Antojitos El Atoradero
As a child, Hermes Rosas fell in love with food, while helping his mother cook street-style tacos and tamales, that she sold at a bodega in the South Bronx. Today, he serves up tacos made with handmade tortillas alongside other Mexican recipes passed down from his mother, grandmother and aunt at Antojitos El Atoradero.

Little Tong Noodle Shop
It was impossible not to fall in love with Simone Tong’s springy mixian soups, stir-fries and bowls when she opened the cozy Little Tong Noodle Shop in the East Village back in 2017. Now, Tong is bringing Chinese breakfast staples to Midtown at The Deco. We see a lot of early meetings in our future.

Nansense
Run don’t walk to Nansense. Mohibullah Rahmati started Nansense as a food truck serving Afghan comfort food on a Chelsea street corner back in 2018. In a little over a year, his dishes like mantu (beef dumplings) and chicken forma have become favorites with the the Smorgasburg crowd and earned Rahmati “best rookie vendor” from the venerable Vendy Awards. At The Deco, Nansense opens as the first rotating kiosk pop-up.
