The 2nd Annual Vendy Awards

Attend this pushcart vendor awards party, and you'll get an open beer/wine bar, plus 2.5hrs to glut yourself on New York's finest dogs, tacos, and kebobs. Awards finalists receive the highest honor a street-meat slinger can hope for: the opportunity to cook indoors.

Culture: The NYC Horror Film Festival

The NYC Horror Film Festival

If you're hungry for a truly terrifying horror flick (i.e., one that doesn't feature former WB stars), check out this five-night fest of nouveau-gore cinema. Between the ten features and numerous shorts, you're sure to find something that freaks you, whether it's demonic possession, zombification, or, creepiest of all, Lou Diamond Phillips. For reals.

Food: Sunburnt Cow 3rd Anniversary

Sunburnt Cow 3rd Anniversary

This Aussie bar's daylong extravaganza starts with a live "Yabby" race, wherein Australian crayfish are auctioned off to spectators before scurrying on to glory. Later that night, the Yabs will be grilled and devoured as part of a free BBQ dinner -- the moral being that, no matter how fast you are, you can never outrun your own deliciousness.

Food: Gordon Ramsay at The London

Gordon Ramsay at The London

While the hilariously abusive Hell's Kitchen host's first American restaurant doesn't debut until next month, the reservation line opened up today for anyone hoping to bypass the Hobbesian brutality of getting a table. At right, we capture Gordon in a moment of serenity, right before he told a small child that there was no tooth fairy.
