Annual Spring Fundraiser To Offer A Taste Of The East End

Love to dine out, but typically don’t have the time or tend to try the same spot – because it’s just so good? You can sample bites from several beloved local favorites – all under the same roof – during a special spring affair.

Taste of Tuckahoe will once again pay homage to the East End’s culinary scene during the 9th annual fundraiser for the Tuckahoe School, which will take place on Friday, April 12.

The benefit will take place at 230 Elm in Southampton from 7 to 10 p.m., and there will be a VIP from 6 to 7 p.m. that will offer early access to the food, and Chinese and Silent Auctions, an open bar, and live music courtesy of VIP hour host Liam Meaney. DJ Chris Cenzoprano will provide the tunes for the rest of the night.

“We are looking forward to our 9th annual Taste of Tuckahoe, which has become the highlight of the spring season for many local residents, and which benefits the Tuckahoe School,” Kathy Grigo, Taste of Tuckahoe committee member, said. “This year’s event will once again include fantastic food and drink, Chinese and Silent auctions and new this year is live music at the VIP hour by local favorite Liam Meaney.”

2019 participants will include Wolffer Estate Vineyard, Twin Fork Beer Co., North Sea Tavern, 230 Elm, Union Cantina, Hampton Coffee Company, Saaz, Bake My Day, Paul’s Italian Restaurant, 75 Main, Centro Trattoria & Bar, KatieCakes & Confections, La Hacienda Mexican Grill, Hampton Farms, Krieg’s Bakery, DeJesus Deli & Taqueria, Edgewater Restaurant, Melrose East, Montauk Brewing Company, and The Golden Pear.

The highly anticipated event attracted more than 400 people last year and event organizers expect an even bigger crowd this year. Proceeds from the evening will support Tuckahoe School, and will be used toward enhancing the education of all students.
