Come one, Come all! This fall it's a Pickle Ball! Round up the gang and get ready for another brine-soaked Pickle Day. The street will once again be transformed into a scene out of 1930s LES when barrels full of pickles and pushcarts truly lined the streets. This year’s foodie festival will feature a number of newbies – first time friends of Pickle Day, including Epic Pickles, Brooklyn Whatever and Kilhaney's. They’ll be set up alongside Pickle Day faves and originals such as Pickle Guys, Pickle Me Pete and Horman's Best Pickles. If cukes ain’t yo thang, Pickle Day promises many more brine soaked munchies including kimchee, mushrooms, slaw and beets to go along with the beats from our stage programmed by the LES’s own Louie and Chan. If you have no time for brine, the streets will also be filled with 30+ local food and fashion vendors including The Meatball Shop, Melt Bakery, Sweet Buttons Desserts and Askan.
