Central Park night market brings good food to Columbus Circle

NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – The best of New York City’s food scene will fill Central Park starting Tuesday.

Night Market NYC will bring over 30 food vendors from birria tacos to Korean corn dogs to Columbus Circle from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday. The “culinary playground” will return to Columbus Circle every Tuesday through Oct. 8.

Hungry attendees will get to taste aguas frescas from Tlaxcalita, Jamaican staples, vegan loaded cheesecake from Culiraw, seafood, and more. It’s free to RSVP, but a $9.31 entry will get you a raffle ticket to win $100.

“Come hungry and ready to explore,” organizers said.

Columbus Circle isn’t the only place to catch a night market this fall . Vendors will also bring bites like lobster rolls, truffle fries and arepas to Quisqueya Plaza and Industry City throughout September and October.

Looking specifically for Italian eats? The Feast of San Gennaro is bringing decorations, decadent bites and programming to Manhattan’s Little Italy through Sept. 22. Thai Fest will bring Thai flavors to Astor Place, Fourth Avenue and Broadway this September and August.
