Food Crawl to Give a Taste of Crown Heights

JMenu is excited to introduce ‘A Taste of Crown Heights’, benefiting Toys for Hospitalized Children, a division of the NCFJE.

‘A Taste of Crown Heights’ is a neighborhood kosher food crawl. This walkable trail on Kingston Avenue will feature local restaurants, beverage shops, and caterers. Over 20 local venues will be serving tastes of their signature dish or beverage and participants will be able to sample each vendor along the route. Attendees will enjoy a variety of food and drink, local vibes, and a great day out with family and friends!

Participants will have the opportunity to rate each contender and determine the greatest ‘taste’ of Crown Heights for the ‘People’s Choice Awards’. In addition, there will be a panel of expert judges to judge in each category for the ‘Expert’s Choice Award’.
