With more than a touch of irony, of course. The likely inspiration for the trend is Shepard Fairey, the artist who created the Obama "Hope" campaign poster.

Photo: Jessica Torossian for BizBash On Saturday and Sunday, Pier 54 was packed with food fans for the New York Food and Wine Festival’s Grand Tasting events. Twenty-nine restaurants (30 on Sunday) served dishes ranging from small bites (Fatty Crab’s chicken wings, Convivio's chicken liver crostini) to mini entrees (Pamplona’s braised Washugyu brisket with Manchego rice and black olive sauce, Molyvos’s house-cured Scottish salmon with sumac-marinated onions and a chickpea cake) to 4,000 festival-goers, who shelled out $150 a ticket, each day. Even though it was a sunny 70 degrees, an autumnal influence could be found in ingredients like apples and butternut squash and lots of rich braised and roasted meats. Other prominent flavors on offer were mustard, duck, and seafood with tropical flavors. Here are a few examples of the dishes from Saturday’s selection.

Photo: Francine Daveta for BizBash Perhaps as a nod to spring, many designers at Diffa's Dining by Design event incorporated yellow accents into their tables this year, with shades of the color popping up as table linens, vases, statuary, and flowers. Here's a look at an array of the warm settings. MORE >> RELATED TOPICS Diffa, Diffa Dining by Design, Gourmet magazine, J.C.

Photo: Francine Daveta for BizBash A number of tables at Diffa's Dining by Design event this week employed paint chips to decorative effect: fashioning the colorful sheets into wallpaper, name cards, napkin rings, and faux floral arrangements. Here's a look at how designers repurposed this common material.
