What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The product sampling events have genuinely strengthened our relationship with the neighborhood. Brands bring their own audiences, which means more people discovering our food vendors and dining options. We've seen returning customers who first heard about us through these activations, and it's helped us build real community loyalty.

Community Table Food Hall

Venue Partner

We've hosted three brand sampling events this summer and the energy has been incredible. Our regular vendors appreciated the boost in foot traffic, and customers told us they were more likely to visit the market again because of the free samples and interactive booths. It's become a win-win for everyone involved.

Astoria Park Vendors Collective

Venue Partner

Working with brands on sampling activations has added a whole new revenue stream for us beyond our regular events. The activation nights draw a younger crowd than our typical corporate bookings, and they spend money at our bar and food stations. Plus, our team loves the variety—it keeps things fresh.
