You should have all figured out by now that we love our sandwiches. Actually, love isn't strong enough. It's been our fantasy for a while to host a big ol' picnic with all of our favorite sandwiches in New York City. So, we're doing it! And it's going to be even better than we imagined it'd be. The Serious Eats All-Star Sandwich Festival will take place on Saturday, July 23 from noon to 4 p.m. on Governors Island. Check out the all-star sandwich line-up. More

You may have spotted the 18 nominated vendors (and their trucks, propane, and enough ingredients to feed the expected 1,200 attendees) on the ferries heading over to the island for the sixth annual Vendy Awards. Started as a fundraiser for the Street Vendor Project, a non-profit that provides legal representation and advocacy to immigrant vendors, the Vendys have become the Oscars/Grammys/Tonys of street food—not to mention one of the most finger-licking and fun food events of the year in New York.

Starting today, you can order tickets for the event, which will be on Saturday, September 25, from noon to 5 p.m. Whether or not you're hitting up the event, you should nominate your favorite NYC vendor.
