Happening Now: The Grub Street Festival at Hester Street

The Grub Street Food Festival, 2011.
The Grub Street Food Festival is in full swing this afternoon along Essex Street between Hester and Grand.

Come hungry if you are headed to the Grub Street Food Festival at the Hester Street Fair this afternoon: there’s plenty to eat! It’s a smorgasbord of tasty samples of grilled meat, cold sweets, hot spices and gourmet fixin’s. Food and drink vendors have spread out across the high school track next to HSF’s usual spot adjacent to Seward Park. The beer garden, a few food vendors and lots of non-food merchandise booths are happening in the regular space. Admission is free and the fair runs until 6 p.m.
