Background on First Bloom
First Bloom opened last year in a former Table on Ten space and quickly gained a reputation as a tiny, personality-driven “shoppy shop”—part pantry, part country store, part “wow, I did not know I needed this tin of sardines but here we are.”
Roman told Feed Me’s Emily Sundberg she’s “equal parts thrilled, excited and nervous to have a brick-and-mortar location in the city.”
This pop-up offers New Yorkers a taste of Bloomville without needing to take the Metro-North train upstate.
