World famous chefs, out-of-this-world cuisine, and some of the best wines ever made can all be found at the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival, presented by Food & Wine magazine. Along with meeting celebrity chefs, tasting world-class entrees, and guzzling sumptuous wines, you'll be doing the city a favor as all the proceeds from this event benefit the Food Bank for New York City.

Take a look into the city's past at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden, a facility that presents the history of the Mount Vernon Hotel. The hotel operated from 1826 until 1833; in its heyday, the hotel was a fashionable country resort that was popular among New Yorkers who wanted to take a break from city life. After restorations, the site was opened to the public in 1939 and serves as a reminder of a significant era in New York City history.
