This year’s event will also be in conjunction with the New York’s Best Barista competition. We’re looking for a barista that is committed to excellence in coffee making and who goes above and beyond to make an impact in their community. New Yorkers will be invited to vote for their local barista and the winner will be announced at The New York Coffee Festival. The winning barista will receive a trip to London, Paris, or Milan, where they will be able to make coffee with top international baristas. Those who vote will be entered for a chance to win tickets to The New York Coffee Festival.
 
In addition to offering delicious street food, coffee cocktails, live music and coffee-inspired art, 100% of profits are donated to Project Waterfall, partnering with NYC-based charity: water to deliver life-changing water projects in coffee-growing regions.
