Alison Roman's Shoppy Shop Is Popping Up on the Lower East Side
"Roman - a voice of the millennial home cooking era, thanks to viral hits like The Cookies and The Stew, plus stints at Bon Appétit and the New York Times, opened First Bloom in Bloomville, New York, last year. The project falls into the " shoppy shop " category: a charming, semi-personal corner store-meets-country market filled with local produce, tinned fish and pantry goods, ceramics, drinks, and other impulse-buy items. This city pop-up promises a similar vibe, albeit one with a short run."
"Pastry chef Amanda Perdomo - whose resume spans Del Posto, Wildair, Contra, Cool World, and a viral desserts run at Kellogg's Diner (think strawberry pretzel salad) - is launching Amanda's Good Morning Cafe inside Strange Delight (63 Lafayette Avenue, between Fort Greene Place and South Elliott Street), serving New Orleans-leaning pastries, beignets, breakfast sandwiches, chicory coffee, and nostalgic desserts Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m."
Alison Roman is bringing First Bloom to Manhattan with a monthlong pop-up on the Lower East Side from November 5 through November 30, open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at wine bar Casetta, 61 Hester Street, offering pantry items, home goods, and a cafe menu. First Bloom, opened last year in Bloomville, New York, offers a shoppy-shop-style market of local produce, tinned fish, pantry goods, ceramics, drinks, and impulse items; the city pop-up will echo that vibe for a short run. Pastry chef Amanda Perdomo is launching Amanda's Good Morning Cafe in Brooklyn with New Orleans–leaning pastries, beignets, breakfast sandwiches, chicory coffee, and nostalgic desserts Monday–Thursday, 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Union Square's annual Harvest tasting returns November 13 with dishes from multiple restaurants; tickets start at $125.
