If you’re looking for a way to try delicious
food and drinks while supporting a

Th e Queens Economic Development

For almost two decades, Queens Taste

taste of cuisines from all over the world,
including Brazilian, Caribbean, Chinese,
French, Indian, Italian, Kosher and much
more.
Th eir beverages will come from international

food incubator clients, the Entrepreneur
Space, will off er artisan desserts, chocolates
and hors d’oeuvres.
Th e festive event wouldn’t be complete
without music, and they have enlisted the

various genres throughout the evening.
“Th e proceeds support our ongoing
eff orts 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 It’s in Queens brand,” a

Th e 2020 list isn’t complete, but in 2019
Queens Taste featured 58 vendors and
welcomed 700 attendees.
Tickets cost $125 each or $200 for two,
but as QEDC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofi t,
they are partially tax deductible as permitted
