Open-air market to sparkle up your May Day

Take note, foodies and coffee heads in Beijing!

After months of being cooped up at home and cooking for yourself nonstop, it's time to give yourself a treat by visiting "Recovery: Blend, Book & Block Market", a three-day event featuring specialty coffee, delicacies, and youth art in the historical yet hip Longfusi area.

Slated to run from May 1-3, the event teams up 13 of the city's best specialty cafes, 20 internet-famous restaurants, and 38 original design brands, making it arguably the largest social gathering the capital has seen since the coronavirus outbreak, said its organizer, Woodstock of Eating, a youth-oriented city festival brand.

Without further ado, grab tickets, call your buddies, and head to the market to kick-start your post-Covid life with a good cup of joe and tons of other good things!

If you go:

Wear a mask and keep social distancing at all times to protect yourself and others.

Ticket prices: 30 yuan ($4.26) in advance; 40 yuan ($5.67) at the door.
