Foodies flock to DUMBO for Brooklyn Historical Society’s Brooklyn Bounty
Celebration Raises Funds for Brooklyn Historical Society
Foodies flocked to DUMBO Wednesday night to visit Brooklyn Bounty, a celebration of local food and spirits hosted by the Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS).
Organizers expected at least 400 guests, but it certainly seemed like more attended, as crowds packed 26 Bridge Street. There, they could try dozens of different dishes prepared by local chefs and purveyors, including Junior’s Restaurant, the Red Hook Lobster Pound, Taco Santo, the ReConnect Café and Brooklyn Oenology, among others.
“The best part of this is that we are applying these resources directly to building the BHS as the institution that preserves and explains the history of Brooklyn right down to the present day,” said Jim Rossman, chairman of BHS.
In addition to showcasing some of the great local food of Brooklyn, the Historical Society also presented its heritage awards.
