Take a bite out of downtown Silver City on Labor Day weekend, as chefs serve up their culinary delights! Walk around downtown Silver City, NM on Saturday, August 31 from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm and get delicious tastes from fifteen eateries and a bonus taste at the Silco Theatre. This annual event benefits the Silver City MainStreet program.
In addition to tastes from fifteen restaurants and eateries the ticket holders will enjoy, there is also a free drawing for ticket holders at the Taste of Downtown headquarters at The Hub. This event was planned in collaboration with the Love Local Celebration and the Rolling Stones Gem and Mineral Show. The Taste of Downtown is a perfect compliment to these events. Enjoy the Gem and Mineral Show and have a fun lunchtime with great tastes from downtown eateries and find some great deals while shopping too!
Some of the tastes to be enjoyed this year include mini sandwich of slow cooked pork with coleslaw and chipotle cream at the Corner Kitchen, a natural and vegan taste at Potala Palace, Italian meatballs in sweet basil red sauce with locally grown basil at Vicki’s Eatery, Black Bean Quinoa Soup at Tapas Tree Grill, and brownies at Honeebee Goods, house made hummus on crostini at Diane’s Restaurant, to name a few of the sweet and savory tastes that will be served. Other participants include Little Toad Creek, Tranquil Buzz Coffee House, Silver City Food Co-op, Diane’s Bakery and Deli, The Fry House, The Mint Chip, Mick’s 33 Lounge, and Q’s Southern Bistro. Silver City MainStreet is grateful to the participating eateries for their support!
