MANHATTAN (PIX11) – Streets will be closed, so food vendors can pack the streets of Hell's Kitchen as the Ninth Avenue International Food Festival returns on Saturday.
“As the oldest and largest continuing food festival in New York City, we understand how much time and energy it takes to produce a quality festival, and we are always willing to do whatever it takes to make the event happen,” festival organizers wrote on the website. “The Ninth Avenue Association is committed to working together with our clients and merchants to make that event unique, high-quality, and profitable.”
Blue Seafood Bar, Poseidon Bakery, El Mil Sabores, and Marseille are just some of the participating restaurants, according to NYC Tourism and Conventions.
But while New Yorkers nosh on some tasty dishes, drivers in the area will be sitting in some heavy traffic.
