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 
After taking last week off to celebrate Steve and Mac 8it tying the knot 🥰 we’re back and hungry. This weekend’s Must-Eats is all about other blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments: limited drops from some of our favorite kitchens, a notoriously hard-to-book ramen spot throwing its doors… errr windows… wide open, and a wild collab that might genuinely break your brain.
Sunn’s Special Salad
📍Sunn’s
🏠 139 Division St, NYC
🗓️ Thru Fri 4.3
: instagram @sunnsnyc
Sunny Lee is gracing plates with another hit – but this one you can only get through tonight! Malaysian beef jerky from neighborhood staple, Ling Kee, and wok charred with mushrooms, folded into chrysanthemum and herbs from organic farmers’ co-op, Lancaster Farms. All served over her beloved whipped sesame jang.
Pizza Rustica
📍Settepani Bakery
🏠 All locations
🗓️ Thru Fri 4.3
: instagram @settepaninyc
New York’s Sicilian bakery institution, Settepani Bakery, is dropping an Easter tradition available through this evening. The Pizza Rustica might not be the kind of pizza you’re thinking of… this one is a pie filled with salami, prosciutto, mozzarella and egg enveloped in a flaky crust. Available at all Settepani Bakery locations and for order online today!
Ramen Cups Window Service
📍Ramen by Ra
🏠 70 E 1st St, NYC
🗓️ Sat 4.4
: instagram @ramenbyra
Chef Rasheeda Purdie knows that snagging a seat at Ramen by Ra isn’t a walk in the park… so tomorrow – on National Ramen Day – she’s opening her windows. Pass by at noon to get your hands on her BEC Ramen served in a to-go cup (vegetarian or pork), Broth Cups, and BEC Bao. No reservations, no pre-orders… just walk-up then keep on walkin’. Only available until sold out, so get there quick because you know it won’t last long.
Lori Jane × Titi’s Empanadas
📍Titi’s Empanadas, East Village
🏠 130 E 7th St, NYC
🗓️ Sat 4.4
: instagram @titisnyc
We never considered steak frites in different form until Tonchin Ramen put it in soup form last year… now our brains are breaking again. Lori Jane’s famous steak frites au poivre folded into a Titi’s arepa is just one of the menu items at tomorrow’s East Village collab pop-up. On top of that you can snag the lamb neck puff pastry empanada of the week, plus a surprise dessert empanada. Can’t make it to East Village? Swing by Titi’s Williamsburg location and keep your fingers crossed that the lamb neck empanada drop isn’t sold out yet!
Sunchoke Som Tum
📍Golden Diner
🏠 123 Madison St, NYC
🗓️ Thru Mon 4.6
: instagram @goldendinerny
Golden Diner staples like the Honey Butter Pancakes and Chinatown Egg & Cheese are no brainers… and their current drop is just an easy of a “yes”. Their spin on a traditional Thai Papaya Salad is piled high with both roasted and raw heirloom sunchokes, chayote and green papaya, a bright Thai dressing, and candied sunflower seeds. This drop is nearing the end, available only at dinner, until supplies last.
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.
STAY HUNGRY, NEVER HANGRY!
