Here’s A Recap Of The Annual Tradition Taste Of Gramercy
The Taste of Gramercy Neighborhood (TOGN) has become an annual tradition, hosted by the Gramercy Neighborhood Associates Inc., as a way to promote local businesses and give New Yorkers a taste of what Gramercy has to offer. This past Saturday, September 24, 2016 from 11am-3pm, on Irving Place (between 17/18th streets), local vendors and restaurants had the chance to mingle with curious attendees and serve up their best dishes. Highlights from #TOGN include The Ainsworth, Ponty Bistro, The Smith, MidWinter Kitchen, Irvington, and Breads Bakery.
