9th Avenue International Food Festival

This weekend, we enjoyed the 9th Avenue International Food Festival in Hell's Kitchen. For two days, right outside our door we were treated to hundreds of restaurants showing off their eats on 9th Avenue between 42nd Street to about 57th Street. Besides the fine dining, there were also tons of "fair food" type stuff (i.e., fried Oreos, etc.). I was extremely happy to see all that junk for the non-discriminating to jump in line to buy to prevent them from crowding the lines for the good stuff.

Wife and I did quite well with out international food tour, enjoying a variety of Indonesian appetizers, a bowl of Thai snacks, a combo plate of Indian entrees, a French crepe for dessert, and a unique Indian shake to sip as we walked home. Though the streets were extremely crowded, a great time was had by all.

I did, however, consider becoming a vegetarian when I walked by this sight on 9th Avenue a few hours ago (if anyone is concerned - no, Katie didn't see it. She fell asleep):
