Taste of Tribeca 2011

Filed under Event, Featured, Food & Beverage, Review

One of the various great things about NYC in the warm spring and summer months is all the awesome food festivals going on. Totally makes dealing with the humidity and having your face in someone’s sweaty armpits on the subway a little bit more tolerable.

Which brings us to announce the Taste of Tribeca happening on Saturday, May 21st, 2011! Hit the streets of Tribeca and taste some of the best foods you can find in the city. AND, getting a ticket helps raise money for PS 150 and PS 234’s arts and enrichment programs. We had a blast last year, so it’s a must on our list once again!

Yours,
