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…
The World Cup Quarterfinals are here and the everyone is finally back from their 4th of July escape from the heatwave. There’s A LOT going on and you’ve got options, so we’ve put together a list of pop-ups, drops & collabs that’ll be worth eating this weekend.

One of our favorite Mexican restaurants and one of our favorite pizza spots are dropping two insane pizzas. The Papas Con Rajas Pizza is stacked with potato, poblano, corn, chihuahua cheese and salsa macha oil. But that’s not all… the A La Mexicana Pizza is layered with refried beans, chorizo, pickled jalapeño, and chile de arbol salsa. The crew is also hitting plates with Sonoran street food favorites, Super Vino Bros are pouring some faves, and Ace’s is shaking up Spicy Watermelon Mint Frozen Margaritas. Let the weekend begin.
