NUCHAS JOURNEY:

In 2011, Nuchas opened its first retail location in the heart of NYC, Times Square. Soon after they started their first food truck, and two additional pushcarts helping Nuchas create a reputation among the NYC street food scene. In 2013, Nuchas won Rookie of the Year Vendy Award, and in the same year, they opened their second retail location in Greeley Square. In 2014, Nuchas won the People’s Taste Vendy Award, and it’s been fast-growing ever since.

On April 8th, we celebrate National Empanada Day! The word ‘Empanada’ translates as ‘enbreaded,’ that is, wrapped or coated in bread. Empanadas originated in Spain in the early 1500s, then traveled across the ocean to South America, where they became an irreplaceable part of the culture. The actual empanada flavor varies from country to country. Argentinians specifically enjoy serving empanadas at a family dinner once a week as well as at parties and special events.

Nuchas Locations:

Times Square: Broadway and 47th Street

Greeley Square Park: 97 W 32nd Street

Columbus Park: 233 Joralemon Street

One of the featured stores in this new NYC shopping mall is ZARA, which is located on the 3rd and 4th floor. In honor of this new store opening, ZARA partnered with the NYFTA to create a unique promotion.

ZARA offered free coffee and cookies that were served out of a beautiful and fully branded vintage Citroen. This was a real treat for the thousands of people passing by and waiting in lines to enter the Shops.

ZARA also used this promotion as a chance to acknowledge the extensive construction that has been taking place over the years and show their appreciation to their many neighbors. The entire NYFTA team feels honored for being part of this excellent promotion and is very grateful for this collaboration with ZARA, which brought a lot of positive energy and free coffee and cookies to the Hudson Yards community.
