    Fedde le Grand on day 1 of EDC
    Gina K.

    This is the best festival I have been to in my life. It's a 3-day electronic music festival that also features carnival rides (hence the name). I went all 3 days (originally had tickets for Saturday and Sunday, but won a Friday ticket through a contest). Travel to and from wasn't bad at all. There were several options to choose from, but I opted for the $5 bus that went from Port Authority directly to the stadium. This bus is for any big events held in MetLife Stadium. The mass exodus out of the stadium is always something to gripe about, but the lines were done VERY efficiently and everyone boarded in a neat fashion. The lines to get in were long, but it moved pretty efficiently. Luckily for me, I got there early enough on all 3 days to avoid the crazy long lines. Some of my friends took an hour when they came later. The venue was the perfect size and they even had a stage inside MetLife Stadium, which was really awesome, especially after the recent Super Bowl win for the Giants (though they didn't play here, it was still cool to be on Giants territory). All of the stages were far enough to not have much interference from neighboring stages, which was good. I tend to walk around a lot and not really settle on one stage so I can experience all of the different DJs playing. I ordered several $7 beers and 2 frozen margaritas (in those fun big tall cups!), but no food. However, there was a very big selection of cuisines to choose from. The sound was pretty amazing as well. It was a little too loud in the front of the stages, but that's sort of given. I won't really comment on the DJ's performances as that's more of a preference thing than a review for the festival. The best thing about this carnival is that they have lockers for rent. My friend and I split the $70 3-day rental and it was the best $35 I ever spent. I was able to stow away my sweater and other miscellaneous items during the festival so I could move freely. You're also allowed to keep things in the locker overnight if you get the 3-day rental, which was perfect for the eye drops I was forced to buy at the general store, since they didn't allow us to bring any in. A semi-little known fact (I say semi because the lines were still pretty long) was that there were bathrooms available for use in the stadium (2 separate womens bathrooms, to be exact). After I figured this out on the second day, I only used these bathrooms instead of the gross port-a-potty bathrooms. The stadium bathrooms were surprisingly clean. The lines were a little bit longer, but it was definitely worth the wait. The carnival attractions are pretty cool, too. They had a bunch of random exhibits and rides. The rides were pretty fun and a nice little rest from all of the dancing. Overall, this was a VERY fun experience for me and if they decide to have another EDC, I'm definitely in.

    Get to the Chase: Pros: 1) AMAZING sets, (Armin killed it) 2) Great venue (Large enough to not feel unable to move, small enough to get to all the stages in a reasonable walking distance) 3) Flawless execution (no disruptions like what happened EDC Vegas 2012) 4) Affordable (not daylight robbery prices like Sensation or Ultra) 5) Plentiful water stations Cons: 1) Drinks and Food were clearly exploited...1 gatorade $9, 1 hotdog $6+...thank goodness for free water 2) Not allowed to keep the caps of purchased drinks...no idea why... (maybe to encourage to buy more...or to deter illicit substances???) 3) Have to have the foresight to bring your own canteen/camel back to refill water, otherwise buy some overpriced branded water bottle

    SO. MUCH. FUN. I'm so glad EDC came to NYC this year! It was such an amazing time, granted I only went on Saturday so I can only speak for that. The train ride to Metlife Stadium wasn't bad - probably took a total of 20some minutes? There is a transfer at Secaucus though where Police made my chug/dump my 4loko before getting on the second train to Metlife. Once you got there the line to get in is massive/chaotic/crazy. Legit mob of people trying to squeeze through. However, it actually look less time than anticipated. We probably got in within 30mins? There are lines for everything, bathrooms, beer, hotdogs, alcoholic slushies, rides, VIP room. Bathroom were DISGUSTING by the end of the day! Water bottles were $5, slushies were $16, I, myself, didn't buy the beer or hotdogs so I'm not sure how much they were but everything as expected was overpriced. I'd liken it to an adult Disney. The music was sickkkk though! Alesso's set was my favorite. Calvin Harris was equally amazing! My friends and I expected everything to be on grass or the field but it was all set up on the parking lot. I am going through withdrawal right now. Ugh, can't wait for next year.

    With over 100 street vendors and various trucks plus live music I am in!…read more It was such a beautiful afternoon, love this time of year to hit up a street fair. It is running until tomorrow, June 8th. You pretty much can have any kind of food you want, from regular fair food such as hot dogs, corn on the cob to exotic like Indian, Sushi and Filipino fare. We could only try so much. Upon arriving we were thirsty so we tried Bubble Tea. We ended up getting a green tea smoothie with fruit gelatin in it. It quenched our thirst and cooled us down. It came from Bubble Tea-licious & Smoothies World. Then on to El Lechon de Negro which is Puerto Rican pernil dishes. We had their version of Disco Fries. Golden fries smothered in pork gravy topped with their roasted pulled pork, onions, cilantro and mozzarella cheese. It is a must try though they have many dishes to wet any appetite. After walking around a bit checking out the many vendors and sitting near the band shell in the shade listening to one of the many bands playing this weekend we got hungry again. This time we went to the Filipino stand and tried their chicken BBQ and the pork egg rolls. I was still hungry so we then went to Filomena's stand and shared a rice ball it was hot and filled with I believe pancetta, it came with a side of marinara sauce to dip. Though I was trying my hardest to not go to my usual fair food of sausage & peppers and zeppoles I ended up caving in and bringing it home for dinner. The sandwiches, though seemingly pricey at $ 9 is well worth the price just for the sheer size of the sandwich. We also came across Mod Cup Coffee Stand in our journey, where we indulged in their hibiscus raspberry iced tea. It was very refreshing on such a hot day. Too bad it wraps up tomorrow but if you are in the area you should go and check it out. The crowds did not seem so bad and I can guarantee two things, one you won't be disappointed and two, you won't go home hungry.

So starting down towards the train station is where most of the food vendors start, working your way up from there is all the antiques, clothing, books and more. I love to start at the top because I can work my way down to the goodies and work up an appetite. This year was SUPER hot, I always recommend triple checking the weather before bringing your pups. Saw a ton of them this year huffing and puffing and I felt terrible. It's a huge street fair and they will get tired. Even kids, bring a stroller. Make your life easier! The Rutherford library was out this year and I scored some awesome cookbooks for a dollar. I also snagged some fantastic homemade candles. I love the vendors that have dog treats and clothing, I always grab some sweet potato and chicken treats. Down to the food - the best bang for your buck is Red Basil. They always have a huge stand with 5 dollar options and 3 dollar appetizers to sample. So so tasty! Such a good way to try different things on their menu too. Materas on Park always has some fantastic pasta dish to go, this year they had penne vodka in a paper cone so you can walk and enjoy your carbs. What more can we ask for? The Cuban spot and Suprema also always cook up some delicious treats. You have your standard ice cream truck, hot dogs and typical fair food but stray outside the box and try some of the awesome cuisines they offer on Park Ave. The one bad thing is parking, after 11 am it's a MAD house. Just give yourself a good half an hour to be patient and find a spot.

    I always look forward to the Rutherford Labor Day Street Fair. It always delivers! There are a…read moreplethora of vendors - crafts and food alike. There is always a small section with rides for kids. They also have a beer garden (sometimes more than one) and wine tasting. I love walking down the main street of Rutherford, checking out all the different vendors and the cool crafts / vintage items they are selling. One of my must stop places is Matera on Park. I always buy their large lemonade (which is a cheap $2.50 and comes in a very large circular tupperware cup of sorts). It's always delicious! Also, I will use their store front to hide from the heat. So far, every year I've gone to this street fair, the weather has been BRUTAL. You walk down the center of the main street, so there is obviously no shade to hide behind. This year, I stuck to the sidewalk because I brought my newborn, to hide from the sun, so I didn't get to see all the vendors I wanted. Also, I didn't stay too long this year because it was just too freaking hot - for me, for my husband, and for the kids. Regardless of me complaining about the weather, I always enjoy the vibe of the day. So many people come out to enjoy the street fair and like I said, there is plenty to look at and food to indulge in. Can't wait to go back next year!

The atmosphere and the feats of skill were most phenomenal to behold. As for the victuals, they were prepared with great mastery, seasoned to perfection and most savory. We were served a feast of roasted dragon, tubers of the earth, and sweet maize, followed by a refreshing flagon of nectar. The tournament featured six valiant Knights who didst clash upon the field of honor.

The line to get inside, the line for pictures, and even trying to find our seating created a very chaotic atmosphere. We made a reservation for 9 people but were seated for 8, which resulted in two children having to share a chair. That was disappointing and felt unfair, especially considering the cost of the experience. The show itself was entertaining and the host was very kind, but the food was just mediocre. The potato was dry, and the chicken was unevenly seasoned -- one section had an overwhelming amount of seasoning while other parts had very little. For the amount of money spent, everything felt just "okay" rather than worth the price. Leaving the venue was also stressful. Guests for the next show were entering while our crowd was trying to exit, causing everyone to crash into each other and making the experience feel even more chaotic. Overall, the kids enjoyed themselves, but as an adult, the entire experience was overstimulating and not something I would personally rush to do again.

I wish this venue was closer to me, I'd be there for every hardcore show they put on. For this show there was no barricade; I don't know if that varies from one show to another, but I was happy to see the lack of a barrier when we walked in. The security was just how you want them to be at this kind of show: present and there if needed, but not getting in anyone's way or preventing people from dancing or stagediving. There are two bars in the main area of the Black Box, one at the back, one on the side. And then merch was sold upstairs, and there's another bar there. Snack machines, and candy is also sold at at least one of the bars. I paid $7 for a 12 oz. can of Miller Lite or $9 for Corona, I'm not sure what size that was, 11 or 12 oz. I guess, one of those weird tall, skinny cans. The sound quality here is excellent. They had some lights going on during the bands' sets, but nothing too showy or intrusive. Really, just all around top-quality in terms of sound, stage setup, production. All the employees I encountered were very friendly. This was a pretty big crowd; I don't know if it was sold out or not, but the place was packed by the time AN went on. Sometimes staff can be unpleasant or just generally serious, handling this many people in a theater size venue, but these folks all seemed happy to have us there.
