Are you spending your Saturday afternoon in Flushing Meadows Park or Citi Field and found yourself craving for more of that Queens energy, but more importantly, craving for more of that diverse food scene? Well, then head on over to the Queens Night Market! Although there seems to be some kind of food festival popping up each weekend across the city, the vibe and diverse food scene here is still unmatched! The food selection has grown exponentially since I last visited over five years ago, making it easier for visitors to sample international bites all in one place. Moreover, the prices remained reasonable with most items under $8. On this visit, we tried the egg-shaped waffles stuffed with Nutella and custard, the Burmese pancakes stuffed with meat, the Venezuelan corn pancake stuffed with beef and mozzarella, and some Hainanese chicken with rice. Most of these items were delicious and the standout were the Burmese stuffed pancakes. The portions, although small, are still good enough for sharing. If you need more reasons to visit, they are also showing World Cup games here when we visited. You can have your watch party with great food options! The service is usually quite quick despite some long lines. read more

I went when QNM first debuted in 2015. It was a great concept and still is. it showcased a variety of cuisines at an affordable price point ($5 at the time). The portion and value at the time was definitely there. I have returned a few times over the years, most recently in 2026 coincidently for the World cup games as well! However, I feel like the food portion has decreased drastically. I do understand prices will need to go up with inflation, but the portions are much smaller from when it first started. For example, the Romanian chutney cake (dessert cone) and the amount of Filipino lumpia they provide for the price is much smaller now. For four years, the price was at $5 max. In 2019, the stalls raised their maximum price to $6, which remains the same today in 2026. From a recent 2026 Gothamist article though, 2026 will be the last year for the $6 cap so 2027 may potentially be increased to $7 cap or be eliminated. that is in the air right now. Despite the pricing/portion value, QNM is great way to try different cuisines all in one place. its a great way for growing families to chill in an open grassy area that has music and pop-ups at times (ie: HK VITA brand lemon tea had a pop up there). Parking is crowded so its best to walk from 7 train-111th st hall of science train stop or uber if you live close by. Overall, QNM is a nice event to go with friends to share items, but im personally losing the allure of it after going a few times over the years with diminishing returns. read more

Queens Night Market continues to be a great place to sample ethnic cuisine from around the world. Our favorites for the 2026 Night Market are the Syrian Booza from Hanina Sweets and Coconut Curry Ramen from Burmese Bites, both $6 each. Others: - Pastel de Nata from Joey Bats Café: $4 per egg tart. Good, though it doesn't beat the ones found in Lisbon, Portugal. - Beef Pepperpot from Lexie's Caribbean Cuisine: OK. $6 buys a rather large serving for the price. The dish is flavorful, but the cuts of meat used run a bit tough. - Beef Meat Pie from Soronko Kitchen and Bakery: $6. OK. Could use more flavor than the included Cholula hot sauce packet provided. - Beef Gyro from Enfes NYC: $6. Good, balanced. On the other hand, we didn't like their grape leaves ($5), which we thought were too tart. The logistics of the Night Market have changed slightly since my initial review in 2019. It is still better to take mass transit, as there is no longer free parking in the adjacent parking lot operated by New York Hall of Science. It is difficult but possible to find metered and unmetered street parking in the neighborhood. read more

I read that this will be the last year for the $6 pricing. The Queens night market is perfect for tasting new food, all in one place at $6 or below- recently Pakistani street burger, etc. and Syrian ice cream which I really liked. We also have favorites that we return for: Fried ice cream - had ube but matcha and black sesame sound good too; Ecuadorian pernil with motepillo; Don Ceviche ceviche. Good to get a table then take turns getting food or bring a blanket. It can get hot and humid depending on the weather so early evening or later I think is better. Porta potties available with handwashing stations. Some entertainment too. One weekend, there was a circus then a DJ (got shut down early though bec of severe weather forecast). Today, a big screen showing a World Cup game. 7 train, 111st stop then a short walk. The parking lot is usually filled and one time, half of it was closed for an event. Finding street parking is not easy. read more

I have been meaning to go for years. Now that I live in CA, I am especially homesick for NYC. So when I visited family this time, I made it my mission to come here. The first time I tried to go, it was rained out! There was severe flooding in Queens. A week after on Saturday, I was able to experience absolute bliss. Such brotherhood between complete strangers. A vibrant food scene with so many different cuisines from around the world. All for a reasonable price of $6 per dish/drinks. Yes, portions are small but guess what?! That's a great thing because it allows you to try so many dishes! The hospitality of the food venders and all vendors alike was so heartwarming. Tipping is optional but appreciated. I was in awe of the event workers routinely picking up trash and cleaning the grounds. And the ambiance? Electrifying. Music being performed live, children playing and elderly enjoying themselves. The World's Borough, I tell you, for a reason. read more

Like Adam Goldberg in Dazed and Confused, I just want to be honest about being a misanthrope. But QNM brings out my good side. I was delighted to be asked twice, "where'd you get that?" and even about how the faucet works. My off-the-cuff favorites that I mentioned Saturday were Cambodia Now for fish amok, Lexie's/Alexis for pepper pot and Playground's tamarind tofu, and perhaps the most iconic QNM vendor, Caribbean Street Eats for the fried shark sandwich with everything. The best time for lines is 4pm, the best lighting for food photos is an hour before sunset, check your local listings. read more

I try to go to the night market at least once a year; this time I came around 7pm and it was packed....Lines were crazy. We tried to get food at the shortest line we could find. First we got ramen and dumplings. Small cup of ramen.. 3 dumplings not exactly worth the cost but L wanted to try it. The char siu piece was good. Broth was ...ok. They prob use sun noodles. There was something I didn't like. There was a weird aftertaste. Like metallic.. prob the water.. I dunno. L got his usually sugar cane drinks. Just ok for me. Joon was sold out of everything by 9ish.. but the lady still gave us a sample leftover of the beef dish. Should've gone to her stall first. Loved her food my first visit. Very short line to get pepper pot over rice. It was really good... I got it again at the end but they ran out of rice .. definitely needs rice with that sauce. The polish sausage is huge. And the pierogies were good too. I liked the one with jalapeños. A lot of stalls were sold out of items. A lot of people were lined up for tacos and grilled corn. I mean you can get that anywhere... I don't like the skewers from the night market .. I've tried it at 2 completely different vendors and it's either the seasoning that we don't care for.. or it's so overcooked. I get it from a street vendor and it's so good in comparison to what we've tried here. If only she had a stand at the night market. It's not expensive but some of the food isn't that great. It's fun to come check it out once a year but a few of my favorites are no longer there so it's not really worth going.. read more

Finally made it to the queens night market! It was great to see the wide variety of vendors and of course everything being $6 or less made it even more enticing. All stands seem to take cash (there is an ATM on-site but with long lines), some of them do venmo/zelle now. We went on a ticketed night which was still very crowded! Luckily we went early so beat some of the lines but it definitely got busier as we left around 7:30. read more

Ah Queens Night Market, my beloved. The ONE food festival I always genuinely look forward to every year because it's the only one that's still worth it for what it provides: an authentic tasting of a culture's ethnic cuisine while being small and contained enough to enjoy multiple platters from all around the market. While Smorgasburg is up to.... what, $20 a plate, that same amount can get you 3-4 tastings from a variety of stalls here that are all more authentic and tasty than what the former can really offer. First visit of the year here so I had to go all out with my buds and we got a Brazilian Steak Sandwich, Pork Intestines (my personal fave), Chicken Curry Roti, Jerk Chicken, Pork Belly, Cheese Stuffed Plantains, Fujianese style Pork Ribs, Vietnamese Lychee Coffee, Pakora, Polish Sausage, Octopus Skewer, and Passionfruit Juice. Overall, most everything was quite good and shoutout to my two favorites that I always get every visit, the pork intestine skewers and the passionfruit juice. I don't know how much longer this place has at its price point, but I know I'm going to milk it for as long as I possibly can and enjoy the flavors this market has to offer to its fullest. read more

Love it. There are so many different food carts to try. This is my third time here and will be back before they leave. I tired some new dishes which were pretty good. All items are 6 bucks. My best best is Twisted Potato its so good especially when its first made. Go out and enjoy it you won't be disappointed. Treat yourself dont chest yourself!!! read more

it's just so cool that you can try so many different cuisines for just $6 each. everything we tried was at least solid to good. a standout was the fijian stand ella spice - the croquettes were tasty & the sorrel (like mexican jamaica but w cinnamon, cloves, etc) had a lovely spiced flavor. lines were p short when we got there at 5:30 but were p long by 7. we could easily go back again & again read more

A friend of mine took us here as we are new to living in NYC. I've now added this as a must-do for when our out-of-town friends come visit!! There were 4 rows of just FOOD STALLS! The variety of food types was outstanding! Sooo many different types of foods I've never tried before, so this is basically a giant playground for foodies. Plus, almost every vendor had at least one vegetarian option! Which was both refreshing and exciting. What's cool about this Night Market is that the vendors are not allowed to charge more than $6 for each item. Sure, that means the portions are a bit smaller, but that's actually perfect because it allows you to be able to try soooo many different vendors before getting too full. Loved that!! For those who like to drink, they have a designated area where you can buy alcohol but you also have to consume it in that area. They also have a live DJ, so that made the atmosphere fun. Important note: this is NOT a year-round event. It starts in June (maybe earlier, don't quote me on that!) and stops at the end of October. Basically, it's open when the weather is nice. Tip: BRING CASH!! Some vendors take credit cards, but it's not worth taking a chance. They have ATMs on site, but they likely charge a crazy fee. Already looking forward to coming back next year!! read more

One of the best things you can do in NYC hands down. Queens Night Market offers the best of the city in an accessible way that really highlights the diversity and range of food and culture in the area. It's a great space where you can have a group hang and be as formal or casual as you want with the accessibility of the park right there. Most importantly, nothing is over $6 per item AND any stall needs to be from the culture that is serving the dish. It's a true statement to really investing in authenticity. If you can make it, head out to the market! read more

Back again for the first official opening night of the 2025 summer season! They scheduled a couple ticketed soft opening nights 2-3 weeks prior, drumming up support for the kickoff and according to their website using part of these funds to provide vendors with some financial subsidies to keep prices capped at $6 across all items. Originally my plan was to attend one of these soft openings, though Saturday a couple weeks ago it got rained out. Hats off to the organizers' efforts to make things affordable! While the servings are smaller-sized compared to other food courts or markets, however the beauty of it is that you can try a few different things in one visit, you're not tied to one dish. This gives people the opportunity to sample some cuisines they might not normally seek out. I will say that not all vendors are necessarily at the pinnacle of their cuisine, nor do I think one necessarily should expect that of this night market setup. For the most part the food is decent and some of it is stellar. Much appreciation to the organizers for their commitment in showcasing diverse cuisines and products. With over 50 stands, they represent the multiculturalism that exists in Queens. For this visit I got the Ohno Kaukswe $6 (aka coconut chicken noodle soup) from Burmese Bites, a perennially popular stand here, this noodle soup comes with diced chicken, red onion slivers, chopped cilantro and half an egg. Southeast Asian comfort food! I also picked up Rostacy Jamaican's oxtail over jollof rice and peppered cabbage slaw $6 - delish! The oxtail (being oxtail) wasn't the easiest to eat with a plastic fork, though i unabashedly went at it. What tasty flavor with a slightly spicy kick! The jollof rice was fluffy though a little oversalted from the oxtail marinade that was drizzled over it, still delicious, and the cabbage slaw was fresh, crunchy, on point. Last but not least, I picked up a calamansi-ade $3 from Rotonda Chick'n (Filipino stand) which was cool and refreshing with that bit of sweet, tart and slightly bitter finish. Would order all three of these items again! read more

Queens Night Market is a great experience. Gates open at 4pm. Between 4 and 6 crowds are lighter and lines shorter, but the sun is blaring on most of the area. After 6 more people come in and lines get longer, but the darker nighttime vibe is great. Parking may be challenging. Earlier you have a better chance of grabbing a street spot or a paid spot in the lot The area behind the Hall of Science is very spacious. Tons of grassy area that you can bring blankets and chairs to set up camp and hang out. There are also a bunch of tables on both sides of the market. Music acts rotate throughout the night which keeps the vibe fun. It's quite family friendly and all ages seem to have a great time. Once of the best parts of the market is that all food vendors sell items for $6 or less. This is your opportunity to try things you've never had before. We try to experience different items when we go, this time around here's the run down of what we got. Arepalicious: The arepa cone stuffed with chicken, guacamole and sauce was really delicious. I loved how they layered the sauce so you got it throughout the cone. Pernil Ecuatoriano: The Pernil Sandwich was sensational. Juicy and succulent Pernil topped with a sauce that had a hint of spice on a soft burger bun. This may have been the best bite of the night. Chinese Burger: The Chinese Pork Burger was so enjoyable! Fatty succulent pork in a scallion pancake bun, it was so good. Misubi: Opted for the coconut shrimp, which was super crunchy with a punch of coconut flavor atop rice and nori. A lovely bite. Abborajo: Plantain cake stuffed with cheese and topped with shredded beef and a drizzle of garlic sauce. This was really yummy. Wish it had a crunch factor to it, but it was tasty. Babka Bailout: The potato burekas was so savory and wonderful. They also sell mini babkas in a ton of different flavors. Saltfish Shack: Salt Cod Balls topped with a chipotle aioli, very well done. They couldn't make them fast enough so they were freshly fried. The bake is like a spiced zeppole and it was fantastic. Hints of cinnamon and maybe nutmeg, it was so light and delicious. DiLena's Dolcini: Sells alcohol gummy bears and assorted baked goods. Their brownies and chocolate chip cookies are on point. There are also multiple bars around where you can grab wine, beer or hard seltzer to have with the food. If all the food isn't enough there are a bunch of non-food vendors to shop at as well It's a great event to experience and try some new things. It runs every Saturday until end of October. read more

Obsessed!! I have never seen so many foods from different countries in one spot! I loved the variety of food, everything I ate was delicious, and most of the bites were $5 Loved the rotation of live bands FYI some of the booths only take cash so make sure you have some beforehand but there are ATM's there too Will definitely return when the market reconvenes in September read more

This is a really cool event that Flushing Meadows does on Saturdays. Many food vendors to try, unique things that I don't come across on a regular basis. This past weekend I saw pig tails, even shark! I'm not that adventurous, but a lot of people were on their lines to try it. I tried Saltfish Shack's Taste of Barbados 2 fish cakes and 1 bake with tamarind sauce which was absolutely delicious. I've never had tamarind before, and now I'm like, but why?! The bake was basically identical to an Italian zeppoli with powdered sugar. Also tried cheese stuffed fried plantains with chimichurri sauce which was also so good. Ended the night with banana pudding fried ice cream which was huge, and pleasantly surprised to find it was fresh bananas and nilla wafers not fake boxed banana pudding taste. Cool thing to do at night, no entrance fee, and nothing there costs more than $6. Can't beat it! read more

Had my first Queens Night Market experience a few months ago while visiting NYC the week after Memorial Day and it was a blast! Our big group of 9 sat on some picnic blankets in the grass behind the booths and the weather was windy but nice (at least before it got too chilly when the sun went down :P). I love that we were able to try a bunch of different things to share: some of my favorites were the spam musubi, the cheese-stuffed plantains topped with chicharron, sesame noodles, breadfruit croquettes, and fry bread, but everything we tried was great. I think the Saturday we went, the Queens Night Market was also popping up at the Met's new exhibit opening so not all the usual vendors were present, but that just meant that some of my friends who are regulars got to try new things, which was awesome. Definitely some place we'd want to come back the next time we're in the city. Super accessible by subway as well! read more

Super fun ambience. I love the night markets in China, and though this is quite different, it's still so nice to explore such a lively scene in the evening. There's a ton of vendors and foods from across the world are represented (it's truly global in scope). I believe none of the vendors charge more than $6 for any item to allow you to try lots of foods. some of the food samples are extremely small! so pay attention to the sample size or ask. I recommend the peruvian ceviche and coconut tarts from moonman. There's a lot to try so I'll be back again soon! Bring cash and a picnic blanket as there's not seating at this venue. read more

The Queens Night Market is super fun! Runs from April to October. Nothing costs more than $6 and every cuisine you can imagine is represented. I went to the 2026 preview on April 18. The weather was fabulous, the dj was poppin' and the food was ooh la la. Lots of great people watching every time! My first stop is always at the Argentinian sandwich stall to get my yummy lomo sandwich and mint lemonade. Other things I enjoyed this last time were carnitas tacos, popcorn chicken from the Taiwanese stall, thai iced tea and some wine. Be aware that the the wine is $6 and comes in a super tiny cup. That did not stop me from having a few! I recommend to bring mixed bills of $5 and $1. The vendors are not really equipped to make change for larger bills. Some of them will allow you to use a card and some will have a sign that says CASH ONLY. read more

My sister has been talking about this place since the beginning of summer and I have heard about it before. So I decided to go with her to see what this was all about. Getting there was pretty easy. We took the 7 train and got off at 111 street stop. We were a bit concerned about where to go from there. It was kind of funny because all we had to do was just really follow the crowds walking towards the same area we figured they were going to the night market too. It is located 4 blocks away from the train station it was very easy to get there. When we got there it was still pretty empty. There are about 4 or 5 long different rows of vendors. There were more food vendors than merchandise. They have some picnic tables set up if you want to sit and eat, plus a big area where you can bring your own chairs to sit. The market opens up at 4:00p and we came about 4:30p. We came at the perfect time it wasn't that busy yet so I just took my time looking around at everything. I really would recommend getting there early. As the night progressed it started to get more crowded and more people mean longer lines to order food. They did have a pretty nice selection of food all different types. Prices ranged from $5 and up. After leisurely walking around deciding what to eat we ended up getting some knishes which were very good and the fried ice cream were ridiculously delicious. It's a great way to spend a Saturday night to just enjoy the weather, people and food. read more

Dude dude dude dude. This was AMAZING. I found it incidentally online looking for things to do in Flushing, since I was taking my mom out there in the morning for Dim Sum, and just stumbled across the night market. It's so amazing. The whole vibe is great, as is the authenticity and variety of the different food stalls. The people working them have to be from the represented culture and no item can be more than 6 dollars. Heck, even the tall boy of excellent local beer was only 6 dollars. The Night Market stall also sold a cookbook signed by the creators of the market, and I bought it. The recipes are incredible. Not the sort of Manhattan street fair with a few gems but otherwise a lot of sausage on a stick, Egyptian cotton sheets, and funnel cakes, but a real international experience. Had bison chile frybread, a burmese styled quesadilla, skewers of lamb, the list goes on and on. I can't wait to go back. I've been gushing about it to anyone who will listen since I went for their soft opening. And the location in the park is awesome too. read more

This was a fun time at the market in Queens. This was very different from the one in the Bronx. First off they have an entrance and an exit. They check bags and they have officers on the premises. These things are needed of course if you have so many people attending what I would call a food extravaganza. I mean they had so much food from all parts of the world in one location. The vibes were vibing with the music that was provided along with tables and port a potties, portable sinks to wash your hands and even pop up ATMs so you could get cash because this is what most of the venders took. It was very few that took tap and pay. Most of the venders that sold food wanted $5 to $6 and you would get a very small portion of whatever type of food they were offering. The amount was great for the price. They also other items to purchase that wasn't food like accessories of different sorts. We decided to stick with getting food. We got a couple of things from different parts of China, Haiti, Portugal, and Jamaica. Trust me there was plenty to try, so much it became a little overwhelming as the lines began to grow. I have to say from everything I had and my girls weren't disappointed from, everything was pretty tasty. My overall experience was good. It was definitely a fun family day. That's exactly who I would say to bring with you or some friends. This way it's enough of you to share and take on those long lines lol. Thumbs up for me. Happy Yelping! read more

I traveled from Brooklyn to the Queens Night Market, and the trip wasn't as long as I expected. I recommend arriving early, around 4-5 PM, because it gets very crowded later on. There's plenty of seating, and you can also bring a blanket to relax on the grass. They provide outdoor restrooms and hand-washing stations, which is convenient. Beyond the food, the market has live music, including a section where kids can dance, and vendors selling art and other unique items. The food options are a lot, ranging from Caribbean to Asian, European, African, and more. It was too much to choose from so it be great to know what you want before you get there. Some lines are longer than the others. Everything is $6 or under, which makes it affordable to try different dishes. While some portions are small, many vendors give you a good amount for the price. I would definitely go back to the Queens Night Market and I found it better than Smorgasburg Brooklyn. read more

I loved attending queens night market. The $6 price cap and wide variety of cuisines makes it easy to try a bunch of new and different foods. I got there around 5:45pm and found the lines to be reasonable, nearing 7 they started getting longer. There is seating, but a lot of people seem to also bring picnic blankets. We personally just walked around and ate standing up, which to me felt pretty easy as well. We split everything between 3 people and were able to try around 12 different food/drink options. Highlights were: - Cachapa with queso from Ay Cachapas was delicious, freshly made on the grill just seconds before and had an impressive cheese pull - Taro Thai tea boba from Anda boba tea - high quality full sized drink for $6 read more

We hit up Queens Night Market on their last day of 2024 and WOW, everything was so delicious and affordable!! Free admission, and all food is priced at or under $6 which is pretty unbelievable in NYC. The portion and quality still hit the spot. We were very satisfied with most of the food we got. FYI I spent only $15 while my boyfriend spent over $30 to get full. We tried 8 vendors in total. ＊Twister Cone with Vanilla Ice Cream @twistercakes The first vendor we checked out because we literally went all the way to Queens just for their twister cone. I've been dreaming about it for months!! Every cone is freshly rolled and baked on the spot. Bf said the twister come seemed to be even crispier than the one he had in Prague. ＊Cadet Combo @hellomoonman This $12 combo set included: sticky rice with ube jam, cassava cake with pandan kaya jam, and coconut pancake with java palm sugar. Our fav is the sticky rice with ube jam. The coconut pancake had a crème brûlée top and coconut flakes. Sweet and delightful. ＊Chicken Curry Palata @burmesebite One of the most recommended vendors at QNM and it was worth the hype!!! The curry chicken and potato were succulent and tender. It served as the perfect dipping sauce for the flaky roti. ＊Dan Dan Noodle from Szechuan If you want to maximize the value, you can get a full bowl of dan dan noodles for only $6. We were so surprised by how delicious it was. The chili oil was spicy and frangrant. Will def get this again next year and try their Szechuan iced jelly. ＊Smiling Egg Waffle (mochi) @andabobanewyork You can pick up to two flavors from custard, nutella, mochi and matcha. The egg waffle was very chewy and bouncy with a crispy crust. Each piece had at least 3-4 mochi. ＊Taiwan Pork Bun @cbaoasianbuns $6 gua bao was a good deal. It was smaller than a regular one. The braised pork belly was juicy, and I liked the pickled mustard greens and peanut powder. ＊Shish Kebob @labrazany This Ecuadorian beef skewer was smoky and the aroma attracted us from a distance. Yet the meat was unevenly cooked as some parts were tough. ＊Top Sirloin Plate @mister_bocadillos Not recommended. Stingy portion of steak + overly salty. read more

Visited my old neighborhood of Queens, NY for Queens Night Market. Wow! DEI vibes & love in abundance (Down to Eat It) With my wingmen Ant' and Sonny we proved the truthfulness of - your eyes are bigger than your stomach. With 70+ food vendors all priced between $3 - $6, we set out with cash, card, & GPay to do delicious damage. Serving sizes range from generous Costco sample to a small bowl brimming with marinated culture or mini paper plates lightly weighted with soul sustaining goody-ness. Like kitchen priest the vendors fed multitudes blessings from ancestors, parents, grands, aunties, & fam recipes, miracles created from what little they had. All I could do... Blue/Point beer Chick'n Rotonda (Filipino) - pork skewer Gi Hin Mama Food - squid, lamb, beef skewers Emeye Ethiopian Cuisine - sega wet plate - beef stew in berebere sauce w/ injera Caribbean Street Eats/Trini Street Eats (Trinidadian) - bake 'n shrimp sandwich Taiwanese Yummy - braised beef bowl queensnightmarket.com read more

Coming here there is so many different amazing options to try different kinds of foods and support your local artist. We went with a few friends tried a bit of everything and none of the food booths disappointed. There's a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy. They had a lot of different cultures food and cuisines for you to try. The lines weren't too crazy. They had fried ice cream, squid, shark, lam, chicken, beef, pastry, candy, alcohol, & so many more things to try I did not mention. A lot of the things were reasonably priced. I've come here a couple years but this year I feel like they don't have as many vendors and a lot of the items were smaller portions than what I remember. I guess shrink inflation. They had great music playing all cultures, a little dance floor section. I would recommend if you can, bring your own mat or blanket to sit on the floor cause the tables that have chairs get full quickly. I rated them a 4 out of 5 cuz the bathroom situation was very scary. The porta potty situation was by far one of the most horrendous porta potties I've ever seen. A lot of them were "put outta order" by just leaving the door open and having the red occupancy sign showing. A lot the available to use toilets had blood filled feminine products all over the floor or seats , and or exploded diarrhea on the floor or seats. Or no tissue so I guess bring your own. I decided to just hold my pee but upon opening all the bathrooms doors I wanted to wash my hands only 1 sink had a tiny bit of water none had soap thank god I had some but it makes me question now the food an safety concern since I saw vendors also using those toilets but walking out and not having access to washing their hands. We came late at night around 8p so maybe during the day they had better bathroom hygiene practices but clearly towards the night It was the neglected. I still would show up to grab some stuff, but I don't think I would stay long because the bathroom situation is not the best . Definitely bring your own hand sanitizer. DO NOT DRIVE THERE the parking situation is nearly impossible to find a spot to part. read more

2nd time that I was able to enjoy the night market. This time is was cold and windy .... Go earlier when it first opens in the warmer months ! As soon as I reached headed straight for the twisted potato! Amazing as always! Got the buffalo flavor. Stopped by a Taiwanese stand and got some deep fried oyster mushrooms. Not bad! Then tried to get some ginger sugar cane juice but it was a bit lacking in ginger to me! To end the night I stopped by the Trini stand and got some warm corn soup to help warm me up! It didn't disappoint. Loved the chucks of corn on cob pieces. Can't wait to visit again next year ...when warmer! read more

Absolutely awful. The sponsor of the event needs to implement some basic food safety checks and protocol - not sure how a food cart can be subject to health checks but these stands are somehow not subject to any checks whatsoever. If not vetting the food safety then what is the organizer of this event being paid for other than renting a parking lot? My son ate there last night and hours later started vomiting uncontrollably. He now has massive uncontrollable diarrhea going on for almost 12 hours. read more

The worst part was getting there - crammed like sardines on the 7 train. When we were there we discovered that the parking fee was $15 for late night and $20 for earlier times. I would suggest going to the park earlier to enjoy the scenery before the 5PM rush. The venue was a little bit tricky to find from Mets-Willets Point station because our GPS was unsure which way to go initially. One has to walk across the boardwalk - be careful! because there are lots of loose boards. Then, you walk down the ramp and to the right and at the next "intersection," you veer to the right again and you'll see it to the right just over the bridge. (Total walk time is about twenty minutes) Don't mistake the other vendors (straight ahead) as being a part of it, as they are not. The area for Queens Night Market is fenced off and the security checks bags and people to ensure a safe environment for all. Everything food / specialty drinks is priced at $6.00 which makes it super easy to plan for. The only downside is that some vendors take cash only, so plan ahead! They have a large assortment of food vendors and a line of artists. Bathrooms are portapotty's and they are found alongside where beer/wine booths are and on the other side of the lawn. In the middle of the lawn across from the Jerk Chicken spot, is a small tent with live music, and I have to say their vocals are pretty amazing. If you are into picnics, I'd suggest bringing a blanket or lawn chairs and some bug spray. My boo and I spent about three hours here, looking at art, waiting on queues, and sharing noshes so we didn't fill up on one thing. Excited to go back the next chance I get for some yummmms and cheap eats! I'll add some pics later. Happy eats! read more

It's a cool vibe, some lines can get long. Parking is usually very hard during peak hours. My fav food spot is the Korean lettuce spot, it's always tasty. I was happy to learn the price didnt increase since last year. read more

Located in the New York Hall of Science parking lot. Incan't believe it so long to come here, but I'm glad I finally did. This place is high energy with rustic seating/standing while you're delicious eating. An international heaven of foods. The food kiosks offer small bites for no more than $6 each. So you walk around and try a little here and there. My Ethiopian bite was spicy pureed lentils, spinach and cabbage. Healthy and delicious. Then I had a bulgogi beef bun at at Korean venue. You probably already know that longer lines= more deliciousness. I'll be back to try more of the many options I was too full to try. Vita Coco was giving away their coconut water that day. Live music and some tables and chairs and porta potties. The crowds were having fun in this high energy gastro event. Every Saturday from 4 pm - midnight through October. Parking is $15 but there is free parking close by as well as public transportation. read more

Holy moly! Food Galore! There are a few extra vendors in the back now! This market is so much more affordable than Smorgasburg. The portions are smaller, but it also means, I get to save stomach space and try more food. There are tons and tons of different cuisine which I love! Only in Queens! There are plenty of tables and porta potties. Bring your own chair if you decide to lounge longer because the tables get filled quickly. I had a couple + couple of dishes I tried. Fried tofu - good, but will only try once. The outer coating is very thin and crisp. The flavor was five spice with white pepper. Paella - skip, the rice was very wet. No seafood at all. Had artichoke and chicken. Beef arepa - really good. A bit spicy. Had a lot of beef brisket. Cheese inside the arepa. Really enjoyed this. Beef arepa from Ay Cach___ - forgot the name and photo for this one, but their arepa are different. It has corn kernels inside and it was gooey and soft with cheese filling. I enjoyed this one the most and even took one to-go. The garlic sauce was better than the guacamole cilantro sauce (had a slight bitterness). Jollof with stew chicken -not bad, but good to try once. I didn't find anything special about this one. Lentil kofta - reminds me of an Italian rice ball, hence we tried it. The flavor was alright. This really ruin my stomach space. Eat this if you want to be full easily. Sorrel ginger - forgot a picture of this one. I love sorrel ginger drink. This one has a stronger ginger taste which I don't mind. Very refreshing. I can't wait to come back. There's so much more vendors I want to try out. Also, they open at 4pm. Street parking was pretty hard to find. Gotta circle around until someone leaves. read more

Over 74 food vendors. Most food price is $6 an order. I saw one fancy cotton candy is $8. We parked at Hall of science parking lot. The parking fee says $15 but since I'm a museum member, so I got to park for free. Parking can be a problem at that area. Live museum was playing. Mobile potty and ATM available. Tables available or bring your own mat to sit on the grass. We tried the Panda bubble tea ( so so, kids like it because it's sweet) , baked pastry ice cream cone with ice cream ( they baked on site. Baker rolled the dough in front of audience) and hangrydog ( corndog). Great atmosphere. Nice relaxing place to be. There are others arts and crafts vendors including one Henna booth. Check out their website for a list of vendors. Btw. Bring enough cash. Most are cash only. Some take credit card but charge extra. read more

Queens Night Market is still going strong after so many years. The crowds are crowded, the lines for the popular vendors are long, and the parking is non-existent. The best thing about this is "Queens", I f'in love my borough! - and you have access to many different foods in one spot. Here are my show notes: Parking - Don't do it. With the Mets playing a double header (even as crap as they are), other events (such as the HK Dragon Boat races the day I went) along with everybody and their cousin partying inside the park. Its just a stupid idea and you sound kinda silly complaining that its not convenient to park. Public transportation or parking far and walking is the way to go. Seating - get there early with a group and camp your ass at that tables like many people do, or bring a blanket to picnic in the grass, or do what we did - stand like an animal in the field, lean forward not to spill food on yourself and shovel it in. Food: Tada Noodles Jjajangmyeon - This was pretty good and good portion size. I didn't eat much of this. 4 stars Nixtamal (Mexican Mole Poblano) - I went with the mole nachos. They were decent - chips were slightly stale and mole a little more on the sweet side. 3 stars Matylda's Foods (Polish Pierogies) - I did not try, but 3 tiny, sparsely filled pierogi is not worth it IMO. 2 stars Treat Yourself Jerk - Love the name, didn't love they were the only vendor I saw adding tax to their prices. They have those big smoker grills drawing you in though and the jerk chicken was money. 4 stars (1 star charge for tax! lol) Taiwanese Yummy (Beef Noodle Soup) - Taiwanese Sausage with sticky rice sausage. The picture looked huge, but 4 bite sized pieces of each didn't live up to it. Good flavor though. The beef noodle soup and other dishes looked more generous. 3.5 stars Sichuan Ice Jelly - This was the bomb and so refreshing on this hot humid night. Also order the sesame noodles, but was too busy scarfing down the ice jelly to try. Glad I got this instead of ice cream because it hit the spot. 5 stars Anyway.. Long live the Queens Night Market! read more
