Okay, ExtraMooga Sounds Kind of Awesome

We stopped our yammering about music and food fest the Great GoogaMooga after all the free tickets were given out last month (actually, we just learned more tix will be released April 24; keep your eye here), but now a rep sends word of something called ExtraMooga, a “food & drink lover’s wonderland.” They’re not kidding: In a ticketed, roped-off corner of Prospect Park, pretty much every name in New York food and drink (and beyond) will host some kind of event. You can hang with, you know, David Chang, Ruth Reichl, Aziz Ansari, and James Murphy; see April Bloomfield present her cookbook; attend a Blue Ribbon fried-chicken party or a Corkbuzz wine “Speedtasting.” Maybe you’d prefer a lesson on breaking down fish from Morimoto, or oyster shucking with the John Dory? Plus, some of the eateries participating in the fest will dole out grub throughout the day. ExtraMooga runs Saturday, May 19, through Sunday, May 20. It’s $250, but if you’ve got the dough, this may be worth it. See highlights below and toggle over to the website for tickets and more details.
