Recap of Taste of the Terminal! Chocolates, Gelato, Food Samples and Giveaways!

Every Monday in July at the Taste of Terminal event, (see link for more details), you can learn about the different vendors at Grand Central Terminal while snagging free samples of their products.

This past Monday, I checked out the afternoon session (there is also a morning session which consists of different vendors).

First up, is Li-Lac Chocolates. Each person got to taste the following dark chocolate truffle.


Ciao Bella had four different flavors of gelatos/sorbets to try. They were an itty bitty spoonful. 










They include the Alba Hazelnut Caffe Gelato, White Peach Sangria Sorbetto, Wild Italian Strawberry Sorbetto and the Caramel Chocolate Gelato

They also gave out coupons for a discount at their shop there, as well as a $1 off coupon to buy their pint size gelatos in supermarkets!











Thirdly was Ceriello - www.ceriellofinefoods.com
HomeStyle Pasta Sauces 











Tia's Place sells unique jewelry.










If you sign up for their mailing list, you get to snag a pair of earrings for free!

Check the schedule for their next and last appearance at the Taste of the Terminal. 











There are many more other vendors coming up, so be sure to stop by during your morning commute or your lunch break!

Enjoy and have fun,

Terresa =)
