In October Ramsey held an event near the train station called, A Taste of Ramsey. It was an event organized by councilwoman Vanessa Jachzel. This event was the 2nd annual, where the event from 2008 had about 400 people show up. This year it was estimated that over 1,000 people came out for fun and festivities. The Taste of Ramsey is an interesting event in which local restaurants and other food services bring out their dishes for residents to try outside of their own location. Sort of like a mobile restaurant.
Well there were restaurants such as: Apolo’s Restaurant, Brady’s at the Station, Cafe Panache, Chez Dominique, King Pizza, Jersey Burgers, Pub 17, Ramsey Corner Cafe, Ramsey Golf & Country Club, Sweet Station, and Varka Estiatorio. The Tasting portion of the day came in the afternoon. In the morning there was a farmers market and some other tent areas selling various items. We were able to pick up some delicious bread from one of the vendors from New York.
If you’re not aware, Mayor Botta is participating in a New Jersey state wide wellness campaign. This was part of that campaign, more specifically the Healthy Appetizer contest. Three winners were chosen and received a prize which included membership certificates to, you guessed it, GET FIT Boot Camps. A great idea plus great weather equalled a truly great event. I am sure there will be another next year, so if you didn’t come out this year, then make sure to try and be there next.
