We track the most time-sensitive drops across the city (from chef residencies to one-day collabs to sidewalk pop-ups) and every Friday we hand-pick the ones we’re especially excited for. Here’s this weekend’s must-eats…* NYC’s food scene has never been one-size-fits-all, and this weekend’s must eats makes that pretty clear. From Filipino bakery staples and Taiwanese street food to Thai desserts and Italian-ish yakitori, chefs across the city are serving up a little bit of home, a little bit of rule-breaking, and a lot that lands somewhere in between. ## **Khanoms Dessert Takeover** ##### 📍 KRU Brooklyn 🏠 190 N 14th St, BK • Williamsburg 🗓️ Sat 10.10 ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ##### ![](https://www.8it.world/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2026/10/IMG_5302-300x300.jpeg) *![📸](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f4f8.svg)*: *instagram @alidomrongchai* ** Khanoms is taking over dessert at Thai restaurant KRU for one night with a special fall menu drop.
