Food festivals are my favorite because I get to try items I normally wouldn't and the ones in NYC are too far, expensive and too crowded. This is my favorite by far!

People were fighting for the spot and you're backing into on coming traffic. There are overflow lots that require a trek to get to the farm. There are TONS of bees. So be aware. One garbage was absolutely overtaken by them. The have a cute little general store where you can buy confectionery treats, honey, drinks and cute little trinkets.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by ample (free) parking and welcoming staff. There is a charge of $20 per person to enter but that includes almost everything inside including seeing animals (which you can feed by buying $5 cones of food), pony rides for children, a hay ride for the whole family, access to a pumpkin patch, face painting, and a clown/balloon show. The pumpkins were plentiful and reasonably priced and there was a great selection of fall and fair treats. We ended up getting Apple cider, Apple cider donuts, seasonal jam, and lemonade. All were fantastic and priced well considering the cover charge. The farm is beautiful and there are so many scenic spaces for family photos. I was also concerned that going to a pumpkin patch on a Saturday in October would be crazy in terms of the number of people there, but the area was spacious and the lines were all relatively short. Definitely check this place out before the season ends. If you can't make it, they have a tree lighting ceremony in the winter that I imagine will be just as great.

Gone are the days of heading east to the vineyard in order to experience this large and fun event…read more This one has always drawn a bit of a more ... "diverse" crowd so to speak, being that they have ciders, wines, and spiked seltzers all mingling with the normal beer guys; it definitely can add to the unique dynamic of the event. Also altering this event is the rather large area you're spread out in as well as the one and only real food vendor being Bobbique of Patchogue. All of the reps at these things are friendly and this one was no different, walk up and ask any and all questions you have and they'll be happy to talk to you about their product. I wasn't as much of a fan of the beers this year, though winning tickets took a whole lot of the pressure off to get everywhere as fast as possible. (also I was a bit hung over from the day before so take this with a grain of salt... like a Gose) The addition of the home-brewers at festivals is quite nice because they try some pretty out of the box recipes, yes they are usually a bit less carbonated and a bit less... well executed in my opinion but I appreciate them so much for their dedication to creativity and explorations. The VIP session affords you an extra hour to start before they open the gates to the masses, it also includes a meal voucher which saves you 10 bux, as well as certain exclusive beers not available to general admission ticket holders, plus how badass is it to roll up and skip those losers waiting on line? The events good to say hi to all my rock-star brewer and owner friends and family as well as my fellow drinkers, it's always fun trying new things and socializing a bit so I've got no major complaints about the day. I enjoyed getting to mix things up with Cider and wine and was stoked to get the opportunity to have some VIP barley wine over at Goose Island as well as a triple by... I forget who. All the local guys were in full swing and the freebies from certain breweries were a cool bonus. If you were nice enough and cool enough... and managed a bit of good timing there were goodies all over. If you're a negative-nancy, maybe you overlooked some of the fun and perks of the festival; noting all your complaints about the generally loved free-spirit that these things usually take on. All in all I'm glad I got to go thanks to Yelp and their promotional giveaway.
