April 23

My condolences go out to those of you who have not had the good fortune to experience the cold, sweet beverage that is called the Orange Julius. A summer is just not summer if one hasn’t eaten a Nathan’s hot dog (though only when you get it at the Nathan’s in Coney Island) and drunk an Orange Julius. The drink is named after banker and pigeon racing enthusiast Julius Freed who died on the 23rd in 1952.
