Manhattan is getting a taste of rapper Eminem. A pop-up of his Mom’s Spaghetti walk-up eatery in Detroit is in NYC for a limited time at 131 Greene St. (in the Shopify space) until November 20.
I first experienced Eminem’s Mom’s Spaghetti at Coachella in 2018 when Eminem headlined the festival. The spaghetti pop-up was brought out to highlight his Mom’s spaghetti recipe and was a hit with super fans of Slim Shady and festival goers throughout the two weekends.
The spaghetti and meatballs is served in a takeout cardboard container with the signature logo. It tastes like a traditional version of the classic with Italian herbs and spices.
Remaining Dates and Times of the Pop-up:
November 16, 17, 18 – 2PM TO 9PM
November 19, 20 – 11AM TO 9PM
The pop-up will serve spaghetti (with or without meatballs) in the notable cardboard cartons along with exclusive merchandise for fans. The upscale neighborhood of Soho which is home to luxury shops and brands is getting some much-needed grit and authentic Detroit vibes.
The space also commemorates the 20-year anniversary of Eminem’s film “8-Mile” with set recreations in the space. The lyrics “Moms Spaghetti” is from the first verse in the hit “Lose Yourself.”
Who knows Marshall Mathers III himself could even make an appearance as he did in the Detroit location.
