A Taste of Suffern is one of three taste of fundraisers that the Rockland YMCA holds throughout the year, with Wednesday’s being presented by the Suffern Greater Chamber of Commerce. Nearly every family in Sloatsburg with kids has at one time or another had a member go a tumbling or dancing at the Suffern Y on Washington.
“It’s a lot of fun, especially if you go with someone” said Fritz Brevil, membership coordinator for Rockland YMCA about Rockland Y’s foody fundraisers. Brevil said the June Taste of Nyack drew some 100 people who wandered the village tasting foods of some of the village’s most popular cafes and restaurants. The Rockland YMCA also holds A Taste of Pearl River.
“You get to try out restaurants that you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t had the time,” said Brevil.
