A Spoonful of Sofrito: African Pop Up Festival!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

African Pop Up Festival!

 

Sofrito Lovers,

On Saturday, February 23rd, there is going to be an amazing African Pop Up Festival in Harlem!  Mark your calendar folks, because it is time to turn up and show out for some delicious African cuisine!

I could go on forever about how incredible, diverse, delicious, and unique African cuisine can be, but it's far better for you to experience it for yourself! According to the eventbrite, there will be African food vendors representing the best of North, South, Eastern, and Western African cuisine-I could faint from excitement!

Now as you know, I'm there for the tasty food, but there will be all types of vendors selling art, crafts, clothing, and other goodies.  Also, there will be live entertainment, fashion, and lots of opportunities to mingle.

Again, mark your calendars and make sure to make your way to Harlem on Saturday, February 23rd from 1pm to 8pm!  I hope to see you there!

Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!
