The last station had awesome music (all of our college classics were playing), more booze, and more delicious food. \u00a0One of the things I have noticed from many food festivals is that you spend more time waiting in line than eating. Not the case with Meatopia NYC. \u00a0The lines moved very fast and there was no wait for drinks. \u00a0Best organization I have seen in a food festival so far.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n7XlcVbfKuQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Food: \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>There was plenty to taste at Meatopia NYC and not enough space in our bellies. \u00a0There were local favorites such as Hill Country Barbecue and others who came as far as Vieques, Puerto Rico such as El Blok. \u00a0We loved the take on the cubano \u00a0sandwich at Asia de Cuba with juicy pork and plantain chips. \u00a0Another fave was the brisket from El Blok. \u00a0From the juicy hot beef tongue sandwich from Harry and Ida&#8217;s Meat and Supply Co. to smoky chicken tacos from Johnny Sanchez, there was plenty of variety for the meat lovers out there. \u00a0Vegetarians need not apply&#8230;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2477\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2477\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/diningtraveler.com\/2015\/10\/meatopia-nyc.html\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?fit=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,533\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5300&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1445189799&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;19.05032704&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;6400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.001&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"New York City Food and Wine Festival Meatopia NYC Asia de Cuba\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The cuban sandwich from Asia de Cuba&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?fit=696%2C464&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2477\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?resize=696%2C464&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Meatopia NYC Asia de Cuba\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?resize=696%2C464&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/new-york-city-food-and-wine-festival-meatopia-nyc-asia-de-cuba.jpg?resize=630%2C420&amp;ssl=1 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2477\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cuban sandwich from Asia de Cuba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em><strong>The Verdict:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Meatopia NYC is definitely worth the $175 price tag given that you will have three uninterrupted hours of delicious food and drinks. \u00a0My best friend said about the event: &#8220;the people were so friendly, you felt encouraged to eat&#8221;. \u00a0I agree 100%. \u00a0Great views, friendly staff\/guests, open bar, and endless meat&#8230; what else can you ask for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend, foodies descended upon New York City for\u00a0Meatopia NYC,\u00a0the world&#8217;s most famous meat festival. \u00a0This \u00a0annual festival, created and envisioned by the late carnivorous visionary,\u00a0Josh Ozersky, a James Beard Award-winning food writer.
