'Be A Culinary Explorer': Taste 15 Eateries At Tastes Of Bed-Stuy

BED-STUY, NY — Some 15 Bed-Stuy eateries, galleries and bars will open their doors on April 29 for a food and art crawl serving up sweet treats, burgers, Caribbean flavors and cocktails.

The combined food, drink and art crawl will start at 2 p.m. April 29 and will include restaurants mostly between Gates Avenue and Fulton Street. The day includes a guided art walk and food and drink deals from businesses ranging from cupcakes to burgers.

Tickets, which can be purchased online here, are $35 for four "tastes" at participating restaurants and $100 for 12 "tastes."

"Savor the entrepreneurial, delicious food and drink talent of historic, majestic neighborhoods," organizers wrote on Tastes of Brooklyn's website.

Food explorers can enjoy tastes of many beloved local businesses, like Haitian spot Grandchamps, Lady Moo Moo ice cream, Therapy Wine Bar 2.0, The Stuy Burgers and a cocktail spot to wash it down. A map of participating businesses can be found here.

IndigoStyle Vintage will also open its doors with discounted prices, as well as Crown Heights eatery Savannah Spiced — widening the area of the crawl and bringing in Caribbean flavors.

Younger eaters can enjoy fresh juices and snacks at a block party

Proceeds from the tasting event will benefit the local businesses and Seeds in the Middle, a local charity that fights food insecurity by empowering and educating students and schools on healthy and sustainable food consumption.

Bed-Stuy's hungry bellies will also benefit local schools.

"Our fundraising goal this year is to help up to 18 schools in central Brooklyn's lowest income neighborhoods overcome food insecurity by creating their own healthy businesses while boosting academic achievement and student change-makers as well," Tastes of Brooklyn said on its website.

The first Tastes of Brooklyn took over Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights on April 1. Organizers said the sunny festival was a huge success.

"Isn’t Franklin Avenue sensationally delicious! Thanks to all who came out. We appreciate you — including the sun!" Tastes of Brooklyn posted on its Instagram.
