Small Bites

Twelve restaurants are participating, and you can sample food from all ove the world. At first I was a little confused about how all this worked — was it a street fair? were people offering samples? — but I got an email from one of the organizers, and that clarified it for me. Here you go:

There will be a manned tent & table with event information at the foot of the village, on the corner directly outside Village Hall (40 New Main Street at Maple Ave), just before Union Restaurant & across from Mariella’s Pizza.

We will have maps with the location and cuisine of each restaurant. Restaurants will have featured small plates or tapas style dishes available at outside tables, all for around 5 or 6 bucks, priced individually (each place should have a separate event menu on the outside tables, listing these items). Diners are encouraged to try several different restaurants/cuisines.

We are really trying to create a format that works for Haverstraw. Most people are familiar with the dine around events of other villages that have chafing dishes setup, with a sort of dine and dash to the next place format. This is a little different in that we would like for our diners to sit, relax and get a feel for each place at a leisurely pace.

Sounds really really cool. I’d say it’s almost like a tapas paseo! Especially around happy hour.

After the jump, the press release. If you go… take photos and send them to me! I”ll post them here on Small Bites.
