Saturday @GoogaMooga @MrEddieHuang
Brooklyn’s Prospect Park was a ZOO this weekend. For those of you who were at Electric Daisy, I dare say we MIGHT have had more fun.
The first ever Great Googa Mooga took place and there was, what we Chinese call – People mountain, People Sea. A whole lotta folks!
The stage had an incredible lineup of music like the Roots

The overall feedback was that there was a LOT of walking and lining up but with the sunny weather and friends to keep you company, GoogaMooga was a huge success and exactly what New York needed! Fresh talent, great music and phenomenal food.
Thanks for a delicious weekend Brooklyn!

What to wear to @GoogaMooga (in 5 Days)
Getting ready for the biggest AMUSEMENT PARK OF FOOD & DRINK Brooklyn has ever seen? In 5 days, the Great Googa Mooga will take place! Here is what you should wear considering it will be at Prospect Park and that you will be consuming a lot of food and drinks.
LOOK #1: Swallowtail dress is perfect so you won’t get grass imprints on your butt when you sit down! Also, boots are great because you will be on your feet all day. Don’t forget to accessorize.
LOOK #2: A trapeze top is perfect to hide your very full belly! Pair with cute flats and your sunnies. Wear a dark color so that the sauce and wine you spill will be totally unnoticeable.
The wine tasting tent features over 100 wines from around the world, presented by the Winemakers, Importers, and Regions. Paul Grieco, of Hearth Restaurant, Terroir, and Summer of Riesling leads a venerable team of New York’s top sommeliers who will be on hand to expertly guide us through the weekend of wine tasting. Grieco is known for his cult-like worship of Riesling, and fearless promotion of wines that express a strong sense of place, regardless of popular opinion.
Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a taste size or glass size of over 100 wines at the Winery, Importer, and Regional tasting stations under the tent. This is an unparalleled wine tasting experience featuring the people behind the wines.

8 Days til @GoogaMooga
On May 19th & 20th, 2012, Brooklyn’s historic Prospect Park will transform into an amusement park of food and drink, The Great GoogaMooga. Approximately 75 food vendors, 35 brewers, 30 winemakers and 20 live music performances will be on hand to help us relish some of life’s greatest pleasures—gathering with friends and neighbors to eat, drink, talk, laugh, dance, linger and just . . . be together.We envision a place where the best chefs and purveyors can serve their food and bring about instant elation. Where everyday food lovers can discover and share amazing new tastes, and where the right slice of pizza can be as treasured/praiseworthy as four-star fois-gras.
And with such an inclusive feel that it will appeal to everyone who eats.
In order to take this idea from the imagined to reality, we reached out to a team of collaborators, contributors, dreamers and tinkerers that includes Anthony Bourdain (author and host of No Reservations), David Rockwell (founder & CEO of the Rockwell Group), Tom Colicchio (chef & judge of Top Chef), Garrett Oliver (brewmaster of the Brooklyn Brewery), Paul Grieco (sommelier/co-owner of Terroir & Hearth), Eddie Huang (chef/owner of Baohaus) and several others.
As the presenters behind some of today’s most successful festivals, we’ve been inspired by the rich food traditions of New Orleans where Superfly got its start, the stick-to-your-ribs goodness of Tennessee down home cooking at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and the vibrant flavor of the Bay Area’s Californian cuisine, wine and produce which is omnipresent at Golden Gate Park’s Outside Lands Festival.
After a quick look around, there was no question but to hold The Great GoogaMooga in New York, amid Brooklyn’s swagger, enthusiasm, and adventurousness and of course, in beautiful Prospect Park. Already America’s food capital, New York is experiencing a culinary revolution that is transforming a whole generation into food enthusiasts. (“Food,” noted one critic, “is the new rock.”)
