The ‘World’s Fare’ in Flushing brings Queens cuisine from around the world
More than 50 years after millions descended on Flushing Meadows-Corona Park for the beloved 1964-65 World’s Fair, the city’s dazzling global food scene will be celebrated in Queens with a 21st-century ‘Fare.’
“The World’s Fare” will take place on April 28 and 29 in the parking lot outside of Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. The event re-imagines the iconic 1964 event and brings food, drink, art and music from over 100 countries to the venue.
Participating restaurants and food vendors will be curated by an all-star team of chefs and culinary advocates, including Singaporean food expert K.F. Seetoh, journalist and culinary historian Jessica Harris and renowned Danish chef Claus Meyer, who called the affair the “culinary event of the year.”
