Taste of Bayside Postponed Until Spring

Annual food and drink tasting event had been pushed back due to scheduling conflicts.

The Bayside Business Association’s 10th annual Taste of Bayside event has been postponed until the spring due to scheduling conflicts, the group’s president said.

The event, during which northeast Queens residents can sample food and drinks from local eateries, was set to take place on Jan. 23 at Bayside’s Adria Hotel and Conference Center.

But it has now been pushed back to a yet-to-be-disclosed date in the spring.

“It was unforeseen and there was nothing we could do about it,” Bayside Business Association President Judith Limpert said. “This is one of our most fun events, so we’re disappointed. But it will be rescheduled.”

She said the evening of food and drink tasting would likely be held in May.

An estimated 20 to 25 vendors typically take part in the event.

This year’s roster includes Bare Burger, Bourbon Street, Cascarino’s, Marbella, Papazzio, Tequila Sunrise, White Castle, Maggie Moo’s and Francis Lewis Pastry Shop.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
