"North Jersey's original walk-around tasting event" will feature unlimited samples from top area restaurants, including entrees, desserts, and wines, spirits and craft beer.

The event, presented by the North Jersey Chamber of Commerce, will also include raffles and live entertainment by Michael Roselli. 

John DeRobertis said his bakery – DeRolicious Delights, a fifth-generation affair in Clifton – will be bringing cannoli and a mix of Italian cookies and butter cookies. 

That's the plan so far. They may bring even more. 

Another restaurant that will be showing off its eats is Solar do Minho, a Portuguese restaurant in Belleville. 

Owner Bethania Goncalves thought their plan included presunto, a traditional dry-cured ham; choriço, a roasted Portuguese sausage; and shrimp in garlic sauce.

"Everyone is invited, so enjoy a night out at this ultra-popular annual festival with your significant other, friends, family and work colleagues," organizers note. "Discover new restaurants in your area or your perhaps new favorite drink."

Other local restaurants and shops will include Fairfield's Antik Greek Kitchen, Wyckoff's Blue Moon Mexican Cafe, Marc's Cheesecake of Glen Rock, Fairfield's Jersey Spirits Distilling Company and Mother's Ale House of Wayne.
