Eat your heart out with dishes from across the most delicious borough on the planet at Queens Taste – QEDC's annual fundraiser
Save the most delicious date of the year
Join us on May 12 for the largest and longest-running culinary showcase in the most vibrant food destination in the world: Queens Taste 2026.
We're once again bringing together more than 50 of the borough's best restaurants, foodmakers, breweries, and confectioners under one roof for an evening of unlimited sips and samples. But for the first time, that roof is the stunning Sound River Studios in LIC – perched right on the East River with soaring ceilings and breathtaking skyline views.

What you'll taste
More than 50 restaurants, beverage purveyors, and dessert makers are expected to offer samples of their products. Plus, clients of the Entrepreneur Space, a food-and-business incubator that QEDC operates in Long Island City, will provide their artisanal specialties. And to wash it all down, brewers, wine makers, and mixologists will be on tap – as well as a host of non-alcoholic fruit juices and teas.
Restaurant recruitment is underway, but here are some entities that participated in last year’s Queens Taste and are certainly invited to return: Alewife; Arepa’s Café; Austin Ale House; Ben’s Deli; Il Nonno Ristorante; Jora; London Lennie’s; Moon Man; Neir's Tavern; O Lavrador; Ottomanelli’s Burgers & Belgian Fries; Punjab Dhaba Catering & Sweets; QNSY Sparkling Cocktails; Queens Curry Kitchen; Rincon Salvadoreño; Saar Indian Cuisine; Schmidt's Candy; The Wine Room of Forest Hills; Tipsy Scoop; and Toodles & French.
