There are countless different verbs to describe what you can do at Spring Taste NYC: discover, socialize, indulge, and so on. But the most important word of all? It's got to be sample. At Spring Taste NYC, you'll sample dishes from numerous local restaurants, booze from breweries and wineries, and desserts from gelato shops and bakeries. You'll even have the chance to mingle with participating chefs and ask them burning questions, like if they've ever considered replacing their hands with spatulas. Here are just a few of this year's exhibitors:

• Savory: Davios, Felidia, Empire Steakhouse, Hendriks
• Sweet: L'Arte Del Gelato, Magnolia Bakery, Rita's Ice, Nouno's Creamery
