The “Taste NY” Brunch is part of the 6th Annual Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by FOOD & WINE, October 17 to 20, 2013.

“Taste NY” is a joint marketing initiative of the Empire State Development Corporation and Department of Agriculture and Markets focused on branding and expanding New York’s food and beverage industry by making the wide variety of foods made and grown close in the state readily available and recognizable to New York residents, tourists and the world. Part of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s efforts to promote agribusiness across the state, “Taste NY” is part of a $60 million-plus tourism campaign, the largest in decades.

The program brands and publicizes New York-made food and beverage products via promotions such as “Taste NY” tents and pavilions at food and wine events and “Taste NY” stores and kiosks located at Thruway rest stops, airports and other transportation hubs. There’s also a new “Taste NY” website with links to food and beverage producers that sell direct to the public such as farms, wineries, breweries and distilleries along with listings of special food events such as farmers’ markets and festivals.
