Despite it being a pretty wet weekend, people still turned out for the 32nd Annual Ukrainian Festival in the East Village, and after seeing the photo above on the blog Blondie & Brownie, I feel pretty bummed that I missed out. Lesson learned: Rain should never stand in the way of seeking out delicious eats. Lucky for those of us who wimped out, Blondie & Brownie points out that the famous St. George Church varenyky are available from their Lunch Canteen every Friday.

Umami is an upcoming food and art festival taking place from April 8-18 at Roulette in New York City. What exactly does food and art entail? Events and performances include turning non-food objects into sausages, music performed with kitchen utensils, and teaching children how to make art with their food. Think of it as being allowed to play with your food!
The festival chair, Yael Raviv, was my former "Food and Performance" professor during my senior year of college and passionate about the field; I'm sure the festival will be great. If you'd like to help out during the festival and receive free tickets in the process, contact Yael.
