The foodie-friendly event – which will showcase the best of the best in both food and drink – comes on the heels of this year’s Best of Brooklyn competition, hosted by Brooklyn Media Group, publisher of BrooklynReporter.com, Brokelyn. com, The Home Reporter, Brooklyn Spectator and Spectator News and several other local outlets. In the competition, now in its fifth year, over 45,000 voters crowned more than 100 winners in categories like Best Bar, Best Burger, Best Happy Hour and more, in a borough which is now known worldwide for the quality and originality of its culinary offerings. Now, you’ll have your chance to see those winning vendors – and taste their wares – in one place, Sunset Park’s Industry City. The festival will take place on Saturday, January 28 from 12:30 to 8 p.m. at 220 36th Street. Tickets are available for two sessions: I (12:30 to 2:30 p.m.) and II (3:30 to 5:30 p.m.) plus an After Party (6 to 8 p.m.) Both sessions offer early bird tickets that allow entrance a half an hour prior to opening, as well as a souvenir tasting glass. VIP Beer Enthusiast tickets are also available for both sessions, and include early-bird hours, other perks, entertainment and games, a souvenir tasting glass and a copy of the Brooklyn Beer Book.

Check out our guide to the festival’s participating vendors here: RESTAURANTS Bean Post Pub www.beanpostpub.com The Bean Post Pub in Bay Ridge is the kind of laid back bar where you want to hang out with friends. They’ve got one thing over other area pubs: beer. Their Beer Bible offers an almost overwhelming choice of suds, including 50+ bottles and 21 different drafts. Oh, yeah, and they’ve got amazing wings that come in 28 flavors and styles. Plus sliders, 150 types of liquor, 17 flat screen TVs... OK, we lied. They have like 100 things over other pubs. Paesano On 13th www.paesanoon13th.com Paesano’s is the breakfast and lunch spot in Dyker Heights. This familyowned cafe has a massive selection of bagels and toppings, Lavazza coffee, omelets, burgers, panini and many other classic Italian and American favorites. And the best part? The prices! And everything is available for hang out, take out or delivery. Get there early before the Cassatelle — incredible ricotta cream and chocolate turnovers made in-store – run out. Dinosaur BBQ www.dinosaurbarbque.com You must have heard about Dinosaur Bar-B-Que by now, especially after their Brooklyn outpost opened on Union Street in 2013. You’ve definitely heard of the legendary sauces, perfectly cooked ribs, pulled pork and steaks. What you may not have known is they began as a mobile grill, first at the huge Harley Rendezvous upstate, then all over as they followed motorcycle shows and festivals. Anyone who can keep bikers happy must know what they’re doing. Audrey’s Concerto Audrey’s Concerto is a French-Asian fusion bakery and cafe located in Bay Ridge. In a market crowded with bakeries and cupcake shops, Audrey’s Concerto stands out with strange, tasty treats like matcha lava cake and cayenne chocolate mousse. Audrey has very successfully merged two cuisines you would never think go together, which is why concerto is the perfect name for such a unique, irresistible gem.
