Keeping up with NYC’s food pop-ups and limited dish drops is basically a full-time job. 8it does it for you. 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…
This weekend’s must eat pop-ups and drops are showing up in small rooms with short menus and chefs fully in it. From a bodega backyard to a hallway turned wine bar, chefs are making the most of their space and leaning into the neighborhood. Here are five must eat pop-ups and drops you need to hit this weekend.
