The other night I had the pleasure of attending the first ever Tap'd Eats & Drinks Pairing held at Dogmatic, a gourmet sausage eatery in Union Square. For those of you thinking, "What a clever name," there's much more to this bottled water than meets the eye. Tap'd NY works with the cities public water system to provide consumers the world's best tasting water, purified through reverse osmosis. That's right, it's tap water! They highly encourage to first drink your own water, but if you happen to be out and about and find yourself thirsty, instead of purchasing a bottled water that traveled many miles, support your local water system first.
Onto the pairing: Dogmatic's local, handcrafted sausages from Violet Farms in the Catskills washed down with a cold bottle of Tap'd NY. All Dogmatic sausages are grilled to order and served on toasted Artisan bread, baked fresh every day in Long Island City with a homemade sauce.
The verdict: A gourmet sausage eatery is a great idea, though Dogmatic still needs some tweaking. While the sausages are well seasoned, they tend to be on the dry side. The bread is fresh and delicious, but the bread-to-sausage ratio is overwhelming. Finally, the sauces paired with the "dogs" were tasty, but again, just too much. I asked for "light on the sauce" on both of my dogs and still found it to be oozing out of the bread. You can't leave without trying one of their homemade sorbets. I tried the orange sorbet and it tasted like I was biting into a frozen, freshly picked orange. I can see myself stopping in during the dead-heat of summer to cool down with one of these refined, citrus-packed push up pops.
Try: Grass-Fed Beef with Cheddar Jalapeno Sauce and a cold bottle of Tap'd NY.

So, yeah, I like the honesty of this product and I'd buy it (if I lived anywhere near NY) just because it supports the local economy.

If it's good enough to drink from the tap then just drink it from the tap. I live in Fl with some of the worst tasting water in the world. I just run all I drink through a Brita.
