Recharge yourself for the week ahead, join us in our Sunday edition of the Hester Street Fair. Known for starting and supporting many creative pursuits, music and small businesses, we strive to serve the area with a place to max and relax with friends while making new connections and acquisitions in taste, sound, new looks, books and other items to improve your overall well being. 

We are delighted to bring you another season of the fair this season, offering a space to celebrate and be together in ease and creativity despite all that 2020 has thrown at us so far. This year’s events have been adapted to fit NYC’s safety guidelines: Vendors will be 6 ft. apart, we’ve lowered our capacity, and we will have multiple hand washing and sanitizing stations throughout the park. Masks and a contactless temperature check at the door are mandatory.

What’s On The Menu?

All weekend long we have the start your morning with Dreamers Coffee House. You can also have a little extra fun with Wah Gwaan NYC's special jerk tacos around lunchtime. Did you know they make their own tortillas? Options are available for multiple dietary preferences. 

Don't forget either that we have the best empanadas available all weekend 💅🏼

On Saturday you can grab empanadas from Beba's Kitchen and the special new treat from Partybus Bakeshop, a jumbo salted pretzel. Yum! 
Sunday, we'll have Empanada Papa ready to go. For your sweet tooth, you can check out Cades Cake's CAKE GUTS and our new cookie vendor, Music, Love, and Chocolate Chips.
