Let’s be real…keeping track of all NYC’s food pop-ups and limited-edition dish drops has been nearly impossible. Over the last few decades, pop-ups have been on the rise in NYC and 8it has become the go-to source for tracking all of them and helping these entrepreneurial chefs get discovered. From chef residencies to sidewalk pop-ups, we’ve sifted through the culinary chaos on Instagram to bring you a handpicked selection of NYC’s finest pop-ups and limited-edition drops that you should dig into this week. Consider this your backstage pass to the hottest pop-ups & limited-edition eats in NYC! Dive into our weekly curated list of upcoming food adventures before they disappear 
February might be short on days, but it’s not short on flavor. This weekend you can taste enough to satisfy your palette through February 31st, although, of course you don’t need to. Now go make up for those lost days.
Ǎn Xôi
📍Falansai
🏠 120 Norman Ave, BK
🗓️ Sat 2.28 • 12-3pm
: instagram @empschultz
Ǎn Xôi takes over Falansai’s new Greenpoint spot for a tight lunch run before heading back to Vietnam for a few months. If you’ve been missing their sticky rice, this is your window. Go straight for the xôi xá xíu tôm khô, chewy rice loaded with char siu and dried shrimp, and the xôi viên trứng muối with that rich salted egg center. Add a bánh bao and don’t skip the palm sugar bánh bò thốt nốt… yes, we just recommended you order everything.
Zeena Bakery × Nishaan
📍Nishaan
🏠 160 1st Ave, NYC
🗓️ Sat 2.28 • 11pm till sell out

Nishann’s late night Ramadan series is packed with gems this weekend. Chaat Dog on Friday and Zeena Bakery on Saturday. Nishaan and Zeena Bakery are dropping a Tandoori Musakhan on Onion Sumac Focaccia… sounds like the perfect way to end the night.
Peanut Satay Chicken Sando
📍Pecking House
🏠 83 Henry St, NYC
🗓️ Thru Mon 3.1
: instagram @mamalams
Mama Lam’s, the mother-daughter duo behind some of the city’s sharpest small-batch Malaysian sauces, link with Eric Huang of Pecking House for a Peanut Satay Chicken Sando. Crispy fried chicken stacked with fresh cukes, pickled onions, and a thick swipe of peanut satay on brioche. It’s a texture and flavor bomb, and it’s only available until Monday.
Tết by Madam Vo
📍Madame Vo
🏠 212 East 10th St, NYC
🗓️ Thru Tues 3.3
: instagram @madamevonyc
Madame Vo goes all in for Tết, running their full holiday menu straight through the 15-day celebration, ending on Tuesday. Bánh Tét Chiên, pan-fried sticky rice cake with mung bean and pork, golden and crisp at the edges. Thịt Kho Trứng, caramelized pork belly and duck eggs braised until glossy and deep. Cá Chiên Hành Gừng, fried cod with ginger, scallion, and garlic soy. And for a sweet finish, the Prosperity Palm with coconut rum, pandan, and coconut milk.
Sasha Sarankin Residency
📍With Others
🏠 340 Bedford Ave, BK
🗓️ Thru Sun 3.8
: instagram @with.others.bk
One of our favorite pop-ups of 2025 is wrapping it’s month-long run next week: Chef Sasha Sarankin is serving up a Thai inspired wine bar menu at With Others. The hat yai fried chicken is non-negotiable. Add the southern monkfish curry with purple clams and betel leaf, and the pork jowl salad bright with pomelo and herbs. Oh and don’t forget to hit the milk bread with an aggressive amount of whipped white pepper butter between each bite. You’re welcome.
This is just a taste of what’s poppin’ in the 8it app. If you have any suggestions to make the 8it app experience even better than it already is, don’t hesitate to shoot us a DM.
