Queens Taste 2026
2026-05-12 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Sound River Studios, 4-40 44th Drive, Queens, NY 11101, Queens, NY, 11101, US
Eat your heart out with dishes from across the most delicious borough on the planet at Queens Taste – QEDC’s annual fundraiser

Save the most delicious date of the year
Join us on May 12 for the largest and longest-running culinary showcase in the most vibrant food destination in the world: Queens Taste 2026.
We’re once again bringing together more than 50 of the borough’s best restaurants, foodmakers, breweries, and confectioners under one roof for an evening of unlimited sips and samples. But for the first time, that roof is the stunning Sound River Studios in LIC – perched right on the East River with soaring ceilings and breathtaking skyline views.

What you’ll taste
More than 50 restaurants, beverage purveyors, and dessert makers are expected to offer samples of their products. Plus, clients of the Entrepreneur Space, a food-and-business incubator that QEDC operates in Long Island City, will provide their artisanal specialties. And to wash it all down, brewers, wine makers, and mixologists will be on tap – as well as a host of non-alcoholic fruit juices and teas.
Restaurant recruitment is underway, but here are some entities that participated in last year’s Queens Taste and are certainly invited to return: Alewife; Arepa’s Café; Austin Ale House; Ben’s Deli; Il Nonno Ristorante; Jora; London Lennie’s; Moon Man; Neir’s Tavern; O Lavrador; Ottomanelli’s Burgers & Belgian Fries; Punjab Dhaba Catering & Sweets; QNSY Sparkling Cocktails; Queens Curry Kitchen; Rincon Salvadoreño; Saar Indian Cuisine; Schmidt’s Candy; The Wine Room of Forest Hills; Tipsy Scoop; and Toodles & French.

Where you’ll be
After more than two decades, we’re excited to bring Queens Taste to the LIC waterfront for the first time ever. Located at 4-40 44th Drive next to Anabel Basin, Sound River Studios is a wheelchair-accessible, gallery-style venue with high ceilings, white walls, large windows, and skylights. It has a capacity of 450 guests who can flow easily from the cavernous indoor space to a 1,300-square-foot outdoor terrace.

What it’s all for
Finally, Queens Taste 2026 supports a good cause. Proceeds go to the Queens Economic Development Corporation’s ongoing efforts to attract, create, and maintain jobs in the borough. Early Bird tickets cost $125 each (two for $200), but as QEDC is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, they’re partially tax-deductible as permitted by law.

Albert Marquès – Piano

Karen Lugo – Bailaora (Flamenco Dance)

About Albert Marquès:
Albert Marquès is a pianist and composer from a working-class industrial town outside Barcelona, where he worked in factories while attending school. Shaped early by political awareness and the local punk scene, his musical development was also influenced by jazz pianists such as Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Michel Camilo, and Herbie Hancock. Largely self-taught, he later completed formal studies at the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona.
Following his graduation, Marquès undertook formative stays in the West Bank and Cuba, experiences that deeply informed his artistic outlook. Back in Barcelona, he became an active presence in the city’s jazz scene, collaborating with leading musicians such as Marc Miralta and gaining recognition for a distinctive, non-academic sound.
He later relocated to Paris, where he immersed himself in the local jazz community, performing with musicians including Rémi Vignolo and Pierre Perchaud, and serving as pianist in drummer Leon Parker’s quartet.
At the age of 25, Marquès moved to New York City to pursue jazz performance. There, he became closely associated with his mentor Arturo O’Farrill, who played a key role in his artistic development and professional trajectory. In New York, Marquès established himself as a bandleader and collaborator, working with artists such as Ari Hoenig and Spanish flamenco singer and saxophonist Antonio Lizana.
Based in New York, Marquès developed a personal musical language that brings together contemporary jazz and flamenco. He has released four albums as a bandleader and continues to perform internationally with a wide range of American and European musicians.
In addition to his performance career, Marquès serves as Music Director at the Institute for Collaborative Education in New York, a progressive public middle and high school in downtown Manhattan.

About: Eric Stern’s Cuban Jazz Project:
It is a new trio.

Eric plays a variety of genres of music, including latin jazz with John Benitez, salsa with Carabali, modern jazz with Noah Myers’ Sonder, hip-hop with Good Lives Crew, and straight-ahead jazz with a myriad of young artists.

Orchestra of St. Luke's + Joseph Parrish: Finding an American Voice: Burleigh and Dvořák
2026-05-14 19:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Flushing Town Hall, 137-35 Northern Blvd, Flushing, NY 11354, USA
Orchestra of St. Luke’s (OSL), joined by baritone Joseph Parrish, celebrates the friendship between Harry T. Burleigh, the pioneering Black American composer, and Antonín Dvořák, the renowned Czech composer that began when the two men met in 1892. Their collaboration, rooted in spirituals and folk music, helped shape a distinctly American sound that continues to inspire us today.
OSL brings that story to the Flushing Town Hall, joined by baritone Joseph Parrish in a program that weaves Burleigh’s original songs and spiritual arrangements with Dvořák’s Violin Sonatina in G Major–music born from the same conversation, performed together in Queens.
This concert is part of Five Boroughs Music Festival’s season finale tour, with OSL performing the same program across all five NYC boroughs: Hostos Community College (BRONX), Snug Harbor Cultural Center (STATEN ISLAND), Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library (MANHATTAN), and Flushing Town Hall (QUEENS).
