Food Fête has compiled a list of every foodie holiday in the month of June. These are days, weeks and months dedicated to one type of food exclusively. Out of all of the ways to revel as a culinary enthusiast living in Manhattan this summer —these dates should be at the top of your list.
National Dairy Month: Celebrates all things dairy (e.g., cheese). Try something new this year, like a Croque Monsieur (i.e., a Parisian ham and cheese sandwich) at La Maison du Croque Monsieur or cheese pierogies (i.e., Polish dumplings) at Neptune Restaurant.
National Seafood Month: Sample fish tacos at Toloache NYC. There is JM Langosta—spicy lobster tacos, Camaron—garlic-chipotle shrimp tacos, or JM Pescado—Baja-style fluke tacos.
Sustainable Seafood Week (June 22-28): BKB, a Hamptons-based eatery, will be offering specials throughout the week, including a $1 oyster happy hour.
National Steakhouse Month: Eat at America’s oldest restaurant, Delmonico’s, as steak is a signature of the restaurant group. They serve a variety of wet and dry-aged steaks, including Filet Mignon, Prime New York Strip and Double Porterhouse.
National Candy Month: Finish the month at Cacao Market—a chocolate factory in Brooklyn established by Mariebelle New York. They create exceptional chocolate, as well as other sweets.
National Apple Strudel Day (June 17): Try the warm apple strudel at Café Katja on Orchard St. It will not disappoint.
International Picnic Day (June 18): Pick up food from the grab-and-go at The Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, or indulge in a crepe from Cacao Market near McCarren Park in Brooklyn.
National Martini Day (June 19): Drink at 21 Club, a former speakeasy of the Prohibition Era, and try the 21 Martini—a blend of Ketel One Vodka or Plymouth Gin mixed with vermouth.
National Chocolate Éclair Day (June 22): Ladurée—an upscale Parisian bakery that is prominent for their macarons also crafts exceptional chocolate éclairs. Try them.
National Onion Ring Day (June 22): Taste Delmonico’s Crispy Ale-Battered Onion Rings and get the buttermilk blue cheese dressing smothered on top or on the side.
National Pralines Day (June 24): End the month where the Belgian praline originated—Neuhaus, a chocolatier with 160 years of experience under their belt. Sample signature pralines, such as Manon, Divine, Albert, and Astrid, or try one of their new flavors.
