The Taste of Cambridge

This post was written by Rebecca MacQuarrie, EveryScape's Director of Marketing.

If you're a Bostonian, or have spoken to a grumbling Bostonian lately, you'll know that June Gloom descended upon our fair city. As a glass-half-full kind of girl, I haven't actually counted the rainy days myself, but local DJ's, facebook updates and various co-workers have told me that the count was somewhere around 24 days!

With that in mind, you'll understand why we were all a little nervous when last Thursday rolled around, when we were set to exhibit and attend the outdoor Taste of Cambridge event. The original date had been canceled due to--you guessed it--rain and the weather wasn't looking much brighter at the beginning of last week. The sun gods must have felt sorry for all the hungry Cambridge residents and the happy restaurateurs though because an hour before the event was supposed to kick off, it cleared up into the most beautiful weather we've experienced all month!

With 61 Cambridge restaurants in attendance, there were food and drink samples for every palate. A few of my favorites included the refreshing Rhubard-Hibiscus Mouse with Yogurt Foam from Craigie on Main, Parmesan and Pesto Risotto Fritters from Tavern on the Square, and pretty much every dessert offering from Finale! Also, a big thank you to great guys at Iggy's Bread, who kept us company throughout the event and made the entire EveryScape office happy by sending us away with a big bag of their delicious bread.

Thanks Iggy's!

It was great to get out into the community, enjoy some tasty food and lively music and interact with EveryScape customers and site visitors. We introduced EveryScape to a number of Cambridge and Boston residents who are interested in using WebScapes to plan their next night out.

A big thanks to Denise Jillson and Robin Lapidus from the Harvard Square Business Association and Jeff Moy of the Hong Kong for putting on an amazing event. All proceeds went to Youth on Fire and Club Passim's Culture for Kids. If you didn't make it out this year, make sure you mark it on your calendar for next year as this event is not to be missed!
