Good news! Annual food and drink extravaganza “Queens Taste 2020” is returning to NYC. As always, we expect it to be one of this season’s top food events. Showcasing delicious food and drinks from the famous borough, the Queens Economic Development Corporation and the Queens Tourism Council are again hosting Queens Taste — their annual fundraiser event. What can we expect from this year’s event? Firstly, it’s an “all you can eat” event. Hints as to what to expect this year are available on their website:
“Soup’s on! The Queens Economic Development Corporation and Queens Tourism Council will host Queens Taste 2025 at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 13, from 6 pm to 9 pm.
We expect to attract more than 500 attendees with at least 50 food-and-beverage purveyors that will offer samples of their products. Attendees will be able to bounce from table to table, tasting treats from tangy to fiery, crunchy to velvety, and sweet to briny.
What else would you expect in the world’s most diverse county?
Queens Taste is a celebration, but it’s also a great place to network. Almost all the anticipated 500 attendees either live in Queens or do business there. (Some do both.) Many are executives and captains of industry. Plus, the atmosphere is always festive, creating an ideal scene for meeting and greeting.”
“In previous years, we had Astoria’s Sabor de Cuba offer shredded beef with plantains, La Adelita in Woodside give away Mexican chalupas. Alobar in Long Island City has served savory potato pierogis with a creamy sauce, The Nest, a Guyanese/Trinidadian eatery in Richmond Hill, dished out curry, jerk, and BBQ chicken, and Bayside’s Bareburger bequeathed beer-braised bacon with stout onions on a mustard pretzel bun.”
Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? I’ve attended this event in the past and had a great time. The space, large selection of items and range of cuisine was well worth going. It’s a nice friendly group of people too. Check out some of our photos from past Queen Taste events here. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit eventbrite or thequeenstaste.com
