Food Lovers’ Lane

If you were to attempt to stroll down Federal Hill tasting and experiencing as much as humanly possible, how far would you get? There is simply too much for one night. However, if you attend Taste of the Hill, you can at least attempt it. This annual food, wine and art event condenses the best of the Hill and beyond into one convenient time and place – in this case, the Johnson and Wales Culinary Arts Museum from 6-9:30pm on Wednesday, October 24. It’s a perfect opportunity to stroll down what they’re calling “food lovers’ lane,” with stops at Hill staples like the Blue Grotto, Angelo’s and Venda Ravioli, purveyors like Narragansett Creamery and the Bakery Boutique, and neighbors like El Rancho Grande and Rasoi. The Hill’s art mavens will also be showing out, bringing the cultural contributions of Chabot Gallery, Gallery Z and Royal Gallery to the event. All of this is to support the Federal Hill House, one of the state’s oldest and most respected human services organizations. Tickets are $40 in advance or $50 at the door.
