The 7 Best Foodie Gifts We Found at Urbanspace Vanderbilt's N.Y.C. Holiday Bazaar

The Provisions pop-up market at Urbanspace Vanderbilt is about to make last-minute holiday shopping an enjoyable (yes, enjoyable!) task. Located just outside New York City’s Grand Central Station, the gourmet food bazaar, which opens next on December 19 and 20, consists of 15 vendors selling everything from small-batch hot honey to handmade licorice. We stopped by the pop-up event, which just wrapped up its second weekend, to pick up unique stocking stuffers and holiday host gifts—and, of course, a few goodies for ourselves. Read below for seven of our favorite items.

Bee Local Hot Honey

Sydney Mondry

This sweet and spicy condiment, which gets its kick from scorpion peppers, can be sampled and purchased at a table run by Brooklyn, N.Y.C.-based vendor Heatonist. The “Purveyors of Fine Hot Sauces” suggest adding Hot Honey to chicken, cheese, or even a cocktail.

Smooth, subtle, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, this chocolate is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. This bar, and other unusual varieties like Earl Grey and Mint & Nibs, are available for purchase from Raaka Virgin Chocolate, which ethically sources and never roasts its high-quality cacao beans.

BeeHive Oven Strawberry Jam

Sydney Mondry

We want to put this sweet, fragrant spread from BeeHive Oven on everything … but especially on homemade biscuits, which can also be purchased at the company’s table or online (from $10 for 6; beehiveoven.com). (We can thank Texan chef and BeeHive Oven co-founder Treva Chadwell for the authentic Southern comfort.)
