# Opening-week seasonal market 'everything I ate' guide

A food and nutrition format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/food-and-nutrition/opening-week-seasonal-market-everything-i-ate-guide

Cover a big seasonal event or festival in one saveable guide to every vendor, posted as it opens. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 33x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Talking head.

## Why it works

Bryant Park Winter Village guides from nck.ryn, avapraschnik (TikTok and IG) and sistersnacking were timed to opening week, which gives viewers something to search and save. Prices and 'skip' verdicts make each one a buying guide.

## How to make it

1. Post during opening week of the event
2. Open with a fast montage of every hero food
3. Go vendor by vendor with price and a verdict
4. Say what's worth skipping

## Hook formula

[Seasonal event] is officially open for the season, so here is everything I tried.

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
