The Queens Economic Development Corporation and the Queens Tourism Council are proud to announce that the borough’s premiere food-and-networking event — Queens Taste 2016 — will take place at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 3, from 6 pm to 9 pm.
The reasons to attend this 14th annual extravaganza are as many as the ethnicities in the world’s most diverse borough. Foodies can expect everything from creamy to crunchy, fiery to flaky, and savory to sweet. For example, Flushing’s Mulan. Plus, clients of the Entrepreneur Space, a food-and-business incubator that QEDC operates in Long Island City, will give away samples of their artisan specialties. Then there are the drinks. The Wine Store of Forest Hills headlines a beverage group that includes locally made Queens Courage gin and caffeinated products from Coffeed. For sweets, Sabatino Store will offer truffles and the Paleo Factory will give out a dairy-free, gluten-free, date-sweetened chilled
mouse.
Finally, there’s the networking. Most of the 700 expected attendees either live in Queens or do business in the borough (or both). So Queens Taste 2016 provides the perfect scene to meet like- minded individuals, talk shop, and exchange business cards in a friendly atmosphere.
Queens Taste 2016 costs $125 per ticket. More information and purchasing options are at www.thequeenstaste.com.
