Here’s what you can eat at Union Square’s first-ever night market opening July 11
The Union Square Greenmarket is already a sunny-day staple for New Yorkers and now the lively park and public plaza is going to be taking over your evenings, too, with a brand-new night market set to debut later this month.
RECOMMENDED: Here are all the NYC night markets to indulge in this year, from vegan food to Latin faves
As part of the Union Square Partnership’s annual Summer in the Square series—weekly outdoor programming that includes free movie screenings, dance performances, fitness classes, CityPickle courts, family-friendly activities and more—Union Square will host its first-ever Night Market during summer evenings this month. The open-air market will run for four Thursdays at the park’s South Plaza, starting July 11 and stretching through August 1. It will be presented by Urbanspace, the same folks who put on the square’s Holiday Market each year, so you already know that they know what they’re doing.
The Union Square Night Market by Urbanspace will feature the tasty wares of 20 independent and local vendors: you can snack your way through Belgian-style fries from Home Frit, Mexican tamales from La Palapa, bánh mì sandwiches from Mama’s Cupboard, rice platters from TNT Pineapple Bowls, fried oysters from Paris Po’Boys, Treat Yourself Jerk’s award-winning chicken and more. And for something a little sweet, Chocolate on Tap will be on hand dousing fresh strawberries in rich, flowing chocolate.
