The Grub Street Food Festival Is Back on October 5

Sunday ... Sunday ... Sunday.
Sunday … Sunday … Sunday.

On Sunday, October 5, Grub Street will once again be taking over the Lower East Side’s Hester Street Fair. It’s a friendly takeover, of course, and as always, there’s going to be lots of great things to eat: Food this year includes South African street food, award-winning Asian-inspired arancini, Meat Hook Sandwich Shop snacks, bites from El Quinto Pino, chocolate-bourbon pecan pies, fruit pies, and more flan than you can probably handle. Headliners Roberta’s will be here, along with Café Habana and Asiadog, with scoops from Davey’s Ice Cream and Doughnut Plant doughnuts for dessert. The lineup is still growing — we’ll have more than 75 food vendors in all — but check out the list so far.

WHEDco Urban Horizons Kitchen is the community partner for the event. The day’s festivities run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and in addition to all this, there will be live music and a wellness bar by Stanley’s Pharmacy. Like last year, there will be an ad hoc sports bar and beer garden called the Bud Light Tailgate Zone, which will show Sunday’s football games on plasma screens, courtesy of the Hester Street Fair. We’ll post the full vendor lineup just before the event, too.
