The Coziest Pop-Ups To Come In New York City
Now that it’s getting colder outside, most of us don’t even want to leave the comfort of our warm homes but sometimes it can get a little boring just staying at home. To avoid cabin fever, here’s a list of some cool indoor activities you and your friends or you and your family can all enjoy while still staying warm.
Haven Ski Chalet by Will Cadena
Clicquot Chalet at Mr. Purple
The Clicquot Chalet at Mr. Purple is back for the winter season! Launching November 22nd, Mr. Purple atop Hotel Indigo Lower East Side will be transformed into a funky après-ski lodge in the sky. Step outside onto the terrace and guests will find a larger-than-life snow globe dome decked-out in Veuve Clicquot themed ski lodge decor, complete with its very own champagne bar. Once inside, visitors can enjoy a warm retreat from the elements while indulging in a number of festive cocktails on the specialty pop-up menu, including seasonal hot sips and exclusive Veuve Clicquot champagne cocktails, plus plenty of chocolate and cheese fondue to warm your soul - all while taking in the rooftop’s stunning views of NYC.
The Clicquot Chalet holds approximately 25-50 people so reservations (with a table minimum) are highly encouraged via Mr. Purple’s website. Walk-ins will be accepted based on availability.
Grand Holiday Bazaar
On Sundays between November 24th and December 22nd, Grand Holiday Bazaar will host nearly 200 independent vendors selling goods and giftables that can't be found elsewhere, making it the perfect spot to find the otherwise unfindable. All of the vendors are small independent business owners and artisans, making each item one-of-a-kind or limited edition.
