Sunnyside Shines Taste of Sunnyside The Taste of Sunnyside is back and better than ever! Featuring food from all over the world and beer made right here in Queens, the 2016 Taste of Sunnyside is not to be missed. Held during the evening of Tuesday, May 24, this year’s event is located underneath the elevated 7 train in the heart of Sunnyside. Sunnyside is a vibrant and diverse part of Queens, and this year’s event is a great way to experience the neighborhood and find your new favorite restaurant (or three!). Attendees receive a taste of food at each table, as well as samples from local breweries like Big Alice Brewing, Finback Brewery and Queens Brewery, and local wine purveyors. The nonprofit organization Sunnyside Shines hosts this event this year to promote the neighborhood as a dining destination and to celebrate the unique local flavors of Sunnyside. From high-brow to low-brow and everything in between, there’s guaranteed to be something new to try at this year’s Taste of Sunnyside. Attendees sample cuisine from all over the world, including Paraguayan empanadas, Chinese dumplings, Irish scones and cactus tacos from Mexico. Francophiles won’t want to miss tastes of hanger steak, fans of pub grub can sample sliders from local watering holes and foodies are sure to Instagram whatever concoction Salt and Fat has up their sleeves. In addition to sampling delicious food and drink in such a unique location under the 7 train, the Taste of Sunnyside also features entertainment and a photo booth to truly create a fun night out in Sunnyside. Tickets can only be purchased prior to the event, and last year’s event sold out well in advance. Two types of tickets are available – spend a little extra for the VIP Early Admission ticket to gain entry at 5:30pm ($65) or enter at 6:30pm with a General Admission ticket ($35).
