The World’s Fare is coming to Citi Field
BY MARK HALLUM
The World’s Fare is coming
back to Citi Field next spring
and fi gures to attract thousands
of local foodies eager to
try curated bites from across
the globe.
Tickets are now available
for the May 18-19 festival. Inspired
by the 1964-65 World’s
Fair, the World’s Fare gives attendees
access to food, drink,
music and entertainment for
allotted times and is curated
by leading chefs, food journalists,
bloggers and social media
infl uencers.
“It was a massive success
last year with over 10,000 people
attending. The foundation
of the event is around food and
drink,” said Josh Schneps, one
of the organizers of the event.
“This year we are going to be
adding new experiences and
family-friendly activities for
kids.”
Schneps is also publisher
of Schneps Media, the parent
company of the Bronx Times
Reporter.
The World’s Fare will feature
up to 100 different vendors
celebrating equality and
diversity in the food industry
plus over 50 global craft beers
and international cocktail
bars as well.
“The whole intention of the
event is to embrace the diversity
of New York City,” Schneps
said. “Everybody has a
shared love of food and drink
so it’s a great way for people to
come together through that.”
A taste of some of the returning
vendors for this year
are Empanada Papa, Arepa
Lady, Dua Diva, Nacho Libre,
Knot Of This World, Baba’s
Pierogie, In Patella, Home
Frite, D’Abruzzo, Danny Macaroons
and Vaccaro’s Bakery.
Ticket prices are at their
lowest point currently, but will
go up as the date gets closer.
General admission tickets
are on sale for $19; $49 passes
will give you general admission
access along with a free
mug to taste 12 different kinds
of beer plus one specialty cocktail.
General admission prices
will jump to $29 in January,
$39 in March and $45 in April.

Last Thursday the
Chippewa Democratic
Club was busting at its
seams as its members
and friends came together
to celebrate the
warmth of the season
at the annual Holiday
Party. A big “thank you” to the club’s
executive board members who stopped
by on Wednesday, December 5 to decorate
the fi rst fl oor hall. The free gathering
was catered by our neighbor,
National Diner. We also collected new
toys to distribute to a
Bronx shelter. To everyone
- have a Merry
Christmas, Happy Chanukah
and a Joyful
Kwanzaa.
