Who: More than fifty restaurants, bars, breweries, and wineries in Williamsburg and Greenpoint
What: Sixth annual culinary festival Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint
Where: Northside Town Hall Community and Cultural Center in the former Engine 212 Firehouse, 134 Wythe Ave.
When: Sunday, September 13, $35, $55, $85, 1:00 – 5:00
Why: It wasn’t so long ago that the thought of “tasting” Williamsburg and Greenpoint was not the most appetizing of possibilities. But the culinary revolution in Brooklyn keeps spreading, and on Sunday, September 13, you can sample food and drink from more than fifty purveyors of edibles and potent potables from the neighborhood at the sixth annual Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint. Among those establishments that will be dishing out delights in East River State Park are Delaware and Hudson, Café Moto, Hope Garage, Juliette, Le Fond, Lilia, the Meatball Shop, MP Taverna, Pies ‘N’ Thighs, Randolph, St. Mazie, Sweetwater, and Zona Rosa. There are three ticket packages: The Bedford ($35) gets you four tastes and two drinks, the Roebling ($55) eight tastes and four drinks, and the Kent ($85) ten tastes, five drinks, a VIP gift, and access to the VIP area. There will be live music as well. All proceeds benefit the Northside Town Hall Community and Cultural Center on Wythe Ave., which seeks to “provide a permanent home to neighborhood social justice organizations for continued advocacy and direct services to Williamsburg and Greenpoint [and to foster] civic and cultural engagement with original arts programming and community gatherings.”
