I went to the one in Bethlehem once. it was basically an excuse to go to the Vegan Treats store. That one was small. It was nice, but I wouldn't drive out there again just for that. This one looks a lot larger. I was going to go and check it out. There's a Vegan Treats stand in there somewhere.

i went to the first one in... 2011, i think? it took forever to get in (the line for entry went around the block) and once inside it was pretty crowded, but there was a lot of good stuff there. where is it being held this year?

It's being held at the metropolitan pavilion in Chelsea. I'm interested in finding a schedule.. Oh, and I bought a VIP ticket in order to avoid waiting in the long line, VIP tickets are 15-30 dollars depending on if you can find the discount on amazon local.. I didn't see the promo so of course I ended up paying $30.

there's a Groupon deal for an after-party, if anyone's interested: http://www.groupon.com/deals/nyc-vegeta ... =uu3500366

We're flying down to go to this thing (well, plus it's an excuse to go to NYC)
The schedule looks pretty interesting, and some great speakers will be there (I think!) - http://nycvegfoodfest.com/lineup-2013

I am going for the 3rd year. It is always a madhouse, but a good time. If you don't have VIP tix, get there before opening to avoid the monster line. Last year I got there 30-45 min before opening on Sunday and a line was already forming.

i stood online for 2 hours and then was told that it sold out and they had to close doors. I got there at 10:40, so I felt that was kind of ridiculous. I knew I would have to wait but I thought after waiting that long i would be inside! People on the VIP line were also waiting to get in, and they had tickets. I'm really glad I didn't pay for a ticket and still not get in, that is super messed up.

I went the first year and gave up after standing in line forever. and then I just didn't know if it would be worth it to get up so early on a weekend to get there in time.
But now it has become my annual meetup with Dynahmite, so I still usually go to manhattan at some point on vegfest weekend :)
