Description
The first annual NYC Vegetarian Food Festival in the Altman Building in Chelsea. It was a combination trade show, restaurant showcase, and educational experience. The doors opened to the public shortly after 10 a.m., and by 11 the place was packed. The line wrapped down 18th Street by 1 p.m., up 7th Avenue, and partway up 19th Street, some people waiting in line for a couple hours just to get in.
There were cooking demos, diet and nutrition presentations, and dance performances. They figured the festivalgoers were also their type of customers. Sarah and Nira are already planning next year's festival.
