Here’s one more reason to sign up for The Local’s newsletter: You could win free tickets to the East Village Eats Tasting Tour.
This weekend will be a gut-busting one for the food obsessed: Saturday is Lower East Side Pickle Day; meanwhile above Houston, Fourth Arts Block is hosting its annual eating extravaganza. From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., ticket holders can roam the neighborhood (with a compostable spork, naturally) sampling bites from restaurants like buzzy newcomer L’Apicio (where F.A.B. just installed a colorful mural), Veselka Bowery, Jum Mum, Bikinis, and more. After the food crawl, the revelry continues as a trio of bars will offer discounted drinks.
So how do you score a ticket? Well, you can either buy one for $60 here, where you can see a full list of participating restaurants and dishes, or you can take two seconds to sign up for our newsletter. We’re giving away two tickets to a random person (and friend) who subscribes between now and tomorrow at 4 p.m. The icing on the proverbial cake: you’ll get free East Village news delivered to your inbox daily. Just sign up here.
