Hosted by Daytime Emmy–nominated Jermaine Stone

Tasting Notes From The Streets is a visual and event series where we pair our favorite foods from the hood with wines from around the world.

The creators of Wine & Hip Hop and Empire State of Wine present the Tasting Notes From The Streets Food Hall.

Tasting Notes From The Streets is a visual and event series where we pair our favorite foods from the hood with wines from around the world.

For this event, we’re bringing together a “greatest hits” style tasting, pulling standout dishes from past and current episodes and pairing them with a curated selection of wines from Empire State of Wine, with unlimited pours.

Instead of a seated tasting, the experience is designed like a food hall. Guests move through the space, exploring different stations, each with its own pairing and point of view.

Guests will experience multiple food and wine stations featuring comfort foods and street classics, served as unlimited small bites throughout the night.

We’re pulling from Empire State of Wine’s deep and well-curated inventory to create those unexpected “this actually works” pairing moments.

Expect:

  • 20 curated wine pairings

  • Unlimited small bites

  • Live DJ

  • Surprise performances

  • A room built around discovery, not rules

This is the first Food Hall Edition since 2022—so we’re setting the tone properly.
