The Food Book Fair

The Wythe Hotel hosts this inaugural three-day festival for literary gourmands, packing in a full schedule of panels, book signings and more. The lineup of high-profile talks ($15 each) includes topics such as April Bloomfield (Sun 6 at 4pm), sustainability with Northern Spy's Christophe Hille (Sat 5 at 9:45am) and food porn with Grub Street editor Alyssa Shelasky (Sat 5 at 11:15am). Pore over culinary texts at the Foodieodicals market (Sat 5 5:30–7:30pm; $5); refuel from all that reading with Greenport Harbor beers, Jasper Hill cheese and other refreshments. The fair culminates with a four-course dinner inspired by Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, paired with Brooklyn Brewery beers (Sun 6 at 8pm; $150). For those looking to make a weekend of it, day passes are available for $65, as well as a three-day festival pass for $215.
