Dear East Village Business Owners & Managers,
 
We look forward to the Third Annual Taste of East Village!

This year’s event dates are Wednesday and Thursday, May 21 & 22 from 4pm – 8pm.

You will only participate one of the days, as determined by our event team.
The Taste of East Village gives restaurants & bars in East Village the opportunity to participate in a dining-centric promotion event. This event allows you to:
 
• Attract new customers to your restaurant 
• Encourage repeat patronage
• Provide an opportunity for you to build contact lists
• Emphasize the unique dining destination that is East Village
• Take part in fundraising to support the many neighborhood improvement

projects of the East Village Association, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
 
Promotional benefits include TV news media, monthly newsletters, listing on the Taste of East Village website (tasteofeastvillagesd.com), inclusion on East Village social media posts and printed promo materials

How it works:
Fuse Events is the official event organizer. Attendees purchase tickets for a flat fee on the event website. On the day of the event, they head to the designated check-in area where they receive their Taste Passport, then stroll from restaurant to restaurant to experience the ambiance of each unique establishment. There is NO CHARGE for businesses, just provide the tastes, physical space to serve, and staff. Fuse Events will provide participating restaurants with disposables (plates, forks, etc.)
 
The attendance for Taste of East Village is 500 people per day. That is 500 opportunities for you to entice new and future customers with delicious samples of your cuisine. You choose the item(s) you would like to offer; a variety is crucial for the success of this event. 
 
Please see accompanied restaurant application. Register by Thursday, February 20.
