This October is Dirt Candy’s Sweet Sixteen Birthday and we’re celebrating all week long! Can you believe Dirt Candy is 16 years old??? She can drive!

To celebrate, we’re not just having a party, we’re having a full week of parties to celebrate not just this restaurant but the people who made this happen: you! We wouldn’t be here without your unwavering support over the past 16 years, and we'll never be able to thank you enough. It's been an honor to be a part of your lives since 2008.

We’ve got information about every single event at the links below so click on one, book yourself a table, and come celebrate 16 years of Dirt Candy with us!

Wednesday, October 30th
Way Back Wednesday!
We’re going back to the future by serving Dirt Candy’s first menu ever!

Thursday, October 31st
The Gratitude Gala
As a thank you to all of our customers we'll be serving some of your favorite dishes from over the years. This party is 100% free for our customers!

Friday, November 1st
The Great Canadian Beer Hall Returns!
Need we say more???

Satuday, November 2nd
Brunch Is Back!
For one day only! We miss it as much as you do!

16 years...can you believe it? There have been good times, and bad times, and hard times, and times that felt like dancing and you guys were there for every single minute of it. You've helped build this restaurant and we wouldn't be here — or be the same — without you. So thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

I also want to thank the amazing Dirt Candy team who make this restaurant what it is. This is Dirt Candy’s DNA: Jackie, Michael, Rachel, Maria, Andrew, Megan, Michaela, and Clinton — you are the real dream team. 

And finally, a very special thanks to Resy for helping make this crazy birthday week happen!

I’m GOING TO CROATIA! And I want you to come, too! I’ve always wanted to explore Croatia and figured it would be the best adventure ever if I brought my favorite customers along. There will be truffle hunting, foraging, winery tours, and spa days! For more information and to reserve a spot on this once-in-a-lifetime trip, head over here!

This October, I’ve teamed up with Jongga, Korea’s biggest No. 1 kimchi brand, to launch (P)reserve a Table, a free two-night dinner event here at Dirt Candy that’s part of their Generation Preservation campaign. The dinners will take place on Friday, October 7th and Saturday, October 8th.

We’ll be serving a five-course tasting menu highlighting Jongga Kimchi and fall vegetable varieties that have been protected thanks to the efforts made by Jongga’s non-profit partner, Seed Savers Exchange.

The dinner is free to attend. Reservations are limited to two seats per party and must be booked through our Resy page. All reservations start at 6:30PM and all guests will be seated at communal tables.

With this campaign, Jongga is connecting the Korean tradition of making kimchi – with fermentation at its core – to a more universal call to preserve the fruits and vegetables we enjoy every day.

NOTE: We are preparing a vegetarian and a vegan version of the menu, but unfortunately we can’t accommodate any other dietary restrictions.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Although the dinner is free, a credit card is needed to hold your reservation. You may cancel up to 24 hours before the dinner with no penalty, but if you cancel within 24 hours or less you will be charged $25.00 per guest (the cancellation fees will be donated to Jongga’s non-profit partner, Seed Savers Exchange.)

You can return here to (P)reserve your table on Friday, September 23rd at 9:00 AM.

It’s our final Pandemic menu! In two weeks, Dirt Candy is back open for indoor dining and a regular menu!

One of our very first Pandemic menus was Middle Eastern, so I wanted to bring things full circle by doing a completely new version for the very last. Besides, Paris is great in the Springtime, but nothing says warm weather dining to me like the flavors of Middle Eastern food.

FIRST COURSE
Mezze!
Charred Spring Onion Masabacha, Creamy Amba, Black Tahini Babaganoush, Herbed Falafel, Pickles, Pita

Dips and pickles with a delicious pita. Masabacha is somewhere between hummus and tahini only made with whole chickpeas, and black tahini cuts the sweetness of eggplant to deliver an all-new take on babaganoush. We’ve made an Amba (mango pickle) dip and then pickled tangy turnips, cooling cucumbers, hot peppers, and crispy cauliflower.

SECOND COURSE
Cucumber Avocado Salad!
Cucumber Cream Cheese, Pearl Onion, Mint and Lime Dressing

A cool and crunchy salad spiked with silky bites of avocado and bound together with lashings of housemade cucumber cream cheese, and topped with a simple lime and garlic dressing. We've piled it high with lots of mint and tiny onions, and the result is like lying down in the cool shade of a green valley. Super simple, super fresh, super Spring.

THIRD COURSE
Za'atar Crusted Cauliflower Schnitzel
with Green Zhoug and Creamy Garlic Sauce

Schnitzel is super popular in Israel because of all the German Jews who moved there and brought their food traditions with them. This is very thinly sliced cauliflower that's smoked, then dipped in za'atar batter, fried, and served over bright green zhoug (which is a spicy green pepper and herb sauce) and a creamy garlic sauce.

FOURTH COURSE
Tomatoes and Harrissa Couscous
Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Harissa Broth and Preserved Lemons

Lebanese couscous is big, fun, fat, and round and we've cooked it up in a harissa broth that brings just a hint of heat. It's served with roasted cherry tomatoes and preserved lemon, and then a touch of smoked dates that brings out the smokiness you find hiding down deep in harissa.

DESSERT
Fennel & Cheese Quatayef
Quatayefs are dumplings oozing with fennel and cheese.

This entire feast can be yours for only $55/person (includes tip, but not tax) and there’s a drink pairing for only $30 more.



Order us on Chownow, or Caviar, or Seamless for take-out or delivery.

But the best place to have this meal is on our patio. Totally safe, socially distanced, regularly inspected, it's got a roof so it's snug and dry even when it rains. There's no better way to eat this meal than outdoors on a warm Spring evening. You can make a reservation or just walk right up (although you'll probably need a reservation on the weekends).

We're right around the corner from Little Italy and it’s time we indulged. This menu is Dirt Candy’s take on a classic Italian American red sauce joint, only it’s celebrating Spring by indulging in big flavors, big dishes, and big fun, so think of it as Dirt Candy’s Green Sauce Menu!

FIRST COURSE
Antipasto Salad
dive into April with this super green salad of celery, green olives, marinated yuba, grilled zucchini, romaine lettuce, and pepperoncini tossed in a creamy vinaigrette

SECOND COURSE
Crispy Caulifower Scampi
Olive Garden’s fried shrimp scampi is about as all-American as you can get, but instead of tossing shrimp in butter and garlic, Dirt Candy tosses lightly fried orange cauliflower in tarragon, garlic, and Calabrian chilis to make a lighter, spicier, vegetable version

THIRD COURSE
Carrot Pepperoni Pizza
The big reason we're bringing this menu back is because everyone loves our carrot pizza. It's one of the best vegetable treats to come out of the Dirt Candy kitchen and it's the perfect pizza for Spring. The dough is made with carrot juice, it’s slathered in a tangy carrot marinara sauce, and topped with carrot pepperoni, mozzarella, and fresh basil…why put vegetables on your pizza when you can make an entire pizza out of vegetables?

FOURTH COURSE
Verde Spaghetti alla Vodka
If there's one dish you'll find on every single Little Italy menu, it's penne alla vodka. Our version is tweaked for Spring, hearty and filling but super green and refreshing, too! We make bright green spaghetti with kale juice, toss it in a green vodka sauce, and top it with pecorino romano. It’s pasta that feels like the whole world is waking up.

DESSERT
Asparagus Tiramisu
Sounds weird, tastes delicious. Layers of asparagus cake alternating with layers of asparagus lemon crème, it’s like a gentle cloud with a delicate asparagus flavor. Much more refreshing than a normal tiramisu, this is exactly what you’d get if someone asked what you wanted for dessert and you said, “Spring.”

And of course, there’s a beverage pairing! This time around it’s going to include a white negroni, prosecco, and more surprises.

This entire vegetable festino can be yours for only $55/person (tip included, but not tax) and the drink pairing is only $30.



Order us on Chownow, or Caviar, or Seamless for delivery. And if you join Taste you can have Dirt Candy delivered anywhere in the city on Friday and Saturday nights.



Even better, our patio is the place to be now that the warm weather is here. Totally safe, socially distanced, regularly inspected, and it's got a roof so it's snug and dry even with April showers. You can make a reservation or just walk right up (although you'll probably need a reservation on the weekends).

Everyone loves Paris in the Springtime, even if you’ve never been there, because it just sounds absolutely lovely. Now that spring is definitely on its way, Dirt Candy is embracing that mood with our Paris in Springtime dinner menu.

SPRINGTIME IN PARIS MENU

First Course
Baguette, Butter and Mushroom Mousse
A demi baguette from Partybus bake shop with a hefty round of French butter and our creamy, savory Portobello mousse.

Second Course
Rainbow Carrot Salad
Carrot socca, carrot crème fraiche, carrot greens and lemon dijon vinaigrette
Socca is a thin, crispy chickpea crêpe from the south of France. We've added a little bit of carrot juice and a schmear of carrot crème friache, then piled it high with a tangle of rainbow carrots to make it our most colorful salad yet.

Third Course
All the shades of Green Bouillabaisse
Asparagus, peas, smoked kale broth, spinach dumplings, and green garlic rouille
We've updated France's classic seafood stew with vegetables. It's a big bowl of spring, anchored by a rich, layered, smoked broth made of kale, studded with spinach dumplings, and topped with a tongue-tingling green garlic rouille, which is a classic sauce for bouillabaisse made with olive oil, breadcrumbs, garlic, saffron, and pounded cayenne peppers.

Fourth Course
Cheese Course
A small plate of French cheeses served with fruit and nuts before you have dessert.

Dessert
Spring Paris Brest
We aren’t sure what vegetable Rachel is going to layer her Paris Brest with, but we're just as excited to find out as you.

You can experience Springtime in Paris for only $55 (includes tip but not tax)
And for only $30 more we'll create **a special drink pairing** for you that's going to feature some really amazing French wines by female winemakers.



Order us on Chownow, or Caviar, or Seamless for delivery. Or if you join Taste you can have Dirt Candy delivered anywhere in the city on Friday and Saturday nights.



Even better, enjoy this gorgeous spring weather on our totally safe, socially distanced, regularly inspected, and absolutely lovely patio.

You can make a reservation or just walk right up (although you'll probably need a reservation on the weekends).

And it's not just our Springtime in Paris menu. You can order and eat our all-day menu anytime you'd like.

Back by popular demand! Guests insisted, so we’ve brought back our Thai menu with some tweaks and polishes, but otherwise unchanged. Except this time, it’s even better!
(Also, 5% of this week’s profits will be donated to the AAPI Community Fund.)

Almost every single dish on this menu is vegan, but let us know when you order if you want the entire meal made vegan.

FIRST COURSE
Sai Oua (Northern Thai Sausages)
With galangal, cucumbers, and mint

SECOND COURSE
Yum Som-O (Pomelo Salad)
With crispy watercress, Thai basil, toasted coconut, and shallots. If you've never had them before, pomelo are those giant grapefruity orbs you see in Chinatown. They taste a little like grapefruit but I think they're slightly more delicate.

THIRD COURSE
Butternut Squash Tom Kha Kai
Tom kha kai is a sour & spicy coconut milk soup usually made with chicken. Our version uses butternut squash broth with roasted delicata squash, King Oyster mushrooms, and Nam Prik Pao, which is a roasted chili pepper jam.

FOURTH COURSE
Winter Greens Pad Thai
We've done a butternut squash pad thai in the past but those noodles won't travel, so I wanted to come up with a heartier version that still dances and dazzles. This one uses rice noodles with kale, spinach, bean sprouts, preserved turnips, and brined tofu.

FIFTH COURSE
Brussels Sprout Larb
Served on a sizzling lave stone in the restaurant only. (Our delivery guys really don't want to carry hot lava rocks.) Shredded Brussels sprouts cooked with lots of lime, cilantro, mint, and a healthy amount of chili peppers. You wrap it in iceberg lettuce leaves with toasted rice and crispy shallots.

DESSERT
Yellow Curry Doughnut
Last time it was a green curry doughnut, this time it's yellow curry, served with green papaya and caramelized puffed rice

This entire Thai party is only $55 (includes tip but not tax)

And for only $30 we'll create a special drink pairing for you that'll include beers, wines, and cocktails.



Order us on Chownow, or Caviar, or Seamless for delivery. Or if you join Taste you can have Dirt Candy delivered anywhere in the city on Friday and Saturday nights.



Even better join us on our totally safe, socially distanced, regularly inspected, and absolutely gorgeous patio, especially this week since it's suddenly all WARM & SPRINGY!!!! It's even got a roof, so don't worry about the rain.

You can make a reservation or just walk right up (although you'll probably need a reservation on the weekends).

As we all start coming out of our long, dark tunnel everyone needs some comfort and there’s nothing more comforting than Breakfast at Dinner. It’s a perfect childhood treat, so treat yourself this week while the weather’s warm and have Dirt Candy’s Dinnertime Breakfast Feast!

The Menu

Butternut Lox, Seaweed Caviar and Black Pepper Waffle Platter
It’s our bread course, it’s our appetizer, it’s a smorgasbord of fun. There’s Garlicky Chex Mix with parsley and aged cheddar, carrot Bellini jam, maple butter, and chives. Spread it on a waffle or eat it by the handful, it’s just as delicious either way.

Everything Bagel Breakfast Salad
Two breakfast traditions on one plate: bagels for breakfast, and the traditional scoop of cottage cheese and melon slice. This breakfast salad is cottage cheese, avocado, grapefruit, almonds, iceberg lettuce ribbons, and everything bagel seasoning, covered with a lemon honey vinaigrette.

Mushroom Shakshuka
Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern dish of baked eggs in tomato sauce, but we’re baking our slow poached eggs in a grilled portobello sauce with crispy honshimeji mushrooms and lashings of labneh.

Savory Oat Congee
Congee is a Chinese rice porridge that’s popular for breakfast, but we’ve made our porridge out of creamy steel cut oats in a ginger broth to give it a chewy, nutty texture. Combined with a scallion puree, roasted flowering cauliflower, sauteed amaranth leaves, long beans, black vinegar yuba and chili oil there’s something different in every bite.

Caramelized Maple Onion Sticky Bun
The onions bring out the maple, turning this into one of the richest, most decadent sticky buns you’ve ever put in your mouth.

This entire vegetable feast can be yours for only $55/person (including tip, but not tax)
There’s a beverage pairing including bubbles, wine, and a special dessert cocktail 
for only $30

Order us on:

We've almost made it through winter, so let's pull on our warm party pants, wrap a few miles of beads around our necks, and celebrate Mardi Gras!

THIS DINNER IS SOLD OUT! WE LOVE YOU, TOO!

If the previous 12 months have taught me anything it's that you never put off love for later because who knows what's happening tomorrow? If there was ever a time to wear our hearts on our sleeves, that time is now. So seize the moment and let the people you love know how much they mean to you, and let us help, with Dirt Candy’s Valentine’s Day menu:

FIRST COURSE
Seaweed Caviar Sandwich with Chives

SECOND COURSE
All the Vegetable Hearts Salad
A fresh green salad made with every heart you can find in the vegetable kingdom: hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, endive hearts, hearts of lettuce, celery, and on, and on, all the hearts you can imagine.

THIRD COURSE
Rainbow Carrot Wellington with Carrot Top Sauce
It's a gorgeous little Wellington in purple and orange and gold, with a bright green sauce made out of carrot greens. You know, the part most people throw away without thinking twice, but that have so much love to give.

FOURTH COURSE
Super Decadent Truffle fondue served with baby potatoes, mushrooms and baguette

FIFTH COURSE
Red Beet Spaghetti with Pink Beet Petals in a preserved lemon sauce
As vibrant and red as your heart.

DESSERTS
Parsnip Pistachio Opera Cake
Pastry Chef Rachel’s Amazing Bonbons
What's Valentine's Day without sweets? So we’re sending you two desserts! The first is an amazing, delicate, layered chocolate and coffee cake and the second are some of the most incredible chocolates you’ll ever taste.

This entire menu is only $95 (includes tip but not tax)

There's also a drink pairing to go along with the meal for $50. Trust us, it's Valentine's Day and we know that requires some serious celebration, so we'll be bringing the big drinks.

Because we're closed Sunday (actual Valentine's Day) we'll be offering this as a meal kit for pick-up starting at 4pm on Saturday, February 13th or for delivery from 4:30pm to 9pm that same day. I promise we'll make it as simple as possible to put together. We learned a lot from our NYE meal kits (like, fewer ramekins).

You can order the meal kit for Saturday, February 13th via ChowNow but if you live outside their delivery zone, we're partnering with Taste, so you can sign up for their mailing list and they'll deliver it anywhere in NYC.

If you want us to make and serve this meal to you, we'll be serving our Valentine's Day menu on our heated patio on Saturday, February 13th from 5:30pm until 9pm. Just make a reservation!

Valentine's Day reservations for the patio, pre-orders for ChowNow, and Taste pre-orders will all go live at noon on Tuesday, February 2nd, and we'll be taking orders and reservations until February 10th or until we run out of meals!

(Please note: Due to limitations with ChowNow’s system, it will only accept orders 5 days in advance. Go ahead and order the Valentine’s Day Dinner and pick the latest day it will accept and make a note of what time you’d like to pick it up or what time you’d like it delivered. We’ll know that the pick up or delivery is for 2/13 and handle the arrangements from there.)

One of the nice things about being a chef is that occasionally some board of tourism will send you on a trip (remember trips?) and you get to do a deep dive on a cuisine you never got to explore enough before. Last year, I was lucky enough to go to Japan and while I incorporated some of things I learned into previous menus, this is the first time I’ve gotten to go totally Japanese.

First Course
Roasted Japanese Sweet Potato with Soy and Chive Butter and Maple Togarashi  Creamy Dip
grilled tableside

Second Course
 Soft and Crunchy Tofu Salad with Little Gem Lettuce and Yuzu Tamari Dressing

 Third Course
Butternut Squash Curry Katsu with Daikon Pickles and Ginger Rice

Rice Pudding Sushi with Cucumber Cake, Cream Cheese Frosting, Sweet Butternut Squash,
Avocado Mousse, and Soy Sauce Caramel

There's also a drink pairing to go along with the meal. For only $30 we'll deliver a flight of sake (drink them all at once or savor them slowly) plus a hot toddy made from Japanese whisky.

Order us on Chownow, or Caviar, or Seamless for delivery. Or if you join Taste you can have Dirt Candy delivered anywhere in the city on Fridays and Saturdays.

Even better, show that you aren't scared of winter and join us on our totally safe, completely inspected, and absolutely heated party patio. You can make a reservation or just walk right up (although you'll probably need a reservation on the weekends).

The best way to blast the cold right out of your bones is with the big, sour, spicy, bitter, and sweet flavors of Thailand. None of us can go there right this minute, but that doesn’t mean we can’t bring Thailand here, or at least the Dirt Candy version. Think of us as a two-week pop-up serving the best Thai vegetables in New York City.

Our six-course dinner menu is:

Sai Oua (Northern Thai Sausages)
with galangal, cucumbers, and mint
vegan

Yum Som-O (Pomelo Salad)

For only $30 more we’ll put together a drink pairing for you that’s a combination of beers, wines, and cocktails.

Order us on Chownow, or Caviar, or Seamless for delivery. Or if you join Taste you can have Dirt Candy delivered anywhere in the city on Friday or Saturday.

[One note: the larb is only served on the sizzling hot lava stone at Dirt Candy. We couldn’t make our poor delivery guys carry that around.]

If you want to try this menu out in person, come on down and join us on our totally safe, completely inspected, and absolutely heated patio. You can make a reservation or just walk right up (although you'll probably need a reservation on the weekends).

ON OUR PATIO
Our patio will be open on 12/31 starting at 5:30pm with our last seating at 8:45pm. You can make a reservation now, and we’ll send you home with the caviar for midnight, heating instructions for the tater tots, and breakfast the next day.

PRE-ORDER
If you’re super organized and would like to pre-order now and partially prepare your meal, email Jackie@dirtcandynyc.com before noon on 12/31 and she’ll sort out all the details with you. We can pack it for you in advance like a meal kit and while there will be a little bit of heating and mixing the night of, we’ll keep it simple. You'll be able to pick up on 12/31 starting at 4pm.

Or you can pre-order it for delivery on 12/31 through Jackie, too. It’ll arrive after 5:30pm ready to eat, except for the tater tots but they’ll come with heating instructions.

REGULAR DELIVERY & PICK-UP
We’ll be keeping our delivery sites open until 8:45pm on 12/31 if you’re more of the spontaneous type. Anything ordered after 5:30pm on the 31st will be sent out like our normal ready to eat dinner. You'll also be able to pick-up anytime after 5:30pm. And, of course, depending on the site you use you can pre-order for the prepared or meal kit version online as soon as they go live.

It took a lot of experimenting to figure out how to deliver these traditional flavors with nothing but vegetables, but I think we nailed it! Welcome to…

Classic French

Le Carte
(that’s French for menu!)

L’amuse-bouche et Le Pain
Red Onion Tartare, Portobello Mousse, and Whipped Butter with Warmed Baguette

L’Entrée
Tempura Beet-Stained Egg on Frisée with Beet “lardon” and Red Beet Vinaigrette

Le plat principal
Choke au Vin Blanc
Roasted sunchokes, crispy artichoke hearts, sauteed baby artichokes, and shaved sunchokes cooked in a Riesling and Cynar cream sauce, and finished with tarragon and parsley.
(I want everyone to know that this is exactly what you should be eating on a cold winter night. I have never felt more certain of anything in my life.)

Le Fromage
Three French cheeses accompanied by fruits & nuts

Le Dessert
Roasted Acorn Paris Brest with Candied Sunflower Seeds

Price: $55/person (includes tip, but not tax)

Being French, we are also offering a wine pairing for an additional $30/person.

WARNING: many diners believe that they are in Paris while eating this menu, and some have developed French accents.

NOTE: Beret not included.

Make a reservation for our heated and super-safe party hut or order Classic French for take-out or delivery. You can also order delivery from Seamless and we’re on Caviar which has an even wider delivery zone.

We’re changing things around and starting our new dinner menu at the end of the week because it’s our…

Thanksgiving Leftovers Menu!

It’s the first time we’ve done a Thanksgiving menu, so we’re all pretty excited. And what’s the best part of Thanksgiving? The leftovers! This menu will end on December 5, so it’s one week only!

It starts with a sautéed Brussels Leaf Salad. Hiding beneath a mound of garlicky Brussels sprout leaves are toasted pepitas, roasted Brussels sprouts, mint, parsley and a bit of labneh finished with a lemon vinaigrette.

 Next up is the star of the menu, a whole delicata squash stuffed with cornbread and king oyster mushroom stuffing. It’s then given a nice hot oil bath until it’s super crispy and then sliced. We have all different sizes of the squash so don’t be surprised if you order for four people and you get a single 40lb state fair winning gourd. We recommend drowning it in our super mushroomy black mushroom gravy.

The stuffed squash comes with a beet and whipped goat cheese trifle, the creamiest of creamy mashed potatoes, drenched in a sweet pea crème, green beans served mac and cheese style, and the cutest little roll ever with cranberry butter.

Finally, our pastry chef, Rachel, decided that she was against pies this year so instead she made the most decadent Chocolate and Mushroom Cookiepie. Is it a cookie? Is it a tiny pie? Try one and decide for yourself. All we know is that it’s delicious.

The menu is $55/person (included tips but not tax)
$25 more for a drink pairing.

Order now for delivery or take-out or make a reservation to dine with us in our heated, totally safe, recently-inspected party hut.
