Get Hungry: Dine Around Downtown Returns on June 11!

The rumors are true: We are just a few weeks away from the much-beloved Dine Around Downtown community food festival, which returns this year on June 11, 2025. Dine Around Downtown has been bringing the neighborhood’s restaurateurs together for this annual lunchtime celebration since 1997, and this year folks will once again have the opportunity to sample signature menu dishes at a feast of Lower Manhattan restaurants for $5 to $10.

Head to Fosun Plaza at 28 Liberty St. from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. to peruse the offerings from 48 local restaurants, more than twice the number we started with at our first Dine Around nearly 30 years ago. There’ll also be opportunities to win cool prizes, score Downtown Alliance merch and purchase signed books from celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito, who will return as our event host and emcee. The festival is open to the public, and admission is free. For food purchases, cash is generally accepted and ATMs are located near the plaza. Check out the full list of participating restaurants and menu items on our website — looking forward to seeing everyone there!
