Culinary with a Cause: Taste of Albany sets May 2 Event Date

One of the tastiest culinary events of the year, A Taste of Albany, will take place on May 2 at the New York State Museum. Last year's event sold out at 500 attendees and raised more than $100,000 for the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless.

Be sure to buy your tickets early, as this popular event is sure to sell out once again. The event is $70 per person or $60 for those under the age of 30, and includes complimentary food tastings, wine, beer, and soda. In addition to the stunning view of the Empire State Plaza, live music, actions, and raffles will complete the atmosphere and events!
