In honor of its tenth anniversary, the Latke Festival — one of New York City’s tastiest holiday happenings — has chosen Moovit as its official transportation partner for the event in Brooklyn on December 3.
Moovit will make it easy for attendees to get to the event using its #1 public transit app for step-by-step directions using the subway, bus, bike-share, ride-share and ferry, so they can spend more time tasting the luscious Latkes than figuring out how to get there.
Attendees are able to plan their journey using the free-to-download Moovit app or by clicking here https://moovit.me/Latke_Festival. Moovit also will provide in-app pop-ups to local users to help them find their way to the event.
The Latke Festival is a benefit for The Sylvia Center, the nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching children and their families in underserved communities cooking and nutrition through hands-on experiences on the farm and in the kitchen. It will take place at the Brooklyn Museum from 6.00pm – 8:30pm and be presented by Great Performances, the acclaimed New York-based catering and events company. The evening will showcase more than 25 latke creations, from the classic to the decadently imaginative, by chefs from such establishments as: Benchmark; Daddy O’s; Dutch Boy Burger; FONDA; FryGuys; Jacob’s Pickles; Korso; Kulushkat; Mama O’s; The Norm; Riss’s Knishes; Shelsky’s of Brooklyn; Veselka; and White Tiger.
“Lip-smacking latkes in support of culinary education — what’s not to love about Moovit being chosen as the official transportation partner for the 10th Annual Latke Festival?” said Moovit’s VP of Global Communications Steve Swasey. “With the holidays coming up, this is the perfect way to start the festive cheer — and suspend your diet — while supporting a very worthy cause. Moovit is proud to serve the local community in one of the largest of the 2,600 cities Moovit operates in worldwide.”
