Six years ago, Bushwick Starr co-founders Sue Kessler and Noel Allain had the idea to follow in the footsteps of a nearby theater, Queen’s Chocolate Factory Theater — host of the annual “Taste of LIC” bash — and invite a few restaurants onto the roof of their Starr Street theater to fundraise for the new theater season.
This year, the sixth annual “Taste of Bushwick” festival will take place on Monday, June 10 and will feature the wares of at least 30 local restaurants and vendors, all of whom can be sampled by the curious at its new location: Brooklyn Cider House, who is, for the first time, running the event and will also be among those providing goodies inside little cardboard trays. Also confirmed to attend: Sally Roots; the recently-opened Teo; and Archie’s, named by Bushwick Daily as the best pizzeria of 2018.
Tickets are on sale now and go for $55 in advance and $60 at the door. They are also available for $45 before June 1st.
