Here’s What’s on the Menu at Dine Around Downtown

Come with your napkins and stomachs ready — Dine Around Downtown is back on Wednesday, June 11, and this year’s lineup is tastier than ever. From 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Fosun Plaza (28 Liberty St.) will transform into the ultimate open-air food hall, bringing together a record 48 local restaurants for a lunchtime celebration of Lower Manhattan’s culinary scene.

Since it launched in 1997, Dine Around has been the single best opportunity to sample the signature dishes from some of Manhattan’s most talented chefs, all of which are on offer for only $5 to $10 this year. With several newcomers, Dine Around’s newest iteration will bring together a diverse range of culinary prowess, ranging from La Marchande’s elevated French bites to Otani’s Japanese comfort food. 

By having Dine Around be a zero-waste event, the Alliance aims to uphold its commitment to sustainability in Lower Manhattan, especially during large-scale events such as this. To that end, please look for our composting and recycling stations scattered throughout the area. Newcomers, fear not! We will have experts ready to assist you in proper waste disposal at every station. Please do not hesitate to ask them about this and other zero-waste programs available in the neighborhood. 

Once again hosting the festival this year is none other than celebrity chef, cookbook author and James Beard award-winner Rocco DiSpirito. In addition to returning as our emcee, he’ll be signing copies of his cookbooks “Everyday Delicious” and “Rocco’s Keto Comfort Food Diet.”

This year’s event — which features nearly three times the number of restaurants we started with in 1997! — introduces an exciting slate of newcomers joining the Dine Around roster, including Brooklyn Chop House, La Marchande and Printemps’s Café Jalu. 

Of course, all your beloved returning favorites will be there too — from the mini lobster rolls from Luke’s Lobster, to the iconic steak sandwich from Delmonico’s.
