It was with high hopes for spicy seafood and fun that Gothamist trekked to the waterfront of DUMBO this past Sunday to partake in The First NYC Tiger Beer Singapore Chili Crab Festival. And while Gothamist is most definitely a sucker for a street fair, we were disappointed to find that by 2:30pm (only a third of the way through the 6-hour festival) all the chili crabs had sold out. Still on offer were butter crabs, chicken with peanut sauce, beef with coconut milk sauce, hot dogs, hamburgers, and a soupy red dessert. Unfortunately, the food and beer lines were confusing and tremendously long, making Gothamist newly appreciative of your more run-of-the-mill street fair in which you can grab and go.

In the spirit of bringing the essence and excitement of Singapore to the New York area, the festival will be a day filled with art, entertainment, and delicious ethnic cuisine.

There will be bands, dragon dancing, and kickboxing demonstrations, but best of all, spicy chili crabs, the national dish of Singapore. Get ready for some major finger-lickin'! You can get there free via the water taxi -- details on the website. Water Street between Dock and Main, 12-6 pm, rain or shine.
