Queens Taste 2016 will showcase roughly 60 restaurants, food makers, drink purveyors, and other borough-based businesses, along with their world-class products. Now in its 13th year, the event has grown from its original foodie focus into the borough’s best networking and business-promotion opportunity.

World class chefs — specializing in a wide array of diverse cuisines — will offer mouth-watering appetizers, entrées, desserts, artisan products, and beverages sumptuous enough to please even the pickiest palate. Attendees — mostly Queens residents and business executives — will enjoy everything from the famous Ottomanelli hamburger and Portuguese paella from Jamaica’s O Lavrador to mixed drinks from LIC hotspot SquareWine & Spirits and sweet treats from Rudy’s Bakery in Ridgewood.

Proceeds support QEDC’s ongoing efforts to attract, create, and maintain jobs in the borough through business services, neighborhood development, the Entrepreneur Space (our food-and-business incubator), and marketing attractions through the Queens Tourism Council and the It’s in Queens and Discover Queens brands. As QEDC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, proceeds are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
