An outrageously bold foie gras-stuffed pita with Tahina Silan sauce has dropped in the East Village. Spice Brothers, the newly-opened shawarma kings of St. Marks have brought meat-stuffed pita glory to a neighborhood previously devoid of it, but they aren’t stopping at chicken or lamb shawarma. Their latest drop highlights one of the most precious ingredients from the animal kingdom. Find all the info in the 🧨 Drops category on the 8it app.
