The annual Taste of Dorchester event, put on by the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance (MAHA), was back in full force last Thursday night, April 28, after two years of postponement due to Covid-19 restrictions. Last week’s event brought out the best of the neighborhood’s restaurants – both the tried-and-true favorites and some new gems that have opened. Highlights ranged from savory meatballs to smokey brisket to spicy jerk Mac ‘n Cheese - with tasty cupcakes and all kinds of ice cream offerings. The event was well-attended at the IBEW Hall on Freeport Street, and a success for MAHA and its sponsors. Photos by Seth Daniel
