POP-UP ALERT: 3 New Spots to Hit
The unseasonably warm weather is getting us in the mood for pop-ups. Lucky for us there’s 3 new spots to go get your pop-up fix!
MR. BANH MI (BY CYCLO)
Mr. Banh Mi is a Vietnamese food spot right next to avocado lady. They’ve got perfect Banh Mis, as well as vermicelli, spring rolls, juices and Vietnamese coffee. The spot is owned and run by the guys from Cyclo so you know it’s quality stuff.
We highly recommend grabbing a Banh Mi, they have 8 options (our favorite was the Xa Xiu Pork Sandwich for RMB 45. All sandwiches range from RMB 35-50 depending on size and selection.
Address: 272 Wulumuqi Lu (right next to avocado lady and directly across the street from Little Catch).
Hours: Daily 11am-9pm.
BONUS GELATO
After your Banh Mi, walk about 30 seconds down Wulumuqi Lu and you’ll find Bonus, a Gelato pop-up that opened after CNY. They’ve got great flavors like olive oil and pine nut, spicy chocolate and salted Caramel. There’s also more traditional flavors like vanilla and maraschino cherry.
Address: 272 Wulumuqi Lu
