Taste Talks Brooklyn, Take 3

by Darrel Alejandro

Over 5,000 people showed up to the Third Annual Taste Talks in Brooklyn this past weekend. The event, co-presented by Squarespace, was a total hit featuring dozens of chef presenting new platters and points of view on various panels and in various cooking demos.

The festival included food, drink, music, the latter of which was curated by the one and only musician and culinary tastemaker Questlove. Questlove brought the beats with a live DJ set to kick-off the festival’s first major event, Sweet Thinking: A Dessert Party, which he co-hosted alongside celebrity chef Dominque Ansel on the McCarren Hotel & Pool rooftop.

This past Tuesday night at Soundwall Gallery, artist Bisco Smith connected art and sound in an innovative exhibit in Tribeca. The event, hosted by Hannah Bronfman with music provided by April Hunt, was well attended by a diverse crowd of 20-somethings in industries from music, arts, and entertainment. The Gallery sits near the Brooklyn Bridge, conveniently located for subway and bus transit, and a stone’s throw from tourist attractions like Wall Street and the 9-11 Memorial. The Gallery is an open loft space, reminiscent of loft/studio apartments my former real estate agent would call quirky, and I used to think are “so New York”. Music by April Hunt proved to be the perfect compliment to the night’s art experience as her lounge sounds set the tone for great conversation and art appreciation.
