Taste of Asia is a one-of-a-kind culinary celebration that honors the richness of Asian cuisine and its power to bring communities together.
Hosted in beautiful Madison Square Park, this unforgettable night features more than 40 of New York’s top restaurants serving the best Asian-inspired dishes in the city. Taste of Asia continues to be a vibrant celebration of how food can unite, delight, and bridge cultures across our city.
Since 2021, Taste of Asia has welcomed nearly 1,000 guests each year, raising $4 million for Apex for Youth and Madison Square Park Conservancy. All proceeds from the night will go to these community-driven charitable partners.
Apex for Youth empowers Asian American youth from low-income and immigrant backgrounds to unlock their potential today and a world of possibility tomorrow.
With 1 in 2 Asian American youth living in or near poverty in NYC, our holistic approach is expertly tailored to our youth’s age, racial identity and socioeconomic status. Our programs combine impactful mentorship with access to critical resources for our youth and their families that would not have otherwise been available.
Madison Square Park Conservancy is the non-profit entrusted by the City of New York to operate Madison Square Park, a 6.2-acre green oasis in the heart of Manhattan. Our mission is to conserve, maintain, and program this ever-evolving historic green space, including raising 100% of the park’s operating budget. Our dedicated team takes great pride in caring for and shaping an urban oasis for all to enjoy.
