The New York Coffee Festival returns to celebrate the Big Apple's specialty coffee scene. Percolating with flavors from dozens of roasters, there'll be plenty of tastings and demos from world-class baristas, interactive workshops, street food, coffee-based cocktails, live music, art exhibitions and much more. Whether you favor espresso, a nice Ethiopian drip or matcha, there's a brew for you at Metropolitan Pavilion. Grab your pour of choice and watch pros take part in the fast-paced barista competition, Coffee Masters NYC. And if you opt for the VIP ticket, you'll also get fast-track entry, a token for a free espresso martini, a copy of The New York Coffee Guide 2018 and a commemorative tote bag. 100% of this year's proceeds are being donated to Project Waterfall, a charity that aims to bring clean water to coffee-growing communities around the world.
