Fall is just around the corner, as we are already getting a bit of a taste of it as of late with the cool breeze that’s been drifting throughout Manhattan as of late. September is always a great month for events in and around town, and one that is sure not to be missed is the 5th Annual Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood Festival, taking place on September 16th.

Similar to other festivals that I have attended, this one brings together some of the best dishes from local restaurants and chefs that highlight what a fun and delicious area Gramercy truly is. I am a big believer in shopping local when it comes to being in Manhattan, and this includes the food and drink that we put in our mouths. This festival showcases that and so much more.

Some of the participating restaurants include great spots like BLT Prime, Le Coq Ric, Sarabeth’s, Maysville, Farmer & The Fish, 5 Napkin Burger, Irvington, Burger & Lobster and many more!

There will also be some wonderful raffles being held at the event, where the winners will receive prizes from Kiehl’s, Baked by Melissa, Swerve Fitness and many more. Food and prizes are a pretty great way to spend a Saturday, IMHO.
The event will take place at Irving Place between 12PM and 4PM on the 16th. Tickets to the event are currently on sale here with an early bird special running until August 28th.
