Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and the communities that have enriched New York City’s food culture and traditions.
Join us at our upcoming event and shop AAPI-owned businesses all month long at Essex Market.
Celebrate AAPI Month at Essex Market with a family-friendly event for the community! Craft pipe-cleaner flowers, decorate Heart of Dinner grocery bags, and shop the pop-up Maker’s Market featuring AAPI-owned small businesses.
All proceeds, and 15% of maker sales will support local AAPI nonprofits Heart of Dinner and UA3.
Fold dumplings, share stories. Pinch of Us turns cooking into a collaborative art experience—blending Taiwanese, Korean, and Colombian traditions. Experiment, connect, and co-create in a playful, communal workshop where food becomes a vessel for culture, memory, and human connection.
