Every single day in the calendar year has some sort of holiday that celebrates everything including animals, food, drink and more (we just celebrated National Fried Chicken Day last month). Today, we celebrate the salty & potato-ey goodness that is french fries! July 13th marks National French Fry Day, and several restaurants around Manhattan are celebrating in a big way and want you to share in all of its deliciousness!
Take a look at these delicious options for National French Fry Day, and make sure you come hungry as they are ready to put you in the best french fry frenzy in the world!
