Join us for MUNCHIES Festival, a free two-day event on New York’s Lower East Side celebrating food in all aspects.
EVENT DETAILS
WHAT:
- MUNCHIES Festival will bring the flavors and prominent names of Nordic cuisine to New York for a once-in-a-lifetime weekend of food, drink, cinema, music and talks at the Hester Street Fair, providing a showcase of the most exciting culinary talent from one of the most important dining destinations of the past decade.
- Eight lauded Nordic chefs (two representing each country, including Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden) will demonstrate the broad definition of “new Nordic cuisine” found in these countries today.
- Ranging from fine dining to street food, the MUNCHIES Festival allows New Yorkers to experience the full spectrum of Nordic food together like never before, alongside a selection of the MUNCHIES team’s favorite New York-based restaurants.
- Showcasing the diverse voices in food culture today, MUNCHIES Festival gives attendees the rare opportunity to speak directly with leaders in the field about the role food plays in tomorrow’s social and environmental change, both in the US and in Nordic countries.
- MUNCHIES Festival is the latest real-world extension of the wide-reaching online community formed by MUNCHIES, which celebrates the diverse roles played by food in cultures all over the world.
