The last World’s Fair was hosted in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in 1965 and was themed “Peace Through Understanding.” Millions of visitors attended the fair to explore the countries that were represented from around the world.

Now, more than 50 years later, Schneps Communications will be reimagining one of the most iconic fairs by hosting “The World’s Fare” at CitiField. Over 100 vendors will come together in New York City’s most diverse borough and unite through authentic food, drink and music curated by the city’s leading culinary advocates. The World’s Fare will be a grand celebration, advocating equality & diversity in the food industry, and promoting incredible male and female talent that make New York City’s food scene so unique.

The World’s Fare has formed a culinary committee co-chaired by renowned Danish chef Claus Meyer, American author, journalist and culinary historian Doctor Jessica B. Harris and Singapore based KF Seetoh who is the creator and curator of The World Street Food Congress. Meyer, Harris and Seetoh will champion and support chefs, restaurants, street food vendors and food businesses participating in the event.

“The World’s Fare is an opportunity to sample some of the finest flavors the world has to offer, all in one venue,” said celebrity chef, entrepreneur and philanthropist Meyer. “This is a unique opportunity, one that not only reflects the incredible diversity of Queens but is rooted in the passion of the many peoples who have traveled from across the globe to call this great borough home. I can’t wait to join the other passionate foodies. We are excited to discover and celebrate what is surely to be the culinary event of the year.”

“If you celebrate your affinity for world communities through its flavors via humble cooks that express their heritage and progressive cultures on an affordable platter, then this is a great celebration,” said Seetoh. “And The World’s Fare could become the finest festivals to experience it at. World street food is not just about eating off a street cart or truck, it is a culinary culture that 80% of the world feed on and enjoys regularly, across many platforms- because it resonates and bonds. Enjoy the food, and digest the culture.”

The Melting Pot Foundation USA, the nonprofit organization founded by Meyer, will be onsite at The World’s Fare to communicate the community culinary center’s mission of
offering delicious and accessible healthy foods and career training in the culinary arts. One dollar of every ticket sold will go to The Melting Pot Foundation USA and special VIP tickets will be sold to experience a food tour at The World’s Fare with Chef Meyer and food guru Seetoh.

A fantastic team of the City’s leading culinary voices have signed on to curate the diverse food offerings at The World’s Fare lead by:  Liza Mosquito deGuia, Founder, Chief Storyteller & TV Host for food. curated.  Joe DiStefano, Queens Food Writer & Adventurer, Chopsticks & Marrow  Curtiss Calleo – Founder of The Gastronauts, The Club for Adventurous Eaters  Fany Gerson – Founder & Chef of La NewYorkina & Dough  Chris Cheung – Chef/Owner, East Wind Snack Shop, Brooklyn, NY & Chef/Partner Tansuo, Nashville  Russell Jackson – TV Host & Chef of Subculture Dining  Chitra Agrawal – Founder of Brooklyn Delhi & Author of Vibrant India  Niko Triantafillou – Food Writer & Dessert Enthusiast  Michael Stewart – Director of Food Outreach, Kickstarter  Dave Cook – Photojournalist, Eating in Translation  Clarice Lam, Chef/Owner of The Baking Bean  Sonya Samuel, Founder & Owner, Bacchanal Sauce LLC

“When it comes to passion, diversity and creativity in food, there is nothing like New York City,” said Liza deGuia, the founder of food. curated. who is leading curations for the festival. “I wanted to assemble a team of local tastemakers who are experts or enthusiasts in specific cuisines, people who always aim to uncover the latest dishes and shine a light on small, specialty food businesses who are doing something different, something that expands our exposure to new cultures and flavors. Each tastemaker will hand-select vendors to cover a wide array of foods to showcase at The World’s Fare. We want the selection to be both affordable and unique with a main goal: to create wonder in bite sized experiences.”

The World’s Fare will be hosted Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29, in the parking lot of iconic Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. The ballpark is centrally located in New York City, near the 7 line and a short distance from Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The location is intended to bring back memories of the World’s Fairs of the past, by being in the shadow of the landmarks and structures that were built around them, including the Unisphere and the New York State Pavilion.

“Our political climate has never called for a greater opportunity to embrace and celebrate ethnic and cultural diversity. The Festival embraces everything great about New York City, its people and food,” said Joshua Schneps, The World’s Fare President and Organizer.

In addition to the food and drink offerings, throughout the weekend live music will be performed by bands representing about a dozen cultures as well as a SUMO demonstration from World Champions, art installations including Lego art, 4 dimensional drawings, street art and painted scripture.
Event Highlights Chefs, restaurants and street food vendors representing as many as 100 cultures.

Awards for best food determined by committee members and tastemakers.

Visitors’ choice award for top vendor determined by attendees.

The World’s Fare will be a family-friendly event running from 11am – 8pm on both days. Tickets are being sold for entry for access to vendors and activities as well as to the international beer garden in a separate, ticketed, over-21 area. Tickets are available online at www.theworldsfare.nyc. ;

‘The Man in the Red Bandana’
By Jefferson H. Crowther

Please excuse these ramblings of a proud, old father who lost one the
brightest lights in his life. This light was my dear, dear son, Welles
Remy Crowther, who at age 24 was killed when the South Tower of the
World Trade Center collapsed on him and so many other innocent victims
of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Welles was an equities
trader with Sandler-O’Neill and Partners working on the 104th floor of
WTC2. He was also a volunteer firefighter and member of Empire Hook &
Ladder Co. #1 in Upper Nyack, NY. Somehow he made his way to the 78th
floor Sky Lobby after the plane had impacted his building, and there
he found a group of people who were afraid to move. They had huddled
together and were waiting for the rescue workers to get to them. They
felt if they moved around they might fall through a hole in the floor
and be lost as the visibility was almost nil due to the dust and
smoke.. There were many injured people around them, screaming with
pain, unable to extract themselves from under the slabs of marble that
lined the hallways that had them trapped. My son, Welles, wearing a
red bandanna (which he always carried in his back pocket) to protect
himself from the dust and smoke, found them and told them that he knew
where the only open stairway was and if they could walk they should
get up now, help those whom they could, but that there were people
they could not help and that they had to go right away. His words as
quoted to us by some of the individuals who were there and survived
were “follow me, I know the way”. Welles made three trips from the
78th floor down to the 61st floor where the lights were still on and
the air was clearer. He told them to keep going down the stairs, but
he kept going back up to escort more people down. In all we have
confirmed three trips he made between the floors before he went all
the way down to the lobby. He was in the lobby ready to go back up
with a fire lieutenant and two other firefighters with the tools
necessary to lift some of the heavy debris in order to rescue more
victims. But the building did not stand and we lost our beautiful son
who cared more for others than for his own life.

There is so much more I could tell you about him, and you can read
about Welles at CrowtherTrust.org., a website for the Welles Remy
Crowther Charitable Trust, a charity we set up in his memory as a
memorial to a young man who saw his duty and did it. You can also
Google “the man in the red bandanna”.

People tell us that we raised our son too well. I respond that he was
born with the software installed. The good Lord put Welles on this
earth knowing that he would have to call on him. Unfortunately, it was
just 24 years into so promising a life.

But, we started The Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust to bring
some good out of a terrible tragedy. Through it we have been able to
work with many other agencies by making grants and gifts to help young
people become exemplary adults, whether for educational, health
related, or recreational needs. Again, I refer you to our website to
find out more about the incredible work we have accomplished. And this
proud, old father thanks you for having read about a true civilian
hero of 9/11/01.  May God bless America.
