THE QUEENS INTERNATIONAL NIGHT MARKET
• Queens Hall of Science
• Flushing Meadows Park •
A short walk from the 111th Street stop of the 7 train is the Queens International Night Market. Like the popular Smorgasburg, in Brooklyn, QINM is hosts collection of foods and goods from Queens businesses. Unlike Smorgasburg, it replaces hipster-chic-ness with a sense of global community. After all, Queens is the most diverse patch of land on the globe. Where better to showcase this diversity than at the World's Fair grounds? Chilean hot dogs, Japanese rice balls, Korean noodles, Caribbean shark sandwiches, Transylvanian desserts. Fried ice cream, mac and cheese balls, kebobs, rice krispie treats, bubble tea, grilled pork belly, empanadas, corn on the cob. And a beer garden.
The Night Market is every Saturday, opens at 6, closes at midnight, has no admission, and just about everything costs five bucks.
Special thanks goes to Photogirl, who accompanied me on this excursion and provided many of the pics you see here!
