The 18th Annual Kosherfest

The annual two day Expo in which food vendors and distributors gather in the Jacob K. Javits Center and display their produces and services brought out around 285 different companies. Though significantly smaller then last years massive show it was a mixed bag of feelings from the exhibitors, most said that the turnout this year was not beneficial to their business while few others said that they felt that the new configuration helped somewhat.

Last year the Expo spanned across the entire floor, this year it took up only a half, leaving space for two other shows, the Asian and Latina food expos, which some vendors said that helped bring in a more diversified crowed and get more exposure for kosher foods.

Lubavitch owned companies on hand this were included DUSO food Distributors, Rubashkins Aarons Best Poultry, OK Kashrus and NY Pasta.

    I didn’t make it this year – was it really that much smaller than last year’s expo? Last year’s expo was really not that big either.

    It was really beautiful. Hundreds of people attended. Food was copious and delicious.Samples were given very graciously. Every distributor had different booths with more food to taste. From the best wines to the best cookies,Knishes,hot dogs,fish,crackers, nuts,Chocolate, a lot of Israeli food etc. It was a lot of fun. It was a very busy and well attended.
