We’re halfway through the 9^th Ave International Food Festival, and it’s been lovely weather so far. Sure, there’s plenty of “knick-​knack” stalls, , and of course MozzArepas™, but if you can get past them dozens of restaurants along 9^th Ave have got stalls going, and most of the bars have seating overflowing out onto the street.

Of course, you have to brave the sea of people:

Lots of crews slaving away serving up food for everyone:

Some live entertainment:

A lot of local community groups have stalls going:

The kids section is up between 53^rd & 54^th with at least five jumping castles, and two of these guys:

Basically the whole festival can be summed up as “diets”

Look forward to more crowds tomorrow!
