Where do Jewish pilgrims go during Sukkot?
Since the destruction of the Temple 2000 years ago, there has been no requirement to make a pilgrimage. While the Temple still stood, there was a Torah-command to go there for Passover, Shavuoth and Sukkot (Deuteronomy 16). Some people journey to Jerusalem (specifically to the Western Wall) during any one or more of the above festivals, but this is not presently an obligation.See also:Jewish festivals
What is the biblical purpose regarding the different types of festivals?
The Jewish festivals are to be found in Leviticus ch.23. Every one of them has as its purpose "remembering the Exodus from Egypt" (as stated in our prayers and the kiddush over wine). In addition, Passover is a thanksgiving to God for the barley-harvest, Shavuoth is a thanksgiving to God for the wheat-harvest, and Sukkoth is a thanksgiving to God for the ingathering of grain. Shavuoth also celebrates the Giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai, and Sukkoth remembers God having protected us in the wilderness. It may also be noted that it is instinctive and a moral and emotional need and imperative to celebrate in front of God every so often. This was Cain's motivation in making his offering in Genesis ch.4 without having been commanded. Had God not given us the Torah-festivals listed above, we might instinctively seek out those of the Canaanites, which the Torah warns against (Exodus 34:15) immediately before listing the Jewish festivals (in the following verses).

How does Shavuot illustrate the commitment to the Sinai Covenant?
The Exodus from Egypt, and the first celebration of Passover the same night (Exodus ch.12) was about two months before the covenant at Sinai (Exodus ch.19 and 24). The connection is that the Exodus, as great as it was, served as just a backdrop and preparation for an even greater event, which was when God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai (the Sinai covenant).
What foods do Jews eat in their religious celebrations?
On Shabbos (Sabbath), bread, wine, meat and fish are usually served; other foods are optional. On Pesach (Passover), matzoh takes the place of bread; and wine is served, as are bitter herbs, an unspecified vegetable (Karpas), and charoset (a mixture of apples, wine, chopped nuts and cinnamon). After these, the usual meat and fish are served; other foods are optional. On Shavuoth, besides the festive meals (similar to Shabbos), a dairy meal is served. On Rosh Hashanah, besides the usual festive meal, an apple slice dipped in honey is served. On Tu Bishvat, fruits are served.
