Taste of the Upper West Side

New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood, once a culinary desert, has turned into a food lover's haven in recent years. On May 20 and 21, the Whole Food Market New Taste of the Upper West Side will showcase the area's best restaurants, cafes and sweet shops with a series of tastings, wine classes and live music. Proceeds go toward beautification projects. Here's a lineup of the participating restaurants and their menus.
