The tour will walk through Bloomfield Center’s business district with a guide making stops for scrumptious samples at area restaurants. Tour participants can connect with chefs and owners of the restaurants and sample cuisine ranging from Italian to Jamaican to the American South.
A guide will lead the tour along with staff from the Bloomfield Center Alliance to provide information on the history and plans for the area along with expert tips on shopping for goods and services, living, and food in the Center today.
The Food Tour is just one of several events highlighting Bloomfield Center this coming summer. Dinner Under the Stars, a popular al fresco dining event that takes place on Washington Street will return for nine Friday’s this summer, as will eight evening Cruise Nights Car Shows which brings classic automobiles and cool tunes to Washington Street.
“The Food Tour of Bloomfield Center will showcase the incredible, multi-ethnic, creative, and walkable food scene here in Bloomfield Center,” says Ollyn Lettman, Director of the Bloomfield Center Alliance. “We have restaurants in the Center that have been open for years like Bloomfield Steak & Seafood and others that just opened this month like Bucco, and we’re excited for people to experience a number of them.” Several of the restaurants the tour will visit were featured in Pete Genovese’s NJ.Com article describing Bloomfield as one of The 15 best under-the-radar dining destinations in New Jersey like Essex Junction Craft Kitchen & Bar and Aki Asian Cuisine.
