The 7th Annual New Taste of the Upper West Side food festival will take place May 27, 30, and 31, to raise funds for the Columbus Avenue BID sustainable streetscape project, the Wellness in the Schools program, and the Theodore Roosevelt Park Fund.

Included in the line-up are Food Network’s Alex Guarnaschelli and Travel Channel’s Adam Richman, overseeing 40 restaurants that will be competing on May 30 for the title of the year’s Best Comfort Dish. (That honor went to Christina Tosi of Momofuku Milk Bar last year.) 

Restaurants participating in the food festival include: Lincoln, Boulud Sud, Gabriel’s Bar and Restaurant, Loi, Jean-Georges, Tavern on the Green, and Tessa.

Prices range $105–$225.
