“Taste of Thayer Street” returned for its second year Wednesday evening, featuring 17 restaurants and seven retail stores, including the Brown Bookstore.
In contrast to last year’s $30 ticket, this year’s tickets were $23 for adults, $15 for students and $7 for children. “We wanted the tickets to be a little more inclusive,” said Donna Personeus, executive director of Thayer Street District Management Authority, which hosted this year’s event.
All tickets allowed attendees to try free samples at participating restaurants and claim discounts at participating retail stores. Adult and student tickets included two free drink vouchers, while a children’s ticket included one.
Thayer Street was shut down from Bowen Street to Angell Street, allowing people to walk freely between vendors without worrying about traffic. Parking was provided at two University lots: No. 11 and No. 44.
