After nearly five vibrant years dishing up homestyle Filipino cooking and Asian pantry essentials first in Woodstock then in Accord, Harana Market is embarking on a thoughtful transformation. Founders Eva Tringali and Chris Mauricio announced in late July via Instagram that Harana Market will be open for its last days of full service through August 31, as the team prepares for a major shift this fall.
Come autumn, Harana will wind down its full-service restaurant operations and repurpose its Accord location into a dynamic commissary kitchen and event space. The site will support catering, private dining, and pop-ups, alongside an expanded line of meal kits and retail products.
Though the move is unexpected, coming just two years after a move to a visible barn on the side of Route 209 in Accord and a James Beard Award nomination for best chef in New York State, this evolution is far from a retreat. Rather, it’s a strategic pivot rooted in sustainability and community values. “Over the past few years, the recognition has been deeply gratifying, but it also gave us the space to step back and ask some bigger questions about our lives. Food service is exhilarating, but it’s also physically and emotionally demanding in a way that’s hard to sustain over the long term, especially as a family,” say Tringali and Mauricio. “For us, ‘sustainability’ means creating a life rhythm we can carry forward for years to come. It’s about having the time and energy to be present for each other, to nurture our relationships, and to continue the pursuit of creative work.”
Since the move to Accord in late 2023, Harana Market has served as more than a well-loved Filipino deli and Asian market, it’s established itself a cultural gathering space. The barn-style location—with its spacious interior, DJ booth, and pantry shelves stocked with hard-to-find ingredients—emerged as that elusive “third place” for community, creativity, and heritage. Its menu—brimming with hand-rolled lumpia, patis citrus fried chicken, arroz caldo, and tofu sisig—has earned praise from publications both local and national, like the New York Times, which last year said they served “perfect fried chicken.”
On the community side, Harana’s programming has long extended beyond meals. They’ve hosted free “Chosen Family” meals for LGBTQIA+ individuals, workshops, pop-up markets, and more. “Stepping away from day-to-day food service doesn’t mean stepping away from food or from community,” say Tringali and Mauricio. “In fact, it’s the opposite. We are choosing something else in order to make sure we can keep doing the thing we love the most: gathering people together over food.” Their planned shift will include more educational programming, pop-ups, music-infused events, and cooking classes reflecting a continuation of this ethos—just in new formats.
The Harana team will be popping up throughout the Hudson Valley, New York City, and beyond, teaming up with fellow restaurants and community spaces, as well as hosting other chefs for pop-up events at the Accord space. And while that space will still host events and collaborations, it will no longer have regular public hours or function as a traditional market. “The Asian retail landscape has changed dramatically since we opened. With increased supply in the region, coupled with rising costs and astronomical import tariffs, it no longer makes sense for us to continue operating as the ‘Asian grocery’ we once were,” Tringali and Mauricio say. “Instead, we’ll be focusing on offering our own line of products—sauces, meal kits, and pantry staples—through other local retailers.”
The Accord space will also be available for private dining event rental, and occasionally open to the public for special events. If you’re really jonesin’ for that homestyle Filipino food, Harana will also continue to offer offsite catering for events both large and small, from weddings and corporate retreats to film shoots and more. “For September, in addition to the private events we have booked, we will be at both the Hudson Valley Food and Wine Festival in Rhinebeck and the Garlic Festival in Saugerties,” Tringali and Mauricio say. “In October, we will be representing James Beard at the New York Food & Wine Festival. We also have a few other events and collaborations in the works— both at our Accord location and beyond.”

Until Labor Day, supporters are encouraged to stop by for lunch on weekends and celebrate what has been built—and what’s still to come. “The flavors and caliber of our food are one thing that won’t change,” assure Tringali and Mauricio. “While our day-to-day service is shifting, we’re still cooking! We are still learning and finding new, exciting ways to share our food.”
Harana Market is open through August 31, exclusively on weekends, from 11:30am to 4pm.
