Foodies flock to ‘TASTE Williamsburg Greenpoint’ to indulge in Brooklyn’s best grub
More than 1,500 foodies flocked to Williamsburg’s East River State Park on Sunday to enjoy a taste of Brooklyn’s finest restaurants, bars, breweries and wineries at “TASTE Williamsburg Greenpoint” (Taste WG), an annual showcase of North Brooklyn’s elite eateries.
Entering its seventh year, this block party-like event hosted more than 40 of North Brooklyn’s most popular restaurants and an additional 40 vendors, sponsors, performers and community partners.
In addition to showcasing some of the borough’s best food and drink, the affair also aims to tighten North Brooklyn’s community. Funds from the event went toward renovating the former Engine Co. 212 Firehouse, which will be restored and used as a meeting hall for community groups in North Brooklyn.
