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 
Monday is 420, and if you’re participating, you likely expect to eat… too much. So rather than it coming out of left field, we recommend you prime your stomach. This weekend, it’s about endurance – hit as many pop-ups, limited dish drops and collabs as possible – and you’ll be in a good place come Monday. Here are five to get you started…

Chef Pauline Buth has news… some would interpret it as wonderful and others will be heartbroken. This Sunday is going to be one of her last pop-ups for a while… because she’s joining the team at Bong! So let’s go send her off, Num Pang Pâté in hand. Pauline, can we make a special olive oil cake request so help us celebrate??

To do summer right, delicatessen, Gertie, launched a Bagels with Buddies series, where they’re turning bagel and latke dreams into realities with their friends. The collab streak kicked off with Chef Gail Simmons and today’s the last day to get it. The sandwich? Montreal steak seasoning bagel, soft scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, green peppers, hot dog, and beef salami, cheddar cheese and spicy brown mustard.

The culinary team from Demo launched a new restaurant in the Lower East Side, and we’re here for anything they do. The menu at Bufón typically serves up classic European-inspired cuisine, while also drawing on international techniques and ingredients. But this Sunday, Chef Dina Fan is serving a special Izakaya menu alongside a selection of sake from Zev Rovine Selections. There aren’t many spots yet so grab yours.

Caffè Panna is collaborating with Laab Bar to drop a Mango Sticky Rice Sundae available through Sunday. Mango ice cream with coconut caramel, mango coulis, toasted coconut, panna, topped Laab Bar’s coconut sticky rice arancini… sounds like the perfect weekend treat.

Ego Death is a pop-up that serves up zero waste feasts rooted in a minimal, brutalist style of cooking. This weekend’s resident chef has served his time in some of your favorite spots like Four Horsemen, Bridges and Estela. Through Sunday, you can get Chef Shom Mazumder-Colley’s menu that’s sourced straight from the Union Square Greenmarket, with a daily nigiri special and dishes like crab stuffed perilla, beef tartare and more.
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.
