The Tasting: an Evening with Master Chefs on the Hudson
Monday, September 16, 2019 | Battello, Jersey City, NJ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Join us for an extraordinary evening of gastronomy, featuring specialties prepared by participating New Jersey master chefs at this high-end, walk-around tasting event. Wine pairings, craft beers, cocktails and mocktails are on tap to complement the gourmet fare. The setting is Battello on the Hudson River waterfront, with the NYC skyline as our backdrop.
The event will benefit Eva’s Village in Paterson, NJ, which provides care and support for thousands of people each year who are struggling with poverty, hunger, homelessness, and addiction. Our programs address each individual’s basic needs as well as the complex issues around chronic homelessness, addiction, and mental and behavioral health.
