EAT DRINK ART DO GOOD

Welcome to our 2023 events. We are thrilled to bring back the Franklin Avenue Festival in partnership with Brooklyn Celebrity and Brooklyn Art Walks. We are incredibly grateful to all the chefs, restaurants, bars, bakeries, ice cream shops and boutiques who joined us throughout the pandemic. Let's continue supporting them!

We open this year on March 25! Eat, sip and do good across Brooklyn, walking and exploring culinary gems at our Tastes of Brooklyn food and drink crawls.

Tastes of Franklin Avenue Festival is a special event, also featuring a block party for kids and families and an art stroll! Enjoy restaurants, bars, food establishments and more small businesses in this culturally-rich, trendy, diverse artistic corner of Brooklyn, plus our pop-up Hip2B Healthy Market run by kids. Create your personal food and drink tour. Each ticket has 4 tastes and you can choose any of the array of participating establishments. Share tickets with friends. Explore our map and menu and choose which delicious establishments to visit. See our Avenue Festival map here and know - as you enjoy the exceptional culinary talent in Brooklyn - that you are supporting children creating healthier places to live and learn.

Eat. Drink. Walk. Art. Do Good.

Your purchases support our local businesses but they are also helping Seeds in the Middle expand school-run farm/flea markets, gardens and Hip2B Healthy cafes to erase food deserts in central Brooklyn. Vendors, independent chefs, more small biz welcome!

Our fundraising goal this year is to help up to 18 schools in central Brooklyn's lowest income neighborhoods overcome food insecurity by creating their own healthy businesses while boosting academic achievement and student change-makers as well! See our map here of where we are and the schools who have asked for us.

Savor the entrepreneurial, delicious food and drink talent of historic, majestic neighborhoods. Pop-up flea market under development. Vendors, independent chefs, artists, email us at tastesofbrooklyn@gmail.com.

Be a culinary explorer again. Let's boost businesses and healthy kids together.
