OK, people. Are you ready to eat some street food? I am so excited about this year’s Vendy Awards, the Academy Awards for New York street food vendors.

Did you get your ticket? There are a few tickets left, but they won’t last long.

My best advice to you is to stop eating now so that you are as hungry as you can be by Saturday. And bring a large tupperware container because you will want to try everything. You will want to try everything, and it will be impossible to finish it all. So save your leftovers for next week’s lunches!

Here are the details:

WHAT:            The 12th Annual Vendy Awards, NYC’s Premiere Street Food Competition
