In the height of good weather, food and festivity abound, and right about now, I'm wishing I could teleport myself around the United States. First I'd hit up Manhattan for Wine 2.0's wine sampling this week, followed by the Shrimp & Grits Festival in Georgia, and then some classic Eli's cheesecake in the Windy City. Don't miss out on these events — if you do, you'll have to wait another year!

oooh i totally didn't know about Wine 2.0 here in NYC tomorrow - i'm going to talk to some friends and see if we can go tomorrow - PERFECT timing!
i'm actually sad since i was in Maryland this weekend and i didn't realize that the wine festival was coming up this coming weekend. oh well. at least i made a nice tour of wineries on my own.
1I know it's not a big city/town, but here's one to add to the list for the Bay Area folk. Redwood City, CA (30min south of SF and 30min north of SJ) is having a Salsa Festival. Here is the link for more info:

3You're welcome!
