Kosher Date-Night Dining
Tu B'Av is one of the most popular nights of the summer for kosher fine-dining reservations. Couples celebrate with steakhouse dinners, sushi tasting menus, or upscale Mediterranean. Reservations should be made well in advance at popular kosher restaurants in Brooklyn, Lakewood, Teaneck, Miami, and Los Angeles.
Wedding and Engagement Menus
Tu B'Av is one of the most popular days of the year for Jewish weddings and engagement parties. Kosher caterers and event venues book months in advance for the day. Engagement parties often feature wine, fruit, and a sweet table to symbolize the sweetness of the union.
Symbolic Sweets
Honey, dates, figs, and other sweet fruits associated with love and the Land of Israel are popular on Tu B'Av. Some families prepare a special seudah (festive meal) with these foods as a reminder of the day's themes of love and renewal.
Wine and Grape Products
The ancient Tu B'Av celebrations took place in vineyards, and wine remains a key part of the day's symbolism. Kosher wineries often release special bottlings around Tu B'Av, and the day is a popular time for kosher wine tastings and pairing dinners.
