DATE: FRIDAY APRIL 13. 5:30pm to 9:00pm.
It is undeniably the best gourmet food and fine wine tasting and restaurant-marketing event in the entire NYC metro area! It is the tasting event of the year that previous attendees called "The Best Evening of Food, Wine, and Entertainment anywhere"!
The City of Rahway’s tasting events started 10 years ago with just 12 eateries and wine sold by the glass with 100 attendees. It is now an event that takes up the entire site of the Arts District Recreation Center, and spills over into adjoining tents. The event hosts over 80 fine gourmet eateries, caterers, and food vendors from the Rahway metro area stretching across three counties. Included you will find well over two dozen fine wine/boutique beer/aperitif tasting stations with vendors of national stature. You will have a memorable gourmet food experience while having the opportunity to savor tastings of over 150 top shelf wine selections.
Returning this year will be the “Battle of The Bakeries” - top area pastry chefs will vie to win "Best Dessert" and also for the title "Best Rahway Metro Area Bakery". This is in addition to our usual annual food competition. Experience fresh mozzarella being cooked up and made on the spot, various ethnic delights, gourmet candies, fabulous ice cream fresh from a local producer, exotic presentations, and just plain fabulous home cooking.
Relax in a spring garden atmosphere and move to the music of three different entertainment offerings, and after you indulged in our gastronomic event, check out the new Art Show and Sale. On your way out, pick up some of your favorite tastings to take home from vendors who will be offering take-home portions for sale.
See our new after-the-tasting event specials in downtown Rahway for fun after the Taste. Get your tickets soon, and definitely before the event, to save money. Finally remember to bring non-perishable foods for our Food Bank food drive and share with someone less fortunate.
On behalf of myself and the Taste Committee,
Mangia & Bon Appetit!
