Dose Market has become one of the most popular and well-attended pop-up markets in only a year. To celebrate the occasion, Dose Market is just moving forward with another stellar lineup of vendors Sunday at the River East Arts Center.
Sunday's market will have breakfast sandwiches from first-time vendor Bagel on Damen, coffee from veteran vendor Crop to Cup, Seedling smoothies and dessert from Top Chef contestant and new Chicago resident Grayson Schmitz. Goose Island brew is providing complimentary and Spicebox Whiskey gratis cocktails.
Lillie's Q will have a full BBQ spread, artisan PB & J by Yumbutter and Food for Thought preserves, and Old Town Social panini and charcuterie will be available
For the fashionistas Laura Lombardi debuts a summer capsule collection while Dose newbie King Onye Label is selling earrings made with East Asian and West African trade beads and vintage gold. Buckshot Sonny’s returns in time for baseball season with 100 percent handmade in the U.S.A. baseballs, sporty caps and gloves, and Wisconsin’s Camp Wandawega gives a Boy Scout salute to vintage-style camp gear with everything from canteens to compass necklaces.
For the sweet tooth, there are ice cream floats from brand new Season’s Soda and Snookelfritz, boozy snowcones from Jo Snow, the popular Dose Bars from Mayana Chocolate, cakes from ByM Desserts and Rustic Tart local fruit pies.
It’s not Dose without design. Uusi introduces its limited edition artist’s card deck along with affordable art prints, and Grow Studio debuts Lille Huset dollhouses, made for play time with the wee ones but doubling as great grown-up home decor. And let’s not forget Gentleman’s Boombox, back once again to supply the vintage suitcase speakers that make any summer party rock. Hydrogen Plus provides the records.
For the home cook, stock up on Blis syrup, Kaveli Indian mixes, Top Shelf Imports olive oil, the retail debut of Nellcote’s house-milled flour and fresh pasta, new ketchups from Scrumptious Pantry, Markethouse sausage and condiments, and more.
