Hands-On Filipino Feast
Restaurant, Gastropub, Asian, Filipino
Speaking of meat-centric restaurants, Jeepney – a Filipino gastropub in the East Village – is about as meaty as it gets. Many of their dishes may seem strange if you’re not accustomed to Filipino cuisine, but their wildest event comes twice a week when they host ‘Kamayan Night,’ a no-utensils, hands-only, family-style feast laid out on a long communal table. It’s a messy and meaty experience but also a delicious and memorable one.
Broccoli Hot Dog
Restaurant, Candy Store, Vegetarian
Raindrop Cake
Another dish from Smorgasburg that’s taken over Instagram – this otherworldly looking Raindrop Cake dessert was inspired by Japanese mochi and is described as a ‘refreshing and delicate raindrop made for your mouth.’ It’s impossible to know what this means until you try one, so get one for yourself and see what all the fuss is about.
