1st Annual Taste of Greenville is ‘a-comin’!

UPDATE:
DALLAS — The Greenville Avenue Restaurant Association (GARA), sponsors of the first Taste of Greenville Avenue event set for October 24, has announced that the event will be changing location.
The great public reaction to the event — the first of its kind in Greenville Avenue’s history — prompted the Association to seek a location that was larger and more open than the parking lot at the Vickery Towers center on Greenville and Belmont Avenues.
The event will be held on the parking lot behind the Granada Theater, 3524 Greenville Avenue. The date (October 24) and schedule (event opens at 11 a.m., closes at 6 p.m., sunset at 6:44 p.m.) are not changing.
As of this weekend, eleven GARA members have committed to participating, and restaurants from Greenville Avenue north of Mockingbird Lane are putting their plans together.
The number of restaurant booths planned is still set at 30, but the venue will have more space between the booths. Public service displays (Dallas Fire/Rescue and Dallas Police Department) will have an easier time setting up.
I can’t believe this is the 1st annual since there are so many great restaurants on Lower Greenville, but it’s gonna be one helluva 1st!
Save the date. Saturday, October 24th the 1st Annual Taste of Lower Greenville will kick-off on the grounds of Vickery Towers (Greenville @ Belmont). This shindig is going to be a neighborhood-style block party with local restaurants customers and fans of Lower Greenville invited!
Check back here in the coming weeks for more information about participating restaurants, other festive TOGA events and more!
