Irish food and drink is now world renowned as some of the highest quality produce and most sought after in the world. Bridget Bray and her upcoming event FarePlate are bringing the story of Irish cuisine to the community of New York City this St. Patrick’s Day season.

Offering the opportunity to taste products, connect with Irish brands and gain awareness of Irish fare the event aims at changing the perception, as well as a lack of awareness of Irish cuisine. At the March 12 event New Yorkers, both Irish food aficionados and those unfamiliar with the quality, innovation and craftsmanship of products originating from Ireland will be in for a treat.

FarePlate will celebrate the culinary offerings Ireland brings to the table. From the commitment to sustainable practices to the centuries old and contemporary craftsmanship, from the charm of the Irish culture to the rich green fields the country – all of this inspiring innovative restaurants, chefs and food writers.
