​SOUTH FLORIDA – Today is National Lobster Day so plan to celebrate at one of these six popular Palm Beach County seafood spots.
 
In 2014, Maine senators passed a bill to establish National Lobster Day—a holiday recognizing the delicacy’s place in American history and culture, the hard work of lobstermen, and the positive impact the seafood has had on economies in coastal regions. With lobster, there’s lots to celebrate, and in South Florida, there is no shortage of the decadent crustacean.
 
Yakitori Sushi House
Yakitori Sushi House is the go-to spot for authentic Japanese cuisine. The sushi and seafood dishes are divine, including their Signature Lobster Pad Thai ($35), with an 8 oz. lightly battered lobster tail, sauteed with rice noodles, egg, scallion, peanut, onion, and bean sprouts in a pad thai sauce. In honor of the holiday, Yakitori will be offering 30% off this delicious entrée.

Celebrate National Vodka Day

PictureBlueberry Mojito (Essentials group)
(PRESS RELEASE)_Delray Beach and Jupiter, FL—Vodka’s popularity in the United States can be traced back to the repeal of Prohibition and the purchase of a Connecticut-based distiller named Smirnoff in 1939. Today, Americans remain unquenchably fascinated by the colorless, odorless, and tasteless tipple renowned for its unflappable ability to stand alone and serve as the bedrock for such legends as the Cosmopolitan and Moscow Mule.
 
On October 4—National Vodka Day—fans of the apex spirit can imbibe their appreciation at one of hundreds of watering holes around the Palm Beaches, including Delray Beach’s Dada and Blackbird Modern Asian in Jupiter. Both award-winning dining establishments serve traditional vodka-infused libations and some that border on the eccentric.
