When self-made food critic Keith Lee announced he was in NYC back in 2023, he had us New Yorkers in a frenzy–we were throwing out suggestions left and right of where he should eat during his stay like our rent was due! So you can imagine our excitement when we heard that not only would Lee be returning to NYC this May, but he’d be doing so in order to headline his own family-friendly food festival, and you already know how we feel about a food festival (we’re obsessed with them).
If you’re unfamiliar with Keith Lee, he’s a former MMA fighter-turned-social media food critic whose viral food review videos can essentially make or break a restaurant. He’s since amassed a whopping 17M followers on Tik Tok alone, all of who rely on his 1-10 ratings when scoping out the next place to grab a bite to eat.
So it only makes sense that the social media personality hosts his own food festival in one of the best foodie cities in the world!
Family Style Food Festival will head to Brooklyn’s Industry City on Saturday, May 17th, and it’s bringing with it some pretty big flavors. Nearly 40 restaurants will gather together to feed attendees with their best bites (and offer some fabulous merch), and the lineup includes some pretty top-tier spots! Some NYC favs include:
- Katz’s Delicatessen
- Fish Cheeks
- HAAM
- 7th Street Burger
- Aunts et Uncles
- Forsyth Fire Escape X Nom Wah
- Carmen’s Empanadas
- L’industrie Pizzeria
- Double Chicken Please
- Soothr
But the family-oriented festival is about much more than food–it’s actually known for mixing food and fashion. That’s to say beyond the food vendors, streetwear brands will also be there showcasing limited, one-of-a-kind food and merchandise items exclusively available at the event. As for the entertainment, attendees can look forward to a curated music lineup, Family Style’s own “Next In Line” cooking competition, and even a designated Kid’s Area.
With the intentions of bringing people together through the collective love of food, Family Style Food Festival is a full day of food, friends, and good times that you won’t want to miss!
Tickets for the event start at $40 for general admission or $170 for VIP, which includes GA Access plus an exclusive VIP section, complimentary food and an open bar, free limited edition Family Style VIP merch, and more! Grab yours here.
