History

The New York City Wine and Food Festival (NYCWFF) began in 2007 as a one-night event called SWEET. The following year, founder and director Lee Brian Schrager expanded the event, transforming it into the renowned NYCWFF. The festival supports God's Love We Deliver, the sole provider of life-sustaining meals and nutrition counseling for New Yorkers with severe illnesses. Over the past 16 years, the festival has raised over $14.8 million in net proceeds for its charitable initiatives.
