Rainbow Treats for June

Some of the best sweets to enjoy during Pride Month

June brings with it a lot of things: the official start of summer, Juneteenth, and National Best Friend Day (who knew?!) among them. But in New York City, there’s no event in June more celebrated with food than Pride. There are bakery and beer specials, collaboration dinners, and other food events across the city honoring the rainbow flag and all that it signifies for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. I love a food mash-up or specialty item, and I also love a challenge. So for me, Pride Month becomes a time to try not only the limited-edition baked goods gracing my feed, but also scout out colorful items you can find year-round (and are especially fun to eat this month). This list incorporates a bit of both: specials to try this June and rainbow items you can enjoy this month and beyond.
