Fresh Picks: Spring Flavors Are Blooming in Meatpacking

Spring in Meatpacking means more than just longer days. It also means one very important thing: new menus. From market-driven specialties to BBQ season classics, the neighborhood is bursting with fresh flavors, seasonal favorites, and limited-time bites you won’t want to miss. Here’s where to taste what’s new (and what won’t be around forever):

It's Ramp Season

Ramps are spring’s best-kept secret—and they don’t stick around long.

At Simo, they’re the star of a limited-time pizza layered with bold, garlicky flavor and wild spring energy. Meanwhile, Black Seed Bagels is spreading the love with a seasonal Ramp Cream Cheese that’s punchy, bright, and perfect on a toasted everything. Get them while they’re fresh—these only show up once a year.

Maman — New Spring Savory Menu

Maman’s kitchen is in full bloom. New spring dishes like Agathe’s tabouleh salad, Marine’s steak sandwich, Estee’s bacon, egg, & cheese, and Anna’s Belgian waffles bring lighter, fresher flavors to their all-day menu. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast or hosting a weekend brunch, these seasonal picks are ready to steal the show.

Li-Lac Chocolates — Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Some things are just right for the season. Li-Lac’s chocolate-dipped strawberries are a little messy, a lot indulgent, and pure springtime happiness in every bite.

Doughnuttery — Paris Time Donut

Tiny, fresh, and fried to order — Doughnuttery’s Paris Time donut is what lavender dreams are made of. Dusted with a delicate lavender-vanilla sugar and finished with pistachios, this mini beauty is floral, nutty, and best eaten straight from the fryer. Simple? Yes. Unforgettable? Also yes.

Shake Shack — BBQ Menu

Springtime = BBQ time. Shake Shack’s latest lineup is dripping with classic and Carolina-inspired flavors, from the smoky OG BBQ burger and chicken to tangy-sweet twists layered with pepper jack cheese and fried pickles. Napkins (and extra crispy onions) highly recommended.

Taste Spring While It’s Here.

Spring doesn’t last forever — and neither do these menu items. Get them while you can, explore the new season’s flavors, and taste Meatpacking at its freshest.
