Wordplay, I’m a little upset I actually read your entire post. It was pretty awkward and difficult to read.

Excellent bit of PR, but, I feel I must add, not really a review. Yes, a great introduction to the food vendors—the “craftspeople weren’t worth the time of day—but the reality for the hungry visitor, at least on Saturday at 3:00, was not quite as pleasing, if for no other reason most of the food was gone. To sample what was left, would have required standing in long crooked lines, while fair goers, making the circuit, careened off of you. Even then one was uncertain of getting a bite of anything, when my turn came up. Did I want a bagel for Montreal, I would if there was lox, there wasn’t lox, but a sign that said, “No more lox.” Finding a Bagel on the Lower East Side does not require a diving rod.

The fair itself, could be considered a success if numbers are the criteria. Perhaps I’m too old for this sort of thing, but I did not enjoy being penned in, with a thousand other people. After making the circuit itself, we went to Oriental Garden on Elizabeth for a little dim sum. After 3:00 the selection is limited, but what they had was good.

The food was delicious- but unfortunately a lot of vendors were sold out by the time my friends and I got arrived and the crowds were outrageous (good for the vendors!). Still had fun. Food pictures- http://www.itsallfare.com/2010/04/hester-street-fair.html

Jolie,
That’s a great question! I’ll get in touch with my contacts and see if I can get you an answer. Stay tuned. One thing I can advise is the earlier you get there, the better.
