Taste of Tribeca 2022
Taste of Tribeca — the 26th annual fundraiser for PS 234 and PS 150 — returned to Duane Park on May 21 after a two-year hiatus. Covid canceled the events in 2020 and 2021, but the volunteer organizers found a way to raise money by purchasing meals from local eateries, which were then delivered to hospitals throughout the city during the pandemic's deadliest days. It raised $70,000 and fed 8000 people.
The 26th Annual Taste of Tribeca highlighted a roster of Michelin-starred, award-winning, and other excellent restaurants, allowing attendees to sample the best dishes and drinks that Lower Manhattan has to offer.
