More than 350 guests braved the blizzard and joined 30 restaurants for a fantastic evening of Food and Good Cheer at the Hilton Logan Airport Hotel on Tuesday evening, January 21st. The cold temperatures and heavy snowfall created an additional challenge for the participating food establishments, but, as usual they arrived with their delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts and were well rewarded by a ballroom full of both long- time supporters and first-timers to the Taste of Eastie. East Boston locals and other Bostonians as well as our neighbors from Chelsea, Revere, Winthrop, Cambridge, and Somerville were joined by guests from Australia, Taiwan, Germany, and France for an amazing evening among friends. East Boston Main Streets would like to thank Representative Carlo Basile for his untir- ing support of East Boston Main Streets and advocacy on behalf of our seniors. We also thank our presenting sponsor, MassPort, for their generosity and technical assistance. We further thank East Boston Savings Bank, the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Suffolk Downs, the Boston Main Streets Foundation, the East Boston Chamber of Com- Albert Russo Imports Peaches & Cream merce, Citizens Bank, as well as Boston Main Streets and the Mayor’s Office for their ongoing support. Lastly, we applaud all the volunteers who make this evening possible and a tremendous success, year after year! Next time you are hungry, consider calling on these fine local food establishments.
