Canal Street Market

"Vendors at Canal Street Market’s food hall are gradually making a return. A new Mexican spot called Mi Pueblito has joined the lineup and is serving up burritos, tacos, and rice platters. Asian pastry spot Domi is serving up black sesame profiteroles, Vietnamese coffee tiramisu, and more, and Fresh & Co.’s salad counter is open as well. Make sure to check on the market’s Instagram page for the latest vendor updates." - Erika Adams, Tanay Warerkar

"This effortlessly cool food and art destination is sandwiched in between Chinatown and Tribeca.  An art lover's paradise, the market space is sprinkled with hard-to-find, intricately curated lifestyle goods and design objects. A mini foodie oasis awaits you on the other side of the market, with superfood smoothie bowls, Korean barbecue and Thai iced-tea ice cream all on deck." - The Charles

"Canal Street Market first opened in 2017, buzzing with life when it became the headquarters for Joe’s Steam Rice Roll’s first Manhattan outpost. During the pandemic, the market had seen better days, at one point operating with just three constant food vendors. This week, a new stand debuted at the Chinatown food hall: Mucho Sarap, from the team behind the Filipino pop-up, So Sarap. The menu combines Filipino and Mexican flavors with lumpia and tacos, according to a spokesperson." - Emma Orlow

"At some point soon, every last neighborhood in New York is going to have a fancy food hall. This new one has a sushi handroll place, a Korean BBQ bowls spot, a chicken ramen place, a juice bar, a bubble tea bar, a smoothie bar, and a few others. There’s a Nom Wah outpost too, but you should know by now that a sleek food hall isn’t where you want to be getting dumplings in the area. It’s attached to what is basically a fancy flea market, if you want to look at nice ceramics you’ll never buy to pass the time." - hillary reinsberg

"Mother’s Day is this Sunday. And if you totally forgot, we don’t suggest telling your mother. Instead buy a rice cooker sculpture or a box filled with gooey miso butter cookies from this weekend’s dessert and design pop-up run by Jenny Acosta and Stephanie Loo - two of the members of With Warm Welcome. It’s running at Canal Street Market in Chinatown this Friday, May 7th through Sunday, May 9th all day. Although some sweets will be available for walk-ups, you can pre-order Stephanie Loo’s cookie boxes ahead of time here." - hannah albertine
