Head to The Well in Bushwick for an all-you-can-drink tasting of over 100 small-batch beers, made exclusively for the event by 50 different breweries. You’ll be able to appreciate the nuances of craft beers and even squeeze in a little dancing with live music.

Located at the O’Shea Complex Schoolyard, this festival gathers 40 of the Upper West Side’s best eateries and throws them under one giant tent. Feel good about indulging, since all proceeds go to improvement and beautification projects in the neighborhood.
