    <description> <![CDATA[ 
It's back - The Taste of New Paltz is a premier event for residents, visitors, and local businesses in New Paltz NY and the entire Hudson Valley.

2012 marks the 22nd year of Taste of New Paltz, which is organized and run by the New Paltz Chamber of Commerce. It is the chamber's premier fund raising event and a great way to both sample and support Ulster County NY area restaurants, farms, and wineries. It is a great showcase for New Paltz NY a NatGeo &quot;Best Adventure Town&quot; and favorite among New Yorker seeking a mountain retreat with a quick &amp; easy commute to NYC
