Over the course of three days (May 16, 17, and 18), three big tastings will offer the opportunity to sample a sizable swathe of the city’s eateries. Here’s a cheat sheet to help you determine whether you want to explore Williamsburg-Greenpoint, Queens, Manhattan, or all three. No, there won’t be a Belgian waffle stand at the Queens event (à la Iron Man 2), but the Manhattan event will feature a pretzel stand!
