TANG’S NATURAL – NYC DUMPLING FESTIVAL

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 28th 

NOON – 5pm

SARA D. ROOSEVELT PARK – LOWER EASTSIDE

(EAST HOUSTON & CHRYSTIE STREET – ACROSS FROM WHOLE FOODS)

New Yorkers of all stripes can get their dumpling  fix at the Tang’s Natural NYC Dumpling Festival. Attendees will sample what the world has to offer in the way of dumplings, including selections from the cuisines of Italy, China, Japan, Jamaica, and more, with fillings that are sweet or savory, steamed or fried. As part of the event, competitive eaters from across the country and everyday residents will pit their stomachs against each other at the 10th Annual Chef One Dumpling Eating Contest, as they attempt to upset the record of 74 dumplings in two minutes and win $2000.  The day of activities is sponsored by Tang’s Natural, Chef One, Bruce Cost Ginger Ale, Red Egg, Mika, H-Mart and Fairway. Corporate sponsors include Delta Air Lines, Core Garment Solution, Poland Spring and VerTerra.

A $20 ticket, which can be purchased (cash only) on-site on the day of the event, entitles the ticketholder to choose a total of four tastes from participating booths throughout the Festival. The event is a fundraiser for Food Bank For New York City; 100% of all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated by the TMI Charitable Foundation to the anti-hunger organization.

Happiness, $25 and under.
