This year’s sixth annual NYC Wine & Food Festival, sponsored by Food Network and presented by Food & Wine , will take place from October 17 through 20, but this morning we have a sneak preview of this year’s programming and lineup of visiting chefs. The big news is that the chef-blockbuster event is moving, for the most part, to midtown, specifically to Pier 92 and Pier 94. Events will also take place at the Hudson hotel, and a dinner series featuring chefs such as Alex Atala, Ivan Orkin, Daniel Humm, and David Kinch will go down at various locations throughout the city. Pretty much all of the Festival’s signature events are back. Sadly, there won’t be another epic roast of Anthony Bourdain this time out, but don’t let that stop you from checking out some more details, and information on how to get tickets, straight ahead.

There will once again be a critical mass of Food Network hosts, namely Guy Fieri — who is hosting a Rock of Ages party — Anne Burrell, Paula Deen, Rachael Ray, and Giada De Laurentiis, who is hosting an event dubbed the “Italian Paradise Dinner.” Ray will once again preside over the Blue Moon Burger Bash, which is presented, once again, by Pat LaFrieda Meats — this year, however, the late-night meat frenzy will take place at Pier 92.

The event’s Bank of America Dinner Series will take place at at venues throughout New York City, and includes an incredible roster of talent:

• “I Love NY” hosted by Daniel Humm & Will Guidara

Yardbird Hong Kong Dinner hosted by Matt Abergel
