Taste of Fairmount is one of my absolute favorite neighborhood events! I love sampling all of the neighborhood restaurants and always find a wonderful new spot or dish that I didn’t know before the event. Also great catching up with neighbors and enjoying the speciality cocktails. 🥂
-Lauren K
The Taste of Fairmount is our favorite local event by far. What makes it a must-come for us is a chance to eat, drink, and laugh with neighbors, both known and not yet known, while celebrating our small pocket of Philadelphia. The bonus is having an opportunity to meet and discuss the food, the thinking behind the menus, the challenges, and rewards with the restaurant owners and staff. A true insiders view. There is not a year in which we have not walked home at the end of the night feeling as though we were in the room when something special took place.
