2025

WOW!!!💥😆😆🙌🏽
What an AMAZING and FANTASTIC event we held earlier this month on the eve of July 4th, at The Forum at Columbia University for our 2025 TASTE OF HARLEM!!
So many people from the community and around NYC came out and showed love ❤️ The lines were long and people were hungry and thirsty but they stuck it out and we managed to get everybody in to enjoy the delicious delights Harlem’s best had to offer!
Thanks to our team at the Business Outreach Center Network (BOCN), and ther NY Women’s Chamber of Commerce. Couldn’t make this happen without all of you! ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
Once again, thank you to all our sponsors and partners of the event, firstly Columbia University for being so gracious and for their support prior and during the event! Special thanks to our partners, NYC Councilman Shaun Abreu, and President of the Harlem CDC, Curtis Archer for showing up and showing love! We always appreciate your support for this event, it can’t be done without you too! Thank you to our community partners in WHDC, CB9 and NYC SBS for your continued support. Lastly, we especially thank all the participating vendors (too many to name them all here, but we love you and will continue to support and promote your businesses throughout the year!) for your patience, support and of course the amazing, delicious foods & drinks you gracefully served to all those happy faces on that beautiful Thursday night! Can’t describe the excitement and joy we had all throughout the event! Until next time Harlem! ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽✨
