especially in the coldest days of winter. The building where I used to work in provides a shuttle that goes back and forth from World Trade to the building.
Now, it is such an upscale location. One of its famous resident was Robert De Niro. I swear, I think I saw him once in front of a building wearing a leather jacket. He is the only celebrity sighting that I know of.
You have to buy a $45 ticket that gives you an option to taste 6 items on any restaurant booth you chose. It would have been cheaper if you purchased the ticket before the event. It would have save you $5.
Good thing we got there around noon. By 2 pm, most of the food were gone. We then headed to the park nearby so Madison can have her bottle of milk in peace. Afterwards, we chilled at Greenwich Street to listen to the bands playing.
I am glad that we went. Next time, I'll get two tickets instead of one. I'll bet Madison would want her share of desserts and cotton candy.
