'Tastes Of Brooklyn' To Kick Off Food Crawl Season In Flatbush

BROOKLYN, NY — Food crawl season is on its way back to Brooklyn.

The annual food festivals under the Tastes of Brooklyn umbrella will return to the borough this weekend with a crawl in Flatbush and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, according to Seeds in the Middle, which organizes the events.

"We open our 2021 Tastes of Brooklyn season with an exceptional talented array of culinary entrepreneurs in Flatbush-PLG - a culturally rich, diverse neighborhood just east of Prospect Park!" organizers wrote in a flyer.

The "Tastes of Flatbush" crawl will include more than 20 restaurants, bars, chefs and eateries in the neighborhoods and is set to run between noon and 8 p.m. on Saturday.

The exact menu is yet to be announced, but organizers say diners can expect tastings from the Caribbean, Asia, Europe and "South of the Border."

"...Let's just say: these awesome places are offering a delectable variety of exotic cocktails, brew, vegan, beers, and dishes from around the world," they wrote.

The event will also include a series of pop-up farm stands and flea markets at Parkside Plaza and a "Food Desert Awareness Bike Ride" on Sunday.
