Today, the market houses nearly 40 independent vendors, community spaces, and a mezzanine with public seating.

An d even the guys who do put out the same stuff over and over again do tend to mix in new merchandise in with their boxes. It is OK for clothes, great for electrical items and electronics, household items and even food. Kitchen and bathroom items. Even better are the on-street offerings outside! You might even find knick-knacks here though dont hold your breath, no real antiques/collectables. What is especially good is that all the sellers tend to be motivated to sell, as opposed to hold out for some pseudo-retail price!

The Night Market is open on Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 10pm. For such a compact space, there's a great variety of vendors offering different types of food. After checking out the options, I went with a braised chicken arepa and a pork belly & sweet plantain empanada from Ehbra Colombian Food. The total came to $19, which felt like a solid deal given the portion size and quality. There are picnic tables set up around the vendors, so it was nice not having to eat on a park bench.

The market is divided into multiple counters, each selling pizza, sushi, sandwiches, pasta, and more. Go to the counter that you'd like and order. If you order a variety, you'll be visiting multiple counters. The linguine with white clam sauce from Sal Anthony's was very good. Hot, garlicky, firm linguine, and good flavor. The cheese pizza from Buon Cibo was also a standout, a great crust and good flavor without being soggy or greasy. Another plus is a lot of the seating area is inside the market side, which means you'll be surrounded by drinks and desserts. The variety is impressive with beer, soda, juice, water, sparkling water, Korean, and Japanese soft drinks.

This time, I tried their vanilla rum canelé. Honestly, I think the price is okay-reasonable at $4.5 for the vanilla and $5 for the Dulce de leche canele. The vanilla rum canele was not bad. But it was a tad bit sweeter and drier than I would've liked. I think the aritizia cafe one is still reigning champion for now.

It made my visit to the Bazaar all the more pleasant. I've been coming to Grand Bazaar for more years than I care to remember, having taken a break for ten -- okay twenty -- years. Can't put my finger on why, perhaps I'm not as interested as I used to be. While the market is vibrant and busy, it's not as it was. Perhaps not as much diversity in wares. (I used to get a lot of pottery, art and vintage jewelry.) Back in the day, my friends and I would go to the East Village and buy funky old fur jackets for a song. I kind of had that in the back of my mind coming here. (There are many vintage coat vendors.) But prices have risen considerably. (What hasn't?!) The market is open Sundays, year 'round. Despite buying nothing, I know I'll be back. (Maybe coats get cheaper when it's warmer.) Plus, I like strolling around on the upper westside, which has a different flavor than the eastside, where I live.
