This month’s event guide is brought to you by Fruit Riot, a product that is beloved by our team. Made with real frozen fruit pieces tossed in a candy coating, Fruit Riot lies just at the intersection of real fruit and sour candy.
Find it in the frozen fruit aisle, or for delivery at Target. Thanks to Fruit Riot for supporting People & Food.
At People & Food, our goal is to change where folks choose to eat. Away from the chains and VC-backed restaurants that most publications and influencers are covering, and towards the small eateries and mom-and-pop businesses that we all love and want to preserve.
Our list of pop-ups and events is curated with that mission in mind. If you see an event that deserves a mention and aligns with our mission, please drop us a line and we’d be happy to add it.
This is a monthly column, and we will be updating it as we learn of more events. Thanks for your support. - Rob, Angela, Sangita and Alexa
November is coming in hot with a crossover of epic proportions: Halloween on Saturday leading in to the New York City Marathon on Sunday (with an extra hour added in between). It’ll be a non-stop party all weekend, and we’re sharing some of the best pop-up bites along the way.
Later in the month, the focus turns to community-driven dining experiences for Thanksgiving, as well as the first events of the holidays! No matter how you slice it, it’s going to be an exciting food month all over the city. Here's what's on our radars so far.
