- By: Julianne Elise Beffa
Taste & Tequila…
Clear your schedule, call your foodie crew, and come hungry—because NYC is about to get a serious flavor upgrade. For the first time ever, the Complex Family Style Food Festival is touching down in the Big Apple, and it’s coming in hot. The one-day-only event is happening Saturday, May 17 at Industry City in Brooklyn, and trust us—you’ll want to be there when the city’s tastiest, trendiest, and most tequila-infused food fest lights up the waterfront.
Margs & Margs: A Match Made in Culinary Heaven
Let’s start with the main event: “Margs & Margs,” the mouthwatering collab between Casamigos and the local pizza royalty over at Jonny’s Pizza. What do you get when you pair the crisp perfection of a Margherita slice with a chilled Casamigos margarita? A culinary crossover so delicious, it deserves its own IG carousel. It’s NYC slice culture meeting beachy tequila vibes—and we are 100% here for it.
And that’s just the beginning. Casamigos is rolling deep this weekend with a full-on branded experience: custom-crafted cocktails, exclusive merch drops (think: trucker hats, limited-edition tees, bandanas, and even cocktail shakers), and a chill zone where the summer buzz starts early and ends never.
Hosted by Viral Food King Keith Lee
TikTok foodies, rejoice—your favorite food critic Keith Lee is hosting the whole shebang. Known for turning humble eats into national sensations, Keith is bringing his signature charm, honesty, and unmatched palate to Family Style for the first time. If he’s cosigning it, you know it’s good.
Expect Keith to be sampling bites, meeting fans, and spotlighting local gems alongside some of the country’s most exciting culinary talent. Translation: Come hungry and come ready to discover your next food obsession.
The Ultimate Culture Collab
Food may be the main attraction, but don’t sleep on the fashion. Family Style isn’t just a food festival—it’s a cultural experience where streetwear and chef culture collide. The lineup includes cult-favorite brands, celebrity chefs, and one-of-a-kind food-inspired collabs that make your closet just as happy as your stomach.
Previous Family Style editions have debuted everything from ramen-themed hoodies to taco-scented candles (yes, really), and this year’s NYC debut promises exclusive drops you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re rocking a full look or just scooping up a souvenir, you’ll walk away with the drip to match your dip.
Why It’s the Hottest Ticket This Weekend
Picture this: warm weather, waterfront views, a margarita in one hand, a Margherita slice in the other, surrounded by fellow food lovers, music, merch, and a festival energy that screams summer is officially here.
Family Style is more than a food fest—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and the creativity that happens when fashion, flavor, and fun collide. Whether you’re a streetwear savant, a tequila loyalist, a Keith Lee stan, or just someone who really loves pizza (no judgment), this is the event to kick off your NYC summer.
Don’t Miss It
The Complex Family Style Food Festival goes down Saturday, May 17 at Industry City, Brooklyn. Doors open at noon, and you’ll want to show up early—between the merch, the eats, and the buzz, things will move fast.
So bring your appetite, wear something cute (and stretchy), and prepare to indulge in the most delicious day of the season. This isn’t just another food festival—it’s a whole vibe. See you there.
