New York, NY - February 21, 2022 - A special one-day-only Sweet, Hot & Spicy Pop-up will take place on Sunday, February 27th, 2022 at Grand Bazaar NYC (100 W. 77th Street) from 10am – 5pm. Grand Bazaar NYC is the city’s oldest, largest, and most diverse curated weekly shopping market, with up to 150 vendors featured each week. The purpose-driven weekly market organizes different special-themed events, highlighting both new and established independent local artists, designers, craft-makers, vintage and antique dealers, and artisanal food entrepreneurs. Annually over 900 merchants are brought in to create unique experiences for visitors every time they stop by. The vendors are selected based upon the weekly theme, the quality of craftsmanship, and how distinctive and rare their offerings are.
This Sunday, visitors can get an endorphin rush from the over 20 artisanal food vendors that are spicing and sweetening up the “mid-winter” blues. Some of the participating food vendors in this year’s Sweet, Hot & Spicy Pop-up include Jamaican heat from Treat YourSelf Jerk, addictive Korean corn dogs from ClubDog, burning Indian curries from Mysttik Masaala, hot Taiwanese popcorn chicken and fish from Taiwanese Yummy, fiery empanadas from Empanada Papa, handcrafted in small-batches artisanal hot sauces from Hattwood Hot Sauce, and bold Brooklyn-made hot sauces from Cantina Royal. On the sweet side, there will be The Boiis with handcrafted mochi stuffed dessert bites, Althea’s Tropical Delights bringing cakes with the sweet taste of the Caribbean, BITE’s creative artisanal mini donuts, Culiraw with full-flavor and decadent raw vegan cakes, and Broma’s protein-packed and flavored almond + lentil + chocolate butter spreads. In addition, visitors can explore and shop from over 70 independent artists, designers, and vintage dealers.
Grand Bazaar NYC was created to provide funding to four Upper West Side public schools and to support small independent local merchants and entrepreneurs. Every time a vendor commits to selling their goods at the market, the schools PS 87, The Computer School, PS 334, and M.S. M247 Dual Language Middle School benefit. 100% of the net profits from the rental of a booth benefit over 2,000 public school children by providing them with much-needed school supplies, books, art enrichment, and sports programs.
Grand Bazaar NYC is located at 100 W. 77th Street at Columbus Avenue. The market is open every Sunday from 10am – 5pm. For more information visit, www.GrandBazaarNYC.org.
