The Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Food & Wine Magazine debuts this Fall. Like its sister event, the wildly successful Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival, the four-day weekend will also feature the hottest celebrity chefs and the biggest names in wines and spirits, all set against the backdrop of the country's culinary capital - New York City. 

Taking place primarily in the fashionable Meatpacking District and select landmark settings such as the DUMBO section of Brooklyn, the Festival will seamlessly integrate into the pace and lifestyle of the city. This year's talents include Rachael Ray, Paula Deen, Giada De Laurentiis, Tyler Florence, Alton Brown, Masaharu Morimoto, Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Ferrán Adrià, Alain Ducasse, Gordon Ramsay and Nigella Lawson to name a few.
