A Decade of de Gustibus
Taste of the Seaport Marks Ten Years on Saturday
The Taste of the Seaport annual food-apalooza, which raises funds for the Peck Slip and Spruce Street Schools, will celebrate its tenth anniversary tomorrow (October 19) at the South Street Seaport, on Piers 16 and 17 (along the East River waterfront, near Fulton Street), from noon to 3:00 pm. Among the 40-plus highly regarded local restaurants participating this year will be Antique Gararage, Barbalu, Blue Ribbon Federal Grill, Cut By Wolfgang Puck, Honey Badger, Il Brigante, Malibu Farm, and Suteishi. Adults are also invited to enjoy wine and beer. For kids, entertainment will be provided by live music, plus activities from Manhattan Youth, the Church Street School for Music and Art, Brooklyn Game Lab, Brooklyn Robot Factory, Jewish Learning Experience, Modern Martial Arts, and the Craft Studio. Sponsored by the Howard Hughes Corporation (which is redeveloping the Seaport neighborhood, in partnership with the City) and New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, Taste of the Seaport began in 2009 as the much smaller Taste of Front Street. It has since evolved and grown with the surrounding neighborhood, and now welcomes thousands of guests each autumn. Ticket prices start at $45 for a packet of five “tastes,” of one of which is redeemable for a small plate of the fare being served up by each participating restaurant. All proceeds go to support arts and enrichment programs at Peck Slip School and Spruce Street. For more information, or to purchase tickets, please browse www.tasteoftheseaport.org
