February is Black History Month. The Disneyland Resort is Celebrating Soulfully multiple ways throughout the resort during the month and beyond. This is done through entertainment, food offerings, and more. At the recently opened Parkside Market, there is a special offering that spotlights Black heritage at one of its destinations.
Sip & Sonder is doing this with their signature Nod to Nicaud coffee drink. Sip & Sonder’s Nod to Nicaud is their signature cold brew with chicory and cane sugar. It is an inspiring spin on a delicious classic. The drink pays tribute to Rose Nicaud, a trailblazing entrepreneur who also happened to be one of New Orleans’ first women of color vendors. Her legacy shaped the city’s coffee culture and lives on today.
The Nod to Nicaud is just one of many delicious offerings that can be found at Parkside Market’s dining destinations. This includes:
- GG’s Chicken Shop, from Boka Restaurant Group, was founded by James Beard Award-winning restaurateurs Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm, alongside Michelin Star Chef Partner LeeWolen. Serving family-friendly dishes including fried chicken, salads and classic table sides, the restaurant is affectionately named after Chef Wolen’s mother Geri.
- Seoul Sister will serve a Korean-forward menu based on bibimbap (Korean rice bowls) with a California twist. Executive Chef Kelly Kim will offer bold, yet accessible, flavors with marinated meats, fresh vegetables, and savory sauces served over rice, noodles, or salad.
- Sip & Sonder, from founders Amanda-Jane Thomas and Shanita Nicolas, is a Black-women owned brand currently recognized as one of the best cafés in L.A. by the Los Angeles Times. Signature lattes, along with fresh baked treats, and frozen drinks will combine with the brand’s community-focused vibe to create a center of energy at Parkside Market.
- VistaParkside Market, the second story al fresco bar, brings an extensive cocktail and mocktail program to explore while enjoying ideal views of the district and the new Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage and lawn directly across from Parkside Market. Menu items play into the bar’s scenic name, such as the bourbon-based Morning Mist and the Nocturnal Overlook, a vodka-based coffee cocktail complete with Sip & Sonder espresso. Zero-proof creations include the sparkling Brisk Breeze and refreshing Birds Eye View. For guests looking to drink and dine with a second-story view, food items from Parkside Market’s three downstairs concepts can be ordered and enjoyed at Vista.
Parkside Market is open seven days a week. GG’s Chicken Shop, Seoul Sister, and Vista Parkside Market are open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Sip & Sonder opens at 7:00 AM and remains open until 11:00 PM.
