The New Jersey Share Our Strength charity event is right around the corner. If you haven’t been to one of these before, it’s a great way to taste a whole lot of dishes from some of the region’s best restaurants all at once, and help out a great charitable cause, the fight against child hunger. Plus, most of the admission fee is tax deductible!
The New Jersey event (click for details) is to be held this year at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany, on May 5 at 6PM. Over 40 of New Jersey’s top restaurants will be featured. To purchase tickets ($85 in advance, $95 at the door) call (973) 772-4474.
