Once again, the Taste of the North Ends pulls together some of the neighborhood’s best – primarily Italian – restaurants for a philanthropic evening of food and drink. Reserve tickets for this year’s event – scheduled for Friday, May 4th at the Steriti Memorial Ice Rink – to mangia on offerings from more than twenty eateries including Antico Forno, Aragosta, Carmelina’s, Lucca, Mamma Maria, Neptune Oysters, Taranta and Tresca among lots of others. Now that it’s turned eighteen, the tasting offers guests the opportunity to vote for their favorite dish – so be sure to cast your ballot. The fun starts at 7:00pm and you’ll be stuffed by the time it wraps up at 11:00pm. Proceeds from tickets ($99 each) and from the evening’s silent auction will be donated to a handful of neighborhood non-profits so you can better the community while you eat. Tickets and details are available on the Taste of the North End website.
