I have learned that there is a holiday for pretty much any kind of food or drink that is out there, from beer to pretzels to chocolate and more. Dumplings are no exception, as September 26th marks National Dumpling Day. This gets me personally excited on a level that is almost frightening as I have a major obsession for all things dumplings and am elated that some of the top restaurants in New York City are doing something special to celebrate these 1 to 2-bite options.
Dumplings happen to be one of most versatile types of foods that are out there. They can be made from a variety of ingredients and stuffed with anything from lobster to mushrooms and more. Not only that, but its a beloved product that is loved by millions upon millions of people around the world.
Take a look at which places you should stop at for National Dumpling Day this coming Wednesday. Happy eating, everyone!
Hakkasan New York: Hakkasan New York’s upscale Cantonese menu offers a mouthwatering selection of dumplings, with flavors such as prawn and Chinese chive and pan-seared Shanghai dumplings.
