It’s become more than just a trend for neighborhoods all over the five boroughs to host culinary events featuring signature dishes from local restaurants. Now Gramercy Park is getting in on the action with the inaugural Taste of Gramercy. On October 12 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, more than two dozen eateries will be serving food, including Gramercy Tavern, L’Express, Friend of a Farmer, Big Daddy’s Branded, City Crab, Dos Caminos, Ichabod’s, One Lucky Duck, Ponty Bistro, Paul & Jimmy’s, Pure Food and Wine, Wildwood Barbeque, and Casa Mono. Tickets, which are good for five tastings, are $40 in advance and $50 on the day of the event, with part of the proceeds benefiting such local schools as PS 40 and School of the Future, with any leftover food going to the Bowery Mission.
