As far as local "Taste ofs" go, the
Taste of Rockville might be our new favorite. Yesterday marked my first visit (at and around
Rockville Town Square.) Nestled amongst the Montgomery County courthouses, the two-day celebration (pretty much) dodged a weather bullet, which left plenty of time for me to explore all
four music stages of the
Hometown Holidays Music Festival, and the delectable row of restaurants offering tasty bites for 1-5 tickets ($1.25 per.) Our favorite?
Saffron Indian Cuisine's Vegetable Samosa, a two-ticket bargain with a crispy exterior and incredibly moist filling.
Pinstripes placed a close second with its equally affordable Barbecue Pulled-Pork Slider (great flavor.) Best value went to
California Tortilla, which offered not one, but
two Classic Chicken Tacos for a mere single ticket. Here's some of our favorite memories (and morsels) of the day...
Missed this weekend's festivities? There's still fun to be had today, including a Memorial Day Ceremony at 9:30 AM, followed by the 75th Annual Memorial Day Parade at 10:30 AM (
