Thousands of Restaurant, Foodservice and Specialty Beverage Professionals Gathered in New York for the International Restaurant Show and Coffee Fest
3/15/2022
NEW YORK, NY – After a two-year hiatus, Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group and the New York State Restaurant Association held the co-located International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York and Coffee Fest New York at the Javits Center in New York City last week. The two events brought together hundreds of exhibiting companies and thousands of restaurateurs, foodservice and specialty beverage professionals and provided hours of education through the Food & Beverage Academy, dozens of special events including culinary competitions, awards presentations, a visit from New York City Mayor Eric Adams and several networking opportunities. “What a wonderful week, we are so happy that we were able to meet in person after a long two years. This was the last show held at the Javits Center in March 2020 before the pandemic began and the first one back with the Covid restrictions lifted,” said Rita Ugianskis, Vice President, Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group. “Over the course of the three-day event, our attendees shared how much they enjoyed being back together at an in-person event and to be able to taste new food and beverage items, shake hands and learn together everything that makes a restaurant, food and coffee establishment operation successful. We received such positive feedback on the content in the education sessions and the opportunity to source new products from both shows and we thank our exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, attendees, media partners, supporting organizations and partners who helped to make these events a huge success.” “This annual show and expo are so important to the state’s restaurant industry, which supports hundreds of thousands of hard-working New Yorkers, and we are thrilled we were able to be back in person,” added Melissa Fleischut, CEO & President of the New York State Restaurant Association, sponsor of the event. “We were also thrilled to welcome Mayor Eric Adams to the event and give him an opportunity to address our members, meet with dozens of exhibitors and sample some of the new plant-based food and beverage items that were showcased in the exhibit hall.” Below are the highlights and the winners from the various events.
