Taste of New York With The NY Jets

By Courtney Aurillo Posted On November 12, 2014

JetNation had the honor to attend to The Taste of New York, courtesy of NRG Energy, a sponsor of the New York Jets. The annual charity event took place at 4 World Trade Center this year. Saks provided the suits for the Jets Players to model on stage. A multitude of restaurants from Manhattan and the surrounding area set up tasting booths around the room. In front of each booth stood a Jets Player, whom fans could get their autograph and take pictures with, as well as enter a raffle to win a signed helmet. There were raffles for multiple prizes ranging from private dinners with players, to one-on-on football training sessions, to Super Bowl XLIX tickets. Proceeds were donated to The Food Bank of New York City.

My passion as a Jets fan led me to be a writer for JetNation.com. Social media then grew to be a popular way for fans to see Jets news. We knew we needed to use those outlets to reach different audiences who were Jets fans. I then became the social media manager for JetNation.com.

Former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan made it clear today that he also wants to be future head coach Rex Ryan. Is it something Gang Green should consider? Jets fans seem split down the middle on that very question.
