Taking a walk around Industry City in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and passing Makerbot home on your way to tasting (judging?) some of the best street food New York City has to offer sounds like a great plan for a Saturday afternoon.

You can do just that by attending NYC Vendy Awards 2013 taking place at that very location on September 7 from 2:30 pm to 7:00 pm.

For food groupies, some food celebrities will be there, among them:

Celebrity chefs: Sara Jenkins (Best Market Vendor Finalist Porchetta); Lisa Fernandes (Rookie of the Year Finalist Sweet Chili); former WD-50 pastry chef Sam Mason (Best Dessert Finalist OddFellows); Rocco DiSpirito (Hurricane Sandy Vendor Hero).

Awards will be given at 6:30 pm.
