New York (Sept. 1, 2015) ­ ​TASTE Williamsburg Greenpoint is pleased to bring neighborhood restaurants and live music together for its 6 Town Hall. Located on the beautiful Williamsburg waterfront, the tasting event will feature cuisine, beer, wine and cocktails from over 50 of North Brooklyn’s premier dining destinations as well as live music from Kings County Ramblers, Big Dog Run and Xavier Cardriche.

Neighborhood newcomers like The Williamsburg Hotel, Lilia, MP Taverna and the Camlin will serve their innovative dishes alongside veterans like Maison Premiere, Hotel Delmano, Bakeri and countless others.

"This year’s TASTE will feature an exciting new variety of food, music and community activities.” says Dana Krieger, Event Director​. “We’re thrilled to have such prominent, beloved restaurants and bars be so supportive of an important cause for North Brooklyn. Be sure to also check out the highly anticipated newcomers to the neighborhood like Lilia and The Williamsburg Hotel.”

Recent additions to the final TASTE 2015 lineup include Dirck the Norseman, Greenpoint Brewery, Brooklyn Winery, Two Door Tavern and Salty Road.
