After the jump: Ninth Avenue International Food Fest, 32nd Annual Ukrainian Festival, Cuisine of Queens and Beyond

Ninth Avenue International Food Fest
Saturday and Sunday, May 17 to 18
Not so much an "international food festival" as a glorified street fair, featuring many of the restaurants that line Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. Admission is free, you just pay for what you eat. Tube socks may also be available. Ninth Avenue, from 37th to 57th streets

32nd Annual Ukrainian Festival
Friday, May 16, 4 to 11 p.m.; Saturday, May 17, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Sunday, May 18, 1 to 5 p.m.
There are plenty of Ukranian crafts at this annual street fair sponsored by St. George's Ukranian Church in the East Village, but we go for the pierogies and blintzes. 7th Street, between Second and Third avenues

Park Slope Fifth Avenue Fair
Sunday, May 18, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
An otherwise fairly generic New York street fair, but notable because the numerous restaurants up and down Fifth Avenue come out and serve their food. Fifth Avenue, from Flatbush to 14th Street

Cuisine of Queens and Beyond
Tuesday, May 20, 6 to 9 p.m.
Sample food from more than 50 Queens restaurants and shops, at this Du Jour Magazine sponsored event. Plus, be on hand for the Burger Battle of the Boroughs. Astoria World Manor, 25-22 Astoria Boulevard, Astoria NY 11102; dishdujourmagazine.com
