Act Now to Be Part of 'A Taste in Simsbury'

Act quickly to be part of this week’s 5th Annual Taste in Simsbury.

Fewer than 60 tickets remain for the Thursday evening event, said Sarah Floroski-Nielsen, executive director of the Simsbury Main Street Partnership.

Tickets to the Main Street Partnership benefit are $50 and include gourmet samples from participating restaurants, beer, wine, non-alcoholic drinks and dessert. 

“It’s kind of a casual but upscale event,” Floroski-Nielsen said. “It’s a lot of fun. You see a lot of people.”

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for the Thursday night event but people should not feel like they need to be there right away to enjoy the three-hour event, Floroski-Nielsen said.

The event takes place at The Riverview and includes numerous restaurants. A “sneak peak” at some of the menu items includes:

Abigail's Grille and Wine Bar

    *Chilled Baltimore-style shrimp with Old Bay & cocktail sauce

    *Rosedale Farms red and yellow heirloom tomato gazpacho with Katama Bay oysters and Absolute Pepper and a cucumber floater
