Ninth annual Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint benefits local nonprofits
Foodie fest catches many vendors by surprise as crowds leave pantries bare
North Brooklyn’s ninth annual Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint on Sunday was so successful, it had vendors scrambling well before its afternoon finale.
“We had enough to make more than 500 tostadas,” said Rayna Hipp of Lorimer Street’s Zona Rosa Tacqueria. “We ran out by 2 p.m.”
It was quite a contrast to the year before when, according to Hipp, the tacqueria presented only about 300 tostadas. Momentarily disappointed customers hovered nearby, hoping restaurant staff would return quickly with comestible reinforcements.
