It would be nearly impossible (or at, the very least, incredibly time-consuming) to try to visit all of the restaurants in the Lower East Side. Luckily, Taste of the Lower East Side is bringing all of our favorites together in one place, and they are doing it all for charity.
On April 30, over 40 of the neighborhood's best restaurants, bars and small businesses are coming together to serve the best food and drinks in town. Pile up a plate with bites and drinks from Au Za'atar, Birria Landia, Clinton St. Baking Co., Hen House NYC, Nowon, Nudibranch and The Ten Bells, to name a few.
It is all going down at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues). VIP tickets (priced at $600) gain you early access to the event at 5:30pm, plus open bar, while general admission ticketholders ($300) can arrive at 6pm. Proceeds from the event will benefit Grand St. Settlement, a nonprofit that has served youth, families and seniors since 1916 with essential services in community centers across the Lower East Side, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Since 2000, Taste of the Lower East Side has raised over $5 million to support the cause.
So show your support and purchase your tickets now!
