PARSIPPANY — A tasteful time will be waiting attendees at the Taste of Parsippany, Hilton Hotel, One Hilton Court, Parsippany. Restaurants, catering companies and other area businesses put their delicacies on display, giving area residents an opportunity to sample a wide variety of cuisines. The event will be held on Monday, September 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
The Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce and the Parsippany Visitor Center made the event possible. Major sponsors of the event are Hilton Hotel, Hampton Inn, Parsippany Focus and Wegmans.
“This is about supporting the community, giving exposure to businesses, people learning about restaurants,” said Robert Peluso, President of Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce. “Taste of Parsippany is about giving a kickstart to the local economy.”
The idea is that people attend the event, sample edibles from participating restaurants and later become loyal (repeat) customers of their favorite new eateries.
“We estimate over 300 people will attend,” he said.
Chamber of Commerce Executive Board Member Frank Cahill said vendor participation shows that many Parsippany business people believe in the power of the American Dream.
