If you had a sour taste in your mouth over the weekend, blame it on the pickles!

New Yorkers celebrated the ninth annual New York City International Pickle Day with sours, half sours, new pickles, kimchi and other vinegary delights.

More than 30 vendors flooded a parking lot on the city's Lower East Side to celebrate all things pickle. Check out Slashfood's photos after the jump.
