"Does exploring one of New York City&amp;#039;s top food destinations with the likes of Alton Brown appeal to you? How about sharing milk and cookies with Martha Stewart?   Clear your calendar for October if either of those, or a slew of other food-centered activities with Food Network&amp;#039;s most popular hosts, grab you. The third annual Food Network New York City Wine and Food Festival is scheduled for Oct. 7-10 and there are plenty of events to choose from. Tickets are probably going to go fast.  Benefitting the Food Bank of New York City and Share Our Strength, a national non-profit working to end childhood hunger in the United States, the celeb-and-food-fest has grown to more than 120 events over the four-day celebration. Events includes activities for kids, wine and food pairing seminars and, of course, plenty of events hosted by top-rated chefs from around the world and Food Network&amp;#039;s favorite cooks such as Meatball Madness, hosted by Giada De Laurentiis, wherein more than 20 chefs are expected to compete to produce an award-winning meatball.  There. Your Columbus Day weekend plans are settled. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
