30+ Mini "Dates" - Taste of the Town, January 4 - 31 , 2021

Taste of the Town has returned to The Woodlands this month, and in our opinion, it's better than ever! Rather than a single-location event where you gather with others in a hotel hall to sample light bites from various restaurants, this year's event will be a month-long extravaganza where you will actually go to several different participating restaurants, at your own convenience, from January 4 - 31.

With 30-40 local restaurants participating, this means you can buy a ticket for yourself and your partner and then plan 30-40 mini "dates" between now and the end of the month!
