Colombian arepas, Singaporean chai tow kueh, Afghan manta and chapli kebabs, and much more are on the menu for the Queens Night Market when it kicks off in Flushing Meadows Corona Park next month.
The food festival s first Saturday will be June 19th, and will run on Saturdays through October 30th. In a change from previous years and in a nod to the pandemic the Queens Night Market will offer timed and ticketed entry.
Tickets will be $5 in advance (children are free and if advance tickets remain unsold, walk-up tickets will be $8). Those ticket fees will offset the vendors participation fees, because capacity restrictions will limit how many customers vendors will see. If capacity limits are completely removed, the event will revert to being free. The food festival had been canceled last year because of the pandemic.

There are more food vendors here than almost any other fair, so you can expect that all the classics will be covered, like old-school saltwater taffy at Sutter s Taffy, funnel cakes that even double as burger buns, and fried
Among the world’s great sandwiches without a serious New York City presence, the roti john, like the one chef Amy Pryke serves at Native Noodles in Washington Heights, surely ranks near the top.
As one of the apocryphal origin stories of the dish goes, an Englishman in the late 1960s asked a Malay hawker in Singapore for a hamburger. The hawker didn’t have any burgers, so instead he fried together a concoction of minced mutton, eggs, and onions and pressed it into a baguette.
