Beef Gyro from Enfes NYC. $6
Harris L.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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

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!

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.

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

Cash is king at QNM. There may be certain vendors that can process cc / debit or accept electronic…

What days does it open?

It was not that big, a lot of open space and was freezing outside. Would recommend getting discount tickets. Only took me 40 mins going around and taking pictures... and didn't understand some of their themes e.g. the squirrel robot was very weird! Butterfly wings and castle were nice. The bike wall should have had instructions - peddle fast to light up the wall (unless I missed it). Wasn't that busy or packed the day I went, but very, very cold. Overall, this lantern festival was ok... This event is in the parking lot of CitiField, not inside CitiField. Best to bring a real camera -- if you have a smartphone, better bring portable charger...iPhone batteries will drain very quickly as they cannot adapt to hot or cold weather. Bathrooms are porta-potties. If you want to warm up, go inside the dome tents for food (cash only and cheap) and other things for kids to do. Good to see it once and with a discount, not worth going again.

I found a few mentions of it online but no official website, it's apparently organized by the Queens Public Library and I did spot a table giving out free books. I uploaded some photos of online mentions of it to prove to Yelp it exists! The street fair is small, maybe five blocks, and consists mostly of affordable jewelry, toys, clothing, shoes and bags. Some if was a dollar store nonsense, but other people were selling everything from rugs to pipes, incense to handmade magnets. The older woman buying a magnet made me smile, "I'm getting the STRAWBERRY, because they're in season". I mean, it's a magnet, but also, it's October. I also saw a woman selling CBD products claiming to provide instant pain relief, another offering vegan soy based candles and soaps. I bought a cute over the shoulder travel bag for just $22. There was the annoying T-Mobile truck, and an Escape to the Caribbean booth which seems a bit suspicious to me. USA Devanand Yoga Center was there. As well as Exit Realty.... But they also had bouncy castles for the kids on one of the side streets. It was cool seeing them underneath the elevated 7 line tracks. Suddenly an older woman grabbed me and started rubbing my shoulders before directing me to a bunch of massage chairs (she was definitely someone's grandma, it was cool). I'm so primed to just so no but then I instantly thought, ya know what, I DO want a massage. $15 for 15 minutes, money well spent. They put a clean paper towel over the part of the chair my face rests on without me having to ask and were very friendly. It wasn't the best massage I've had, but it was great for the setting! Food options were limited. Queen Big Candy Apples, Ecuadorian grilled corn, Cane Man (cane juice), Zeppole/funnel cake guy, Mozzarepas (mozzarella grilled in-between corn bread), cotton candy out of an adorable tiny pink truck, Panaderia Tlaxcalita - selling lemonade and fruit juices, the sausage and pepper guys, and Athens Delight doing lamb gyros, and beef and chicken kebabs. This was the place I ended up ordering a lamb gyro from, with lettuce, onions, tomato, and tzatziki sauce. For $10 this was super filling, I couldn't even finish it. It tasted a bit like sausage but sliced long and thin, really moist and flavorful. The festival was a nice walk, a fun last minute thing to do, I definitely enjoyed myself. But right now it's small enough that I wouldn't tell people to make a pilgrimage for it. I'd like to see them bring more local restaurants from the area to sell their food, or even some of the regular street vendors who work in that area. Two porta potties, pleasent surprise!

Historically speaking I had never been to the Queens Theatre before the other night when I caught…read morethe NYC appearance by the band Rolling Quartz. The band had embarked on their North American tour from their native South Korea. Since I had never seen the band before as well, the adventure to a new space for me made the whole thing more interesting to me. Now I travel via the MTA, and from Bay Ridge this event space is a bit of a hike. It's the R train to the N to the 7 to a fairly decent walk. Those who are driving or taking an Uber might have a little better trek experience than I did but that being said once I made it past the famed Unisphere and over to New York State Pavilion, it was time to go into the Queens Theatre. When I arrived there were already about 100 attendees lined up because the band was doing all sorts of VIP things with them. A cool part of the agenda for sure. Inside the theatre is a spacious lobby area with seating all around near the windows. There are concessions there but I only saw drinks being sold when I looked. There was a small merchandise table for the band set up and I imagine that when other shows happen here this will be their space as well. Right off the bat I connected to a complimentary WiFi signal which was good but seemed to go on and off during the course of the performance. Once I was in the actual performance space I was quite impressed. The stage is sizable which was great because this was a five member band with a full backline and the seats were oh so comfortable. Yes this was a Rock Show and people would likely be standing throughout the performance but when it was time to sit you could do so in comfort. I positioned myself in the eighth or so row on the aisle since I needed to shoot photographs and I was happy to report that there were no bad sightlines in the theater. The sound was also clear and impressive which was partially a testimony to the bands team on the tour. While I didn't get to explore the venue all that much outside of the show, I did see one of the spacious side rooms which I guess they do talks in or smaller events. The band has set up their meet and greets there so it was in and out in terms of time to examine. There was a complimentary WiFi that I did find to be spotty at times but I feel this was based on the amount of people choosing to live stream the show. There were obviously restrooms and while I can only speak for the men's facility it was quite clean which is always a pleasant find. Overall this was a great experience for me but I cannot fathom when and if I might make a return based on the logistics and scarcity of what most interests me happening here. I will be keeping tabs on their calendar for good measure just in case and maybe some other localized Hard Rock bands can look into it or even local promoters who wish to do something that is no too crazy.

This was my first visit to the Queens Theater. I secured tickets through the library cultural pass…read more We went to watch "Sugar Skull - A Dia de Muertos Musical Adventure." We had a hard time finding parking as the show was about to start and the park is always busy. There were two small lots nearby that were full. Upon entering check in was easy. They had a small concession stand. The seating was great with no obstructed views. The play itself was kid friendly and told the meaning and traditions of the special day. It was very informative and entertaining. I enjoyed the different styles of dances performed, the colorful outfits, the creative scenery (which was simple but effective). I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to visiting again.
