The Infatuation’s EEEEEATSCON New York returns October 4 and 5—and this year we’re bringing it to Manhattan for the first time ever at Pier 76.
It’s a food festival for people who want more than thumb-sized hors d’oeuvres and sous vide demonstrations. We’ve got a line-up of local restaurants curated by our New York editorial team, along with exciting spots from across the country serving food you won’t find anywhere else, for one weekend only.
Your EEEEEATSCON ticket covers admission and all of the entertainment at the festival, including live music, special guest appearances, comedy, and an Infatuation game show. EEEEEATSCON is as much about connecting with everyone else who loves food in NYC as it is about eating and being entertained.
Check out some lineup highlights below, and start planning your day of pizza, barbecue, and probably at least one taco.

At this boundary-decimating restaurant from Los Angeles, dinner is not just a meal. It’s an all-sensory experience, highlighted by deep family heritage, an obsession with sourcing and sustainability, and just some of the best food you’ll eat. Try our highest-rated restaurant in LA this year at EEEEEATSCON NYC.

One of New York’s absolute best pizza spots, Lucali in Carroll Gardens is notoriously hard to get into. It’s always worth it though, and whenever we go, we make sure to get their perfectly al dente off menu pasta. The good news is, Lucali is showcasing their excellent pasta and more at their EEEEEATSCON NY pasta shop this year.
Santo Taco

The people who work at Santo Taco in Nolita wear aprons that say “A Higher Standard.” That might come off as trying too hard, if the tacos at this Nolita spot from a Cosme founder weren’t so damn good. Their steak trompo taco is destined for the unofficial NYC taco hall of fame.

If you’ve deduced from the name that Win Son Bakery makes baked goods, you’re 100% correct—but this Taiwanese American counter-service spot is so much more than that. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they serve scallion pancakes, sandos, pastries and more deeply satisfying food.
Culture Espresso

Culture Espresso is a Garment District coffee shop that makes some of the most excellent espresso drinks in Manhattan, but they also have really, really good cookies. Their chocolate chip is the most popular for good reason, but don’t sleep on the oatmeal cranberry or other variations. They specialize in slightly chunkier cookies, with thicker, chewier middles that gives way to thinner, crispier edges.
