Dine Around Downtown 2018

Rejoice New Yorkers! It’s that extraordinary time of year again. Häagen-Dazs® Free Cone Day is back, so join them for the celebration on May 8th at a participating shop near you. Indulge in one of their extraordinary flavors and enjoy a mini cone completely FREE!

A Day For Our Hardest Workers

Häagen-Dazs is dedicating this Free Cone Day to our buzziest workers- the honey bees. In recent years, the honey bee population has been disappearing at an alarming rate, affecting pollination and putting our food system at risk. For the past decade, Häagen-Dazs has been a big defender of honey bees who help us create our most beloved flavors like Strawberry, Rocky Road and Mango. As a part of the “Häagen-Dazs loves Honey Bees Initiative”, they hope to give our flying friends some much needed recognition this Free Cone Day.

How You Can Help

• Support the buzz by visiting a Häagen-Dazs shop for Free Cone Day
• Donate to further the research about the bees and how best to protect their habitat
• Bee a friend of the bees and spread the word

Come Join Us!

Claim your free cone by visiting a participating shop near you between 4-8pm on May 8th. Share your Free Cone Day fun with #HDFreeConeDay, and you could be featured on our Instagram!
