We just received word that tickets for the 2012 Vendy Awards are now on sale.
We have been to 3 Vendy Awards, and they are always the highlight of our year. This year’s event takes place on Saturday, September 15th on Governors Island.
A limited number of Early Bird tickets for $80 are available here. After they run out, tickets will be $95.
There are also kids tickets available, as well as various sponsorships.
For the past two years, New York Street Food has been a Silver Level sponsor of the Vendy Awards, and we expect that to be the case this year too.
There is also a new category. Click through for the new category, the first judges to be announced, and how to vote for your favorite street vendor.
We’ve been talking a lot about all the great markets around town. The Vendys noticed too, and have included a Best Market Vendor category.
Vendors will be competing in several other categories including the Vendy Cup, People’s Taste Award, Rookie of the Year and Heroic Vendor of the Year.
Don’t forget to nominate your favorite vendor for best sidewalk chef at http://streetvendor.org/
Already on board as judges are Food & Wine Magazine’s Restaurant Editor Kate Krader, chef and owner of BaoHaus Eddie Huang, and hip-hop group Das Racist.
Should be a fantastic event, as always. Don’t be left out just reading about it afterwards. Get your tickets here now.
