Who doesn’t love a late night baconeggncheese? Now, rather than a roll, imagine it wrapped in everything Paratha made from scratch. Oh wait, you don’t need to – you can go get it tonight at 10:30pm. Part of Nishaan’s late night Ramadan drop series, this one is with Halwa, and it’s not to be missed.

Ramadan Pastel

🗓️ Thru Sun 3.8
: instagram @lisbonatanyc
Lisbonata always reimagines what the traditional Pastel de Nata could be, and this weekend they’re reimagining it to be a Ramadan celebration for your tastebuds. Rose and cardamom custard, layered with crunchy pistachio kataifi filling, covered with pistachio whipped cream, then topped with pistachios and rose petals. There couldn’t be a more fragrant or festive pastel.
French Toast
📍Sunday C&C
🏠 189 Wilson Ave, BK
🗓️ Thru Sun 3.8
: instagram @eatatsunday
Sunday C&C officially opened up their brick and mortar bakery, and that alone is something to celebrate. But they’re giving us something more to celebrate this weekend: a big, buttery french toast. A massive slice of milk bread, doused in panela maple syrup and butter. Bring some friends, order one for the table and let the celebration commence.
Sugar Hill Creamery x Je t’aime Patisserie
📍Sugar Hill Creamery
🏠 All locations
🗓️ Thru Sun 3.8

: instagram @sugarhillicecream
Sugar Hill Creamery is celebrating Women’s History Month with its Bakery Pint Series, a limited-edition run transforming signature desserts from Black women–owned NYC bakeries into ice cream, available one weekend at a time. This weekend’s drop is a collab with Je t’aime Patisserie, dropping a Toasted Almond Croissant Pint. The moment feels especially fitting because Je t’aime is on a female-collaboration tear right now, marking the first time in Must-Eats history we’re highlighting two collabs from the same chef at once.
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.
