Hey there Hester lovers! Can you believe that this Saturday marks the first of October? Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! October is the final month that the Hester Street Fair will be open this season, so come on down and get your Hester-fix before it’s too late! But don’t worry – we’re open every Saturday ‘til the end of the month, and we’ll of course be back next year, so you have plenty to look forward to!
As always, we have plenty of special and unique vendors to pique your interest this week. If you’re headed to Hester with a case of the munchies this week, food vendor highlights include Bun Mi Catering, who translates some of the most popular Asian street food staples into the New York environment. Try the shrimp slider buns or the sautéed mushroom tacos – you won’t be disappointed! And what’s a street fair without a good pickle vendor? Check out Picklena for perfected jalapeño pickles – a robust combination of sliced and pickled Kirby cucumber with the necessary jalapeno, red pepper and onion. These unique flavors will entice a fellow to do the Texas two step right on the spot! If you’re more in the mood to satisfy your sweet tooth, head over to FattyCakesNY, home of New York’s ridiculous cookies. What could be better than flavors like Sticky Fingers (peanut butter cookie packed with homemade peanut brittle, caramel, and butter popcorn) and The Jules (a butter cookie filled with cherry jam)? Nothing, that’s what!
Once you’ve stuffed yourself to your heart’s content, you can mosey on over to some of the best shopping on the Lower East Side. Highlights this week include Crème de la Cuff with beautiful vintage cufflinks that have been meticulously and lovingly acquired one by one, as well as Edzayi with fabulous baby accessories and toys, each designed with a hint of whimsy, a sprinkle of impish charm and a dash of sophisticated elegance. And don’t leave without stopping by Hippie Pills, where you’ll find everything from charm bracelets (vintage car charms, good luck charms, ecology charms, yoga charms – you name it!) to colorful and sparkly bags. Get all your Hester shopping in this month, or you’ll be kicking yourself when you have to wait until next season to score these great finds!
