What All the Hip Sugar Plum Fairies Are Up to This Weekend

sugar-sweets-cupcake-2012New Yorkers with a sweet tooth: you may now begin rejoicing. This Sunday, October 21 is the 3rd Annual Havemeyer Sugar Sweets Festival, a bacchanal of sugary goodness benefitting the City Reliquary. (For those of you who aren’t familiar with the City Reliquary, it’s a cool museum devoted to quirky New York artifacts. Ever wanted to see a display of paint chips from the L train or a set of dentures recovered from Dead Horse Bay? You’re in luck.)

Both bakers and eaters of sweet things are welcome at the festival, so head down to the intersection of Havemeyer and Metropolitan in Williamsburg on Sunday and check it out. Even if you don’t happen upon the PitchKnives jam on offer, there will be plenty of treats for sale, as well as contests like the Best Booze-Infused Dessert, Best Sweet Slice and Best Fall-Flavored Treat judged by professional confectioners. Check out all the details here.
