New York City Vegetarian Food Festival This Saturday and Sunday

The New York City Vegetarian Food Festival will take place this Saturday and Sunday, March 14th and 15th at Metropolitan Pavillion (21 West 18th Street) from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.

There will be food to sample, truly inspiring speakers, a chance to learn about the many non profits affiliated with the festival, and just plain fun.

The festival also has an entire kids area. This includes activities that are specifically geared to help our valued youngsters get on the path to wellness.

In a Festival preview, I heard and was moved by Dr. Robert Ostfeld and his views on diet. He has dedicated his life to helping and caring, after losing his brother at a very early age.

He is a cardiologist and the founder and director of the Cardiac Wellness Program at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, New York.

High praise goes out to the event’s founder and all around dynamo, the indomitable Sarah Gross, whose visions for healthy eating, and dedication in that regard has turned life around for so many and so many yet to come.
