A Sunday afternoon at Sushi-Con

Sushi-Con brought a large crowd to Pier 36 on the Lower East Side this past Sunday (Oct. 11). 

True World Foods and Noble Fresh Cart hosted the event, which featured seafood tastings, sushi vendors, and restaurant partners.

The main attraction was a live bluefin tuna-cutting demonstration, with chefs breaking down an entire fish before the crowd...

And there was quite a crowd. 

By 11:45 a.m., just 45 minutes after the event opened, the space was already packed, with long lines forming for food samples.

Here are a few photos from the rainy afternoon...
