STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A free networking event for real estate professionals will blend business connections with a guided tasting tour of a North Shore food and drink scene on Nov. 12. The event begins at 6 p.m. at Build A Dream, located at 4 Minthorne St., Tompkinsville, where attendees will participate in introductions and networking. At 6:45 p.m., participants will embark on a bar crawl that includes three stops at nearby venues. The crawl starts at Flagship Brewing Co., where attendees will receive a behind-the-scenes brewery tour and beer sampling. The group will then move to Raval Steakhouse for a cheese and wine tasting before finishing at Mariachi Mexican Restaurant for tequila and margaritas. After the bar crawl, participants will return to Build A Dream for karaoke and music with a DJ to conclude the evening, which runs until midnight. Complimentary appetizers and wings will be served throughout the evening. All venues are located within the same strip, and free parking is available in a lot across the street. The evening promises a dynamic mix of networking, local flavor, and entertainment — all designed to help real estate professionals connect in a relaxed, festive setting.
