NYC’s First Soup Dumpling Festival Will Give You Something To Slurp About This October

Forget that pumpkin spice latte, we’re warming ourselves up this autumn with soup dumplings! Where you might ask? Well at NYC’s first-ever soup dumpling festival taking over 6th Avenue this October.

The entire event is being put on by soup-dumpling powerhouse and Michelin Guide recommended, Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. Born out of Flushing, Queens, this iconic soup dumpling shop now has a location in Koreatown and the East Village.

Hungry guests will be able to attend the festivities on October 6th, from 10am – 6pm along 6th Avenue between 29th and 30th Street (near the Kimpton Hotel).

Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao honors Chinese comfort food and traditional Southern Chinese cuisine that will all be highlighted at the event.

Of course, you’ll be able to feast on their famous rainbow-colored soup dumplings, known as the Lucky Six Combo. However, there will be additional menu items beyond soup dumplings to enjoy.

  • Lucky Six Combo
  • Classics: crab meat & pork
  • Four Happiness Sponge Tofu
  • Pan Fried Pork Buns
  • Braised Beef Noodle Soup

And if you’re really into soup dumplings you can learn to make them yourself with classes offered during the festival both morning and afternoon. But be weary, the classes will only accept a capacity of 10-12 students.
