BWW Preview: Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood Returns on September 29

Back for its 6th year, Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood, hosted by Gramercy Neighborhood Associates, Inc., returns to Irving Place on September 29, 2018. Showcasing some of the neighborhood's best restaurants, the event provides guests with the opportunity to sample dishes from many of the area's top culinary talent while experiencing the charm and culture of the Gramercy neighborhood.

Proceeds from Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood will benefit public schools including PS40 and School of the Future, while all excess food will be donated to the Bowery Mission. The team is also honored to be working with the Association of Community Employment (ACE), which provides job training and work experience to New York City's homeless. ACE will help to organize activities during the event and assist in post-event breakdown. As in all previous years, the festival will be using certified compostable products provided by World Centric, a company whose mission is to raise awareness for humanitarian and environmental issues.
