This new plant-based pop-up can be found at Shelter, High Line Brewing and other trendy spots to have a drink. Its falafel wrap is packed with freshness, thanks to a combination of pickled onion, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, falafels, tahini and confit garlic spread. Look for it at Shelter on August 7, 8, 14 and 15 from 11.am. to 3 p.m., and give Garbanzo’s a follow if you want news about its “Plant + Grape” dinners, where food is paired with wine from Mnml.wine.

There’s a new hotspot at Eighty-Eight Brewing from the team behind Donna Mac. Mixtape is a sandwich concept with gourmet bread, meats and veg, and our pick for a first visit is the brisket biscuit. Tender beef, secret sauce and sauerkraut make an excellent combination on a cheddar biscuit. On Sundays, Mixtape serves Montreal-style bagels for brunch.
