The sight of white tents erected in a city park immediately conjures up a sense of excitement. All to often it's something exclusive and inaccessible, but this time it was Harvest in the Square's 20th anniversary, and I was lucky enough to procure tickets. Funds raised go to an excellent cause (the Union Square Partnership), and plus, it's like dinner and a show. There were a ton of participants, filling th eentire north end of the park, with a dj spinning catchy tunes and an ebullient energy spilling out onto the streets.
This Harvest put (in increasing order of interest) Javelina, Tasca Chino, Barbounia, Adalya, The House, Union Square Cafe and Black Barn on my hit-list, amongst others I already know and love well... and yeah, a couple of flops. But overall the food was great- far too much to list
