BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ – The inaugural Taste of Berkeley Heights, hosted by the Berkeley Heights Business and Civic (BHB&C), was a resounding success, bringing together nearly 300 food enthusiasts to indulge in a delightful culinary experience on Monday evening. The event, envisioned by Chris Wang, Chairman of the BHB&C, showcased the vibrant local food scene, featuring 25 participating restaurants that offered a mouthwatering array of dishes.

Held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Berkeley Heights, the event was orchestrated by Wang and his dedicated team, including BHB&C co-chair Kristina Brusco, and Lynda Fuentes and David Ross of American Beauty Events. “This was a project that was dreamt of a year ago, and the reality exceeded my expectations on every level,” Wang said. “The restaurants were the stars of the show, each bringing incredible dishes—many offering three or four different items. With nearly 300 attendees, the event was filled with positive energy. Friends brought friends, and new connections were made as everyone bonded over the delicious foods.”
